TeachRite Math Section for Praxis I and Other Basic Skills Tests

The Mathematics Section of TeachRite covers everything needed to succeed in this often challenging portion of your basic skills test.  The Math Section starts with a useful study guide that is fully narrated not only to assist audio learners but to help keep all students engaged.   The developers of TeachRite have a unique understating of various learning styles.  The narration and animated characters used throughout the study guides help both audio and visual learners.  At the end of the study guide you’ll learn some valuable tips for test day. 

Next, you’ll start answering practice questions within the powerful learning management system.  Although some states only include 4 answer choices on their exams, TeachRite features 5 answer choices for each multiple choice question.  This helps prepare all students, regardless of their exact test.  Each practice question includes feedback or remediation which will be presented after you answer it.  This ensures you understand what’s right or wrong about each question.  Soon, you’ll be taking questions in a timed final exam format, to help mimic what you’ll experience on your actual exam day.
 
The math section covers these broad content areas: Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry and Measurement, Data interpretation, and Reasoning.  Test questions may fit into more than one content area.  To break the math test down even further, let’s look at the following content outline.  Generally, math questions will fall into one or more of the following categories:

A. Conceptual Knowledge (Integers, Fractions, Decimals, Number Properties, and Operation Properties)
B. Procedural Knowledge (Ratios, Proportions, Percents, Equations, Inequalities, Computations, Patterns, and simple Probability)
C. Representations of Quantitative Information (Reading and interpreting graphs, tables and diagrams; finding range, average, and mode; making comparisons, predictions, extrapolations, or inferences; applying variations; and recognizing connections between symbols and words, tables, graphs and data)
D. Measurement and Information Geometry (Customary and metric system; reading calibrated scales; using geometric concepts and properties, such as spatial relationships, symmetry, the Pythagorean theorem, and angles; and solving measurement problems, including linear, area, and volume formulas and rates)
E. Formal Mathematical Reasoning in a Quantitative Context (Connectives and quantifiers, Venn diagrams, validity, and conclusions, including generalizations and counterexamples)
