If you are taking the Praxis Core, you are probably wondering about the level of math on the Praxis. The short answer is that the Math subtest of the Praxis Core tests you on all the math you should have learned before beginning college. Even though you may only be teaching elementary level math, you will still be tested on high school graduate level math. <\/p>\n

Four Subsections of Praxis Core Math<\/h2>\n

There are four major content areas covered in the Praxis Core Math test. Thirty percent (30%) of the questions cover \u201cNumber and Quantity.\u201d Thirty percent (30%) of the questions cover \u201cAlgebra and Functions.\u201d Twenty percent (20%) of the questions cover \u201cGeometry.\u201d Twenty percent (20%) of the questions cover \u201cStatistics and Probability.\u201d<\/p>\n

You might be a little worried if, say, you haven\u2019t really thought about geometry since 9th grade. I understand! Remember, the level of math on the Praxis is high school graduate. If you learned and passed once, you just need to go back and refresh your memory. ETS has a completely free online guide to the Praxis Core<\/a>, so you can read up on all the different math content areas to familiarize yourself. For now, I\u2019ll give you the overview.<\/p>\n

Level of Math on Praxis Core \u201cNumber and Quantity\u201d Content Area<\/h2>\n

The content in Number and Quantity<\/a> includes ratios, fractions, multiplications and division, order of operations, radicals, and exponents, among other topics.<\/p>\n

Level of Math on Praxis Core \u201cAlgebra and Functions\u201d Content Area<\/h2>\n

\"What
\nThe algebra<\/a> section contains questions on topics including algebraic equations and solving algebraic equations, linear equations, solving one-variable equations and inequalities, and solving equations graphically. As far as function<\/a> questions, you will be asked to both build and interpret functions.<\/p>\n

Level of Math on Praxis Core \u201cGeometry\u201d Content Area<\/h2>\n

The geometry<\/a> section tests your understanding of various shapes (such as circles and right triangles) as well as the ideas of congruence and similarity, geometric measurement and dimension, and modeling with geometry.<\/p>\n

Level of Math on Praxis Core \u201cStatistics and Probability\u201d Content Area<\/h2>\n

For the statistics and probability<\/a> section, you’ll want to make sure you know how to interpret a graph, calculate mean, median and mode for a data set, and determine probability. You should also know the basics of statistical variability and distributions.<\/p>\n
