MTEL Elementary School Mathematics Test Answer Key
1. A: Integers are the positive and negative whole numbers plus zero.
2. B: A probability is the numerical measure of the likelihood an event will happen. It is a number from zero (0) to one (1). Zero means it will definitely not happen, one means it definitely will happen and point five (0.5) means it is a draw, i.e. just as likely to happen as not happen
3. C: Experts agree students need to know the definitions of terms, how to apply formulas, and understand the methods used to arrive at the answer to a problem. So even though studies have shown using the procedural approach to teach math can actually inhibit understanding and prohibit integrating new concepts with previously learned data, the basics still need to be acquired.
4. D: Statistics is a precise, analytical system that is used to identify, study and solve various problems. Statistics can help people interpret events and make decisions in uncertain and difficult situations. Statistics infers relationships, measures interactions and predicts outcomes among variables.
5. A: Studying geometry helps students hone their spatial visualization skills, which helps them function better in the physical world and prepares them for various careers. Points, lines, angles, surfaces and solids are all used in painting, sculpture, architecture and engineering.
