To the Student
This book is designed to help you practice for the CRCT in Mathematics.
The book contains practice questions arranged by topic, and
practice tests.

The practice questions by topic are organized by content strands.


There are five strands:
• Numbers and Operations
• Measurement
• Geometry
• Algebra
• Data Analysis and Probability

Within each strand, there are several 3-page worksheets on each topic.
Each question, like the state test, is multiple choice.

At the back of the book, the practice tests contain mixed practice on all
strands. The questions are also in multiple-choice format.

When you take the CRCT, you will have a maximum of 70 minutes
to complete each section. This is an average of about 2 minutes per
question. It is a good idea to time yourself as you work some of the
practice questions in order to get used to working in a timed situation.

In addition to the practice in this book, your textbook has many


opportunities to practice questions in the format of the CRCT, as well
as practice tests and test-taking strategies.

Standardized Test-Taking Strategies for Math
Standardized tests, such as the CRCT, are designed in order for you to
demonstrate the content and skills you have learned. It is important to
keep in mind that, in most cases, the best way to prepare for these tests
is to pay close attention in class and take every opportunity to improve
your mathematical, reading, and writing skills.

Tips For Taking The Test


Throughout the year
– Keep up with your homework. Homework is important practice that
will help you learn the skills you need for the test. Practice will also
help you answer questions more quickly, leaving more time for the
difficult questions.

– Review your notes, homework, and tests on a regular basis to make


sure that you maintain the skills you learned earlier in the year.

– Use flashcards to learn important formulas and vocabulary words.


If you can, memorize formulas to save time on the test.

– Familiarize yourself with the format and content of the test.

– Make a timeline for reviewing materials in the time leading up to the


test. Do not try to “cram” the night before the test.

– Practice without your calculator, because you will not be allowed to


use a calculator on the test.

Before the test


– Be sure you are well rested.

– Eat a good breakfast.

– Be on time, and be sure that you have the necessary materials.

– Be sure to bring any assistive device that you need, such as glasses
or a hearing aid.

– Try not to miss class the day before the test. Your teacher may be
reviewing important content.

Grade6_Front Matter.indd vii 4/17/07 11:29:38 AM


During the Test
– Listen to the instructions of the teacher. It’s easy to miss important
points that can affect your score.

– Read the directions carefully. If you do not understand a direction,


raise your hand and ask for clarification immediately.

– Use your scratch paper. You are more likely to make a mistake when
doing a problem in your head. You can also use your written work
to help check your answer. Circle the answer and write the problem
number next to your work so you can find it while you are reviewing
your test.

– Read the entire question, including all answer choices, and think
about your answer before you make any marks on the answer sheet.

– Fill in the circle for each answer carefully and completely. Erase any
stray marks on the page. If you change an answer choice, be sure to
erase completely and carefully so that you do not tear a hole in the
answer sheet.

– Make sure the number on the answer document matches the


question number in the test booklet.

– Don’t spend too much time on any one question. If you cannot
answer a question right away, fill in your best choice. If you have time
at the end of the test, return to any questions you are unsure of.

– If questions contain negative wording such as NOT, read them


carefully and be alert for the use of double negatives within a
sentence.

– Understand the format of the test so that you can gauge your time
according to what section of the test you are taking.

– If you finish early, review the test and make sure the answer sheet
is filled out correctly. Remember, your first answer is usually the
correct one, so don’t change an answer unless you can convince
yourself that your original choice is wrong. Try solving the problem in
a different way to see if you get the same answer.

– DON’T STRESS! Just remember what you have learned in class, and
you should do well.

Grade6_Front Matter.indd viii 4/17/07 11:29:38 AM


Tips for Answering Multiple-Choice Questions
– If there is a figure accompanying the question, review the figure
carefully. Read the labels and make sure you understand what the
figure represents. Remember, a figure may not be drawn to scale.

– If there is not a figure, it may be helpful to draw one on your scratch


paper using the information provided.

– Read the multiple-choice question first for its general intent and
then reread it carefully, looking for words that give clues or can limit
possible answers to the question.

– If possible, work the question before looking at the answer choices.


Then look for your answer among the given choices. If your answer
is not one of the choices, read the question again. Be sure that you
understand the problem. Remember, common errors are often used
to generate incorrect answer choices. Be sure you work carefully.

– Make sure you answer the question being asked. A partial answer to
the question may be used as an incorrect answer choice.

– Always read all of the possible answer choices—even if the first one
seems like the correct answer. There may be a better choice farther
down in the list.

– Think of what you already know about the math topic involved and
use that information to help eliminate answer choices. You can also
use estimation to eliminate answer choices.

– If you cannot work the question, you may be able to substitute the
answer choices back into the question to find the correct choice.
Start with the middle value. If the result is too large, then substitute a
smaller value. If the result is too small, then substitute a larger value.

– Never leave a question blank. There is no penalty for guessing, so


always choose an answer.

– When you are finished, reread the question and the selected answer
to be sure that you made the best choice and that you marked it
correctly on the answer sheet.

Strategies for Success
There are various strategies you can employ ahead of time to help you
feel more confident about answering questions on math standardized
tests. Here are a few suggestions:

1. VISUALS
Note the labels on the charts and graphs. For example, a scale on one
axis may provide a valuable clue. Read all graphs twice.

When reading diagrams, read all labels and tick marks carefully, and
read diagrams twice, also.

Label the figure with any information stated in the problem that is not
in the diagram. Use the properties of the figure, for example, if it is
stated that a figure is a square, you can label all the sides with the same
length.

If a figure is not provided, it may be helpful to draw one. Be sure that


you do not assume any information that is not included in the problem.
Remember, the figure does not have to look perfect. It is only to help
you understand the relationships in the problem.

2. CONCEPTS
When answering questions about math concepts, don’t let a hard
question stump you. You can always work with what you do know. It’s
possible to answer a question when you know only a part of the concept
being tested.

Another strategy to help you on difficult questions is to draw or sketch


out the question’s concept. Often you can understand how to answer
a question by listing what you know, sketching the process, and then
identifying what you are supposed to solve.

If you do not understand a problem on the test, try to relate it to a


problem you can solve. For example, you can substitute simpler
numbers into a problem and figure out how to solve it. Then try again
with the original values in the problem.

Grade6_Front Matter.indd x 4/17/07 11:29:39 AM


3. MATH SKILLS
To help you on the math sections of the tests, practice the skills as you
are reading and discussing your textbook. For example, you could put
the steps to a process in order in your mind. Also, sequencing a process
can become a game you play with a friend who also has to take the test.
Always ask yourself what the most important points are when studying
sections. Some of the more common skills for studying math are

• Analyzing Information—the process of breaking something down


into its parts and examining the relationships between them. Analyzing
enables you to better understand the whole.

• Sequencing—the process of placing the steps in a process in order


to better understand the steps and the process as a whole. When
you analyze the sequence, you are determining what happens first,
second, and so on.

• Categorizing—the process by which you group things together by the


characteristics they have in common. Categorizing helps you to make
comparisons and see differences among things.

• Identifying Cause and Effect—interpreting the relationships between


events. A cause makes something happen. An effect is what happens
as a result of the cause.

• Comparing and Contrasting—the process of examining situations or


ideas, etc., for their similarities and differences.

• Summarizing—the process of taking a large amount of information


and boiling it down into a short clear statement. To summarize a
problem, you must analyze the problem to find the most important
points and the supporting information.

• Paraphrasing—a paraphrase is a restatement of someone’s ideas or


words. A paraphrase is usually about as long as the original; the ideas
are just expressed in simpler terms. A paraphrase question might be
stated like this, “According to the passage, which of these statements
is accurate?”

• Visualizing—visualizing helps you see processes and procedures in


your mind’s eye. Visualizing will help you be successful on a variety of
math questions you could encounter on tests.

Grade6_Front Matter.indd xi 4/17/07 11:29:39 AM


4. READING MATH
First, remember that what you have learned about math can help you in
answering comprehension questions on tests. Also, though, remember
the following points:

• Read the problem as if you were not taking a test.

• Look at the big picture. Ask yourself questions like, What is the
question being asked? What do the diagrams or graphs tell me?

• Read the problem quickly first. This technique will help you know what
information to look for as you read.

• Reread the problem and underline information related to the


questions.

• Go back to the question and try to answer it in your mind before


looking at the answers.

• Read all the answer choices and eliminate the ones that are obviously
incorrect.

• If you can eliminate certain answers, getting the choice down to two,
go ahead and pick one of the two responses. That’s an educated
guess, and you are most likely better off making the choice.

Grade6_Front Matter.indd xii 4/17/07 11:29:39 AM


Analyzing Word Problems
Many students who are comfortable with basic skill problems are still
stumped by word problems. These steps will help you work through
word problems on standardized tests.

Step 1 Understand the problem


Read the problem carefully and make sure you understand what is
being asked. You may wish to rewrite the question in your own words.

List the given information or circle it in your test booklet, if you are
allowed to write in it. Cross out any unnecessary information.

Step 2 Make a plan


Think about similar problems you have seen in the past, and how you
solved them.

Determine a strategy or strategies that you will use to solve the problem,
such as drawing a diagram, working backward, finding a pattern, or
other problem-solving strategies.

Step 3 Solve the problem


Solve the problem according to your plan. If the strategy you chose is
not working, go back and revise. Write out all the steps on your scratch
paper to avoid making careless mistakes.

Step 4 Look Back


Make sure you answered the question that was asked.

Check your answer in the words of the problem to make sure your
answer is reasonable.

Make sure your answer is in the correct place on the answer document.

Learning Math Vocabulary
Learning vocabulary is important in order to be successful on
standardized tests. During the test, you will not be able to ask the
meaning of a word, and you may not be able to answer a question
that contains a word you do not know.

Spend time learning vocabulary throughout the year so that you are
prepared for your test when the time comes.

Identify important terms:


As you learn new concepts, keep a list of unfamiliar terms. Also, review
the standards for your grade and write down any words you do not
know.

Learn the meaning of each term:


Look up the meaning of each new word in your glossary. It may help
to use the Vocabulary Questioning Strategies shown on the next page.
Another way to learn vocabulary is by using graphic organizers like the
ones shown below.

Term
Definition Characteristic

Word Definition

Example Nonexample Example Example Example

Memory aids:
Your lists of words may be used as memory aids, or it may be helpful
to create flashcards with the term on the front and the definition and/or
examples on the back. Review the flashcards frequently. As you learn
the words, you may remove the flashcards from your stack, but keep
them for occasional review before your exam.

Use context clues:


If you do encounter an unfamiliar word on your test, don’t panic. Try to
relate it to a familiar word or use context clues to determine the meaning
of the word in the problem.

Grade6_Front Matter.indd xiv 4/17/07 11:29:40 AM


Vocabulary Questioning Strategies

Vocabulary term

Before you look up the word, predict its meaning. Some clues you can
use are as follows:
• the way you have seen or heard the word used
• the everyday meaning of the word
• the meaning of the root word, prefix, or suffix

I think this word means

Look up the word in your glossary, and write its meaning here.

Write a question in your own words that contains the vocabulary term,
and write the answer.

Question:

Answer:

Think of a strategy to remember the meaning of the word. Some


possible strategies are as follows: draw a picture that represents the
word, write a poem or song about the word, or relate the math meaning
to the everyday meaning of the word. Write your strategy here.

Math Anxiety
Math anxiety is a term used to describe fear and negative attitudes
about working with numbers and taking math tests. Here are some
suggestions to help alleviate math anxiety.

– Motivate yourself to learn math. Math class can be challenging, but


it also has many rewards. Mathematics is a useful tool with a wide
range of applications in nearly every field, as well as everyday life.

– Talk to your teacher about your anxiety. He or she may have


suggestions or be able to help in other ways.

– Go to class every day! Research shows a strong correlation


between attendance and math grades. Attending class should
be a high priority.

– Make the most of your class time. Warm up for class by looking over
the previous day’s notes and homework. Write out any questions you
have. If possible, read ahead in the text. Be alert and attentive. You
won’t get much benefit out of sleeping through class.

– Ask questions in class. If you just decide you can figure something
out later, you may not understand the rest of the lecture, and fall
further behind. Most often others will have the same question.

– Develop a note-taking system. If you are too busy writing every


word the teacher says, you will not have time to comprehend much.
Use abbreviations and shorthand during class, and re-work or
re-write your notes soon after class to make sure you understand
what was said.

– Do your homework as soon after class as possible. The longer you


wait, the more you may forget. If you get behind, you will have a
harder time understanding further material, and you may become
frustrated.

Grade6_Front Matter.indd xvi 4/17/07 11:29:40 AM


– Find a study partner or group to work with. This will make math a
more comfortable activity, maybe even fun!

– Find a place you are comfortable studying, where there are few
distractions. If you have a certain place set aside for studying, you
will find it easier to get into the right frame of mind to study there.

– Take breaks while studying. The mind works best in short periods of
time, between 20 and 45 minutes. When you can’t concentrate, take
5–10 minutes to walk around, stretch, or have a snack, then return to
your work refreshed.

– Get help when you are stuck. Don’t agonize for hours, ask your
teacher, a tutor, a classmate, or a friend for help.

– Make a vocabulary list and a formula list. Use flashcards to memorize


definitions and formulas. Remember, math is like a foreign language.
You can’t speak it if you don’t know the words.

– To solidify your understanding, after you have done your homework,


try the following:
Check your answers against the answers in the back of the book.
Do some extra problems from the book in areas you had trouble.
Make up some practice problems and work them.
Write out a general step-by-step procedure for solving each type
of problem.

– Learn relaxation techniques and practice them before the test so that
if you get frustrated you will be able to relax during the test.

– Learn more about math anxiety in books or on the Internet. Many


people have math anxiety, and there are a lot of resources out there.

Troubleshooting
Taking practice tests can be helpful, but you will get more out of them
if you analyze the tests after they have been scored to see where you
made mistakes. Look at the table below to see some common types of
mistakes. Use the blank rows to add in your own types with how you
can avoid them in the future.
