Mathematics: Math SAT Terms
 Directions: In your math section of your
notebook take not of the following terms
and their meanings.

Odd/Even Operations
There are rules:
Odd number + Even
number =
Odd number ALWAYS.
Odd + Odd = Even
Even + Even = Even
But it’s easier to remember
by
using any even or odd number
3 + 2 = 5 (odd number)
3 + 1 = 4 (even number)
2 + 2 = 4 (even number)
SAME IDEA, but not same
results for multiplication:
3 • 2 = 6 (even number)
3 • 1 = 3 (odd number)
2 • 2 = 4 (even number)
SAT often combines several of
the above rules:
(odd+odd+even) • odd
Use any even and any odd
number to determine if
result
is always even or odd:
( 3 + 3 + 2 ) • 3 = 24
(even)
Multiplying Positive and
Negative Numbers
a•b•c•d
All Positive→Always Positive
All Negative is not always
negative since two or any
EVEN number of negative
numbers CANCEL each
other’s negativity out. If ALL
a, b, c, and d are negative, the
product is positive.
-1 • -1 • -1 • -1 is POSITIVE
ONE Negative number or any
other ODD number of
negatives → Negative
Dividing is the same as
multiplication.
The SAT often has these
positive/negative questions
backwards. If the result of
a • b• c • d is negative then?
(one OR three of a, b, c, d is
negative)
Directions: On the writing section of your notebook, you will have a
daily prompt each prompt must increase a paragraph per day. For
example: Monday 1 paragraph Tuesday 2 paragraph and so on. Make
sure to write on top your start time and end time. Do not exceed the
amount of paragraphs your suppose to do per day.

The start time and end time will help you monitor how long
it takes you to write. Remember in the SAT you have 25
min to write an essay.
