Praxis Math

Praxis Mathematics examination for teacher certification.

Basic Concepts

Geometry and Measurement

Shapes, Space, and Size

Geometry deals with the properties of shapes and spaces, while measurement helps us quantify length, area, volume, and angles.

Types of Shapes

From triangles and rectangles to circles, each shape has unique properties. Understanding these is key for both math problems and real-world tasks.

Measuring Up

Learn to measure perimeter (distance around), area (surface covered), and volume (space inside).

Angles and Lines

Recognize different types of angles (acute, right, obtuse) and lines (parallel, perpendicular).

Real-Life Applications

Geometry and measurement play a role in designing buildings, creating art, or even packing a suitcase efficiently!

Examples

  • Finding the area of a rectangle: \( 5 , \text{cm} \times 3 , \text{cm} = 15 , \text{cm}^2 \).

  • Measuring the angle of a ramp to ensure it is safe for bicycles.

In a Nutshell

Geometry and measurement help us understand and quantify the world around us.
