NES 203 Middle Grades Mathematics 5hr Study and Test

315 minutes ( 15 minutes preparation, 300 or 5 hours testing time).

150 questions.  Feb 24, 2022.  Test location: Step Computer Academy.  Must wait 30 days from the original test to retake the exam. When registering it, you have one year time to actually take the test. 在一年之内都可以考。I get my test result immediately, 255.

我没有好好准备。The test name, Middle Grade Mathematics, is misleading. I thought it is basically arithmetic questions. But it is not. 

1. Many probability and statistics questions, venn diagram. 

2. Many measurements, for example, one work take 3 people 6 hours to finish. One spend XXXX seconds, one spend 1.86 hours, the third spend 2 hours 45 minutes and 5 seconds. 运算量很大。

3. Many transformation questions.

4. Test asymptote . Not prepare for it. 




Geometric transformation (e. g Sildes, flip, turn)

Mean, Median, Mode

Extraneous information

inductive or deductive reasoning

Scale problem: distance between two locaton on map.     

y = ax + b  (Equivalen fraction,  measurement problme,   property of 1) 

浓缩一个公式, Basic Number Skills, p 97 Fraction addition and subtraction, why they need common demoninators?

The concept of equality

SAT Subject Math 1 Practice Diary

12/17/2021  SAT  Practice Diary 

Finish eight pracices. Over 80% is kind of linear equation in all sorts of disguise. 

multiple choices 对解题有很大的帮助。这道题我先算成  79/200, should be 79 / 164,   164 = 200 - 15-31.



11/5/2021  SAT Subject Math 1 Practice Diary

  • Abandon preparation for AP computer test ( principle and Java)
  • Studying NES 203 (middle school math)
  • Dong SAT Math Subject 1 practice
*****Question 2: 我怎么没有想 Arithematic sequence 是线性 linear equation.

Officical Practic 1
 注意raw score 不是做对题的数目,要减去错的题数 ×0.25。做对38道题,做错12道题。
38 - 12 ×0.25 = 35,     分数650. 。几乎都是粗心。也是很久不做题了

Officical Practic 2
做对45道题,做错5道题。
45 - 5×0.25 = 44,     分数740。是粗心。

Officical Practic 3
做对46道题,做错4道题。
46 - 4×0.25 = 45,     分数750。

Officical Practic 4
做对47道题,做错3道题。
47 - 3×0.25 = 46,     分数770。

Kaplan SAT Subject Test Mathematics Level 1 : 2015-2016
i and (-i), see Q38

Errors: Q18, 35, 42, 46, 49. 做对45道题,做错5道题
45 - 5×0.25 = 44,     分数730。

线性方程人人会解。这是在考阅读理解还是线性方程?所以,学生数学差是两方面的 ,literature and math


Wednesday, December 15, 2021

Exponential function, geometric series

Exponential function, geometric series, 2, 4, 8, 16, y = 2x 指数函数, 等比级数

arithmetic series. 等差级数  2 + 2 + 2 + 2,   y = ax + b, y = 2x + 2,线性方程




Use Calculator to solve the problem

 我想AVERY如何解题。最后想到可以 Calculator 用解题。


Base is 7, Twice

 







Line, Tanget line, derivative

A tangent line is a straight line that touches a function at only one point. ... The tangent line represents the instantaneous rate of change of the function at that one point. The slope of the tangent line at a point on the function is equal to the derivative of the function at the same point 

https://clas.sa.ucsb.edu/staff/lee/secant,%20tangent,%20and%20derivatives.htm


When I think of a tangent line, I am kind of overthinking. I didn't notice y = c, it must be a horizontal line. So I try to draw a tangent line at any point. It is difficult. Then, I notice it is y = c. Everything becomes easy. 




如果想成直线该如何做
