MTTC Elementary Exam (103): Mathematics
100% Solved
Objective 1 Correct Answer-Apply a variety of approaches to interpret and solve mathematical
problems in real-world contexts
Key to finding solutions Correct Answer-Guess and check; making a sketch or a picture; make a
table or a chart; making a list; act it out; look for patterns; writing an open math sentence; work
backward
Guess and Check Correct Answer-Make your best guess, then check the answer to see whether it's
right. Includes many variations.
Making a sketch or a picture Correct Answer-Draw an image
Make a table or a chart Correct Answer-Organizing information from a problem
Makin a list Correct Answer-Organizing information from a problem
Act it out Correct Answer-Literally "doing" a problem with physical movement and physical objects
, MTTC Elementary Exam (103): Mathematics
100% Solved
Look for patterns Correct Answer-Ask "what's happening here?"
Writing an open math sentence Correct Answer-An equation with one or more variables, or
"unknowns".
Work backward Correct Answer-Start with answer, figure out problem.
Reasonableness Correct Answer-Attention to reasonableness may be most crucial to problem-
solving success
Objective 2 Correct Answer-Understand mathematical communication and use mathematical
technology, symbols, and representations to communicate information.
Mathematics Correct Answer-For the most part, a science of precision.
Negative numbers Correct Answer-Those less than zero. Fractions less than zero are negative
numbers too.

100% Solved
Absolute value Correct Answer-Can be thought of as its distance from zero on a number line.
Counting numbers Correct Answer-Can be shown by the set (1, 2, 3, 4, . . .). Notice that 0 is not a
counting number.
Whole numbers Correct Answer-Counting numbers, including 0
Integers Correct Answer-Whole numbers and their negative counterparts
Factors Correct Answer-Any of the numbers or symbols in mathematics that, when multiplied
together, form a product.
Prime Number Correct Answer-A number with exactly two whole number factors (1 and the
number itself).
Composite numbers Correct Answer-Whole numbers composed of several whole number factors.
1 Correct Answer-Neither a prime or composite number - it only has one whole number factor
