SSAT MIDDLE LEVEL MATH. RONAN
MODE - answer The most frequently occurring number
USE YOUR ANSWERS - answer Whenever you are stuck, let the answers choices help
you. Often you can plug them in and see which one works!
Range - answer The greatest value minus the smallest value
SSAT Special Functions
(weird symbol problems - think Batman!) - answer Don’t panic! They will define the
function for you. All you have to do is plug in the numbers for the variables.
Ex: a £ = a + 5
What is the value of 6 £ ?
6 £ = (6) + 5
6 £ = 11
The 6 is in the place of the x, so all you have to do is replace the x with the number 6
and solve.
Average (also called "mean" or "arithmetic mean") - answerAverage = SUM / number of
things
Volume - answerLength x width x height
Ex: If a box has a length, width, and height all of 2 inches, what is the volume?
(2)(2)(2) = 8
Integer - answerPositive or negative whole number
Graphs / Data Tables - answerTAKE YOUR TIME.
1) Ignore answer choices
2) Look at x and y axes. What does each measure?
3) What kind of data is being shown? What conclusions can you draw?
Area of a Triangle - answer1/2 base x height
Median - answerMiddle number when numbers are ordered from least to greatest
Factor - answerEx: factors of 10 are 1,2,5,10
