Chapter 8 Math Test Study Guide

These are the concepts that your child must know. They must be able to use these concepts/skills and apply them to word problems.

Students were already given the Ch. 8 “SBAC” Practice Test. These prepare us for SBAC testing in April/May, but they are much more rigorous than chapter tests.

Your child will be taking Illuminate tests which reflect SBAC type questions.

See pictures below for Illuminate question practice

Skills that they must have mastered for this chapter:

*Equivalent Fractions: Recognizing and finding them

Example: 2/3 = ____4/6__________ 1/2 = ________3/6_________

*Factors and Multiples

Example: Is 51 a multiple of 3? _________ Is 4 a factor of 60? __________

*Prime and Composite Numbers

Prime numbers only have two factors: 1 and itself; Composite Numbers have more than 2 factors

0 and 1 are neither prime nor composite

*Simplest Form

Example 4/10 = 2/5 in simplest form

*How to compare and order fractions

Example: Which is larger, 5/8 or 9/11?

Put in order from smallest to largest: 3/5, 1/3, 2/9

*Mixed number and Improper Fractions

Examples: 2 ½ = 5/2

13/4 = 3 1/4

*Great practice/review pages: chapter review and videos/games/practice handouts on your My Math account.
