Essential Math Skills

Mathematics in the HiSET covers a range of topics, including arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and basic statistics. Understanding these fundamentals is key to solving problems efficiently.

Types of Questions

  • Arithmetic: Fractions, decimals, percentages, and ratios.
  • Algebra: Solving equations, working with variables.
  • Geometry: Shapes, area, volume, and the Pythagorean theorem.
  • Data Analysis: Reading charts, graphs, and performing basic calculations.

How to Approach Math Questions

  • Break down complex problems into smaller steps.
  • Use estimation to check answers.
  • Practice mental math for speed.

Example Formula

The Pythagorean theorem is often used: \( a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \)

Examples

  • Solving for x in the equation \( 3x + 5 = 20 \).

  • Finding the area of a rectangle with length 5 and width 3.
