Preparing for Pre-Employment Math Testing
Objectives
Time frame to Complete
1. Students will become familiar with different types of
90 minutes
math problems
2. Students will demonstrate knowledge of math word
problems
Standard(s) Addressed in Lesson
Using Math to Solve Problems and Communicate
Benchmark(s) Addressed in Lesson
M.4.2; M.4.3; M.4.25; M.4.28; M. 4.34; M.4.35
Materials
• Information handout
• Sample problems (two handouts) based on math concepts in real life settings (answer keys provided)
• Scrap paper
• Pencils
Activities
Step 1
Introduce students to the concept of reading word problems for meaning. Distribute handout #1 with
information on keywords for the four basic math operations plus the five step word problem solving process.
Step 2 Using handout #2 (sample word problems, go over locating key words and key information to solve the
five problems presented.) Do these problems on the board.
Step 3
Distribute handout #3 and ask the students to solve the problems independently (Handout #3 has
sample questions based on the U.S. Census Bureau Practice Test for field employees). Once students have
completed the problems go over the answer orally.
Assessment/Evidence
Handout #2 and #3 contain math practice problems to assess students’ understanding of solving math problems
based on real life settings.
Adaptations for Beginning Students
Beginning students may need to go over the information contained in handout #1 on keywords for solving the four
basic math operations. Instructors may need to present examples of practice problems on the board. Beginning
students may need to check their work with calculator.
Adaptations for Advanced Students
Advanced students should be doing the practice problems from handout #2 and #3 with speed and accuracy.
These students should not need to use a calculator to complete the problems.
