Math Fundamentals for SSAT

Math Skills You’ll Need

The SSAT math sections test your understanding of basic arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and data analysis. Don't worry—these are all topics you’ve learned in school!

Arithmetic

Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, and decimals are the building blocks.

Algebra

You’ll see problems involving simple equations, variables, and order of operations.

Geometry

Understand properties of shapes, perimeter, area, and volume.

Data Analysis

Read and interpret charts, tables, and graphs.

Practice Makes Perfect

Working through practice problems helps solidify your understanding and prepares you for test day.

Key Formula

\[A = l \times w\]

Examples

  • Solving for x: If 2x + 3 = 11, then x = 4.

  • Finding the area of a rectangle with length 5 and width 3: \(A = 5 \times 3 = 15\).
