Praxis Elem CKT Math study plan

Diagnose baseline strengths and gaps by completing a timed 40-question mixed practice set and logging every miss by content strand

Build a personal error log template that records strand, error type (procedural, conceptual, misread), and corrective rule for each miss

Relearn place-value and whole-number operations (multi-digit addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, regrouping) and explain the standard algorithm for each in writing

Solve 20 order-of-operations and estimation problems without a calculator, then verify each answer with a second method

Master fraction concepts: equivalence, comparison, simplification, and the four operations on fractions and mixed numbers

Connect fraction division to the invert-and-multiply rule by writing a word problem that models why it works

Convert fluently among fractions, decimals, and percents and order a mixed set of 10 values without a calculator

Explain two common elementary misconceptions about fractions and describe an instructional response to each

Apply ratio, rate, unit rate, and proportional reasoning to solve multi-step word problems

Distinguish part-part from part-whole relationships and set up proportions correctly for each

Solve percent change, discount, tax, and simple interest problems using two different strategies

Identify the operation and reasoning a word problem requires before computing, using a read-plan-solve-check routine

Translate verbal expressions and equations into algebraic notation and solve one- and two-step linear equations

Interpret and apply the properties of operations (commutative, associative, distributive, identity, inverse) with numeric examples

Generate and extend numeric and geometric patterns, then write a rule for the nth term of a simple sequence

Graph ordered pairs on a coordinate plane and describe the relationship shown by a linear pattern

Compute perimeter, area, surface area, and volume for rectangles, triangles, circles, and rectangular prisms using correct units

Convert within the customary and metric systems and justify each conversion factor used

Classify two- and three-dimensional figures by defining attributes and identify lines of symmetry

Solve measurement word problems involving elapsed time, money, and unit conversion

Compute mean, median, mode, and range for data sets and choose the appropriate measure for a given context

Read and interpret bar graphs, line plots, histograms, and circle graphs, and identify misleading representations

Determine the probability of simple and compound events and express results as fractions, decimals, and percents

Design a short data-collection scenario and justify which display and summary statistic best represent the results

Explain the mathematical reasoning behind standard elementary procedures so you can justify steps rather than only execute them

Anticipate and diagnose three common student errors in whole-number and fraction computation, and script a corrective question for each

Select and sequence representations (manipulatives, number lines, arrays, diagrams) that build understanding of a target concept

Write a short constructed response that shows work, states reasoning, and answers the question asked

Complete two full-length timed practice tests under exam conditions and compare strand-level results to your week 1 baseline

Rework every missed item from both tests to a correct, fully explained solution

Drill your three weakest strands with 15 targeted problems each until accuracy reaches 90 percent

Finalize a test-day plan covering timing per question, calculator policy, and the strategy for flagging and returning to hard items
