9 questions — area, perimeter, volume, statistics (mean/median/mode), probability, and graph reading.
A teacher asks students to estimate the weight of a standard hardcover textbook. Which estimate is most reasonable?
Geometry, Measurement and Data Analysis makes up 18 of the 36 Math questions (50%) on ETS 5759. The geometry and measurement topics tested are: measurement of time, liquid volumes, and masses using standard units; lengths, volumes, and masses in US Customary (feet, pounds, gallons) and Metric (meters, kilograms, liters) units; unit conversion within a measurement system (feet to inches, kilometers to meters); properties of 2D geometric shapes (triangles, rectangles, regular polygons); perimeter, area, surface area, and volume; the XY-coordinate plane; and geometric word problems. Data analysis topics include single-variable data, two-variable data (bar charts, line graphs, circle graphs, pictographs), and mean, median, mode, and range.
ETS does not provide a formula sheet on the ParaPathways exam. You need to know: area of a rectangle (length × width), area of a triangle (½ × base × height), perimeter of a rectangle (2 × length + 2 × width), circumference of a circle (2πr, where π ≈ 3.14), area of a circle (πr²), and volume of a rectangular prism (length × width × height). The on-screen calculator handles all the arithmetic — you supply the correct formula. For unit conversion, know that 1 foot = 12 inches, 1 yard = 3 feet, 1 mile = 5,280 feet, 1 kilogram = 1,000 grams, and 1 kilometer = 1,000 meters.
