Preparing for Tests and Exams
MATHPOWER™ 10, Ontario Edition
You will be prepared for writing tests and exams, if you
• develop good work habits in class and use class time productively
• do your homework every day
• seek help when you first become confused
The most important step in studying for a test or an exam is not one you can do the night before.
It is staying on top of things right from the start.
When you are informed of a test or exam, you should find out all the specifics.
1. Circle the letter of each thing that you find out about a test or exam when you are informed
of it. Place an X beside the letter of each thing you are going to start to find out about.
a) exact date, time, and location
b) exact content to be covered
c) time allowed for it
d) format — true/false, multiple choice, fill in the blanks, full solutions, combination
e) resources that I should have with me and know how to use, such as a calculator
f) value of it, relative to all tests, assignments, projects, and exams
g) resources available to help me study
2. Circle the letter of each resource that you have used in the past to prepare for Math tests and
exams. Place an X beside the letter of each resource you would like to try in the future.
a) my notes
b) Examples and Solutions in my textbook
c) Achievement Check Review, and Chapter Test sections in my textbook
d) Cumulative Review sections in my textbook
e) MATHPOWER™ 10, Ontario Edition, Self-Check Assessment Masters
f) teacher-provided old or sample tests or exams
g) a study group or partner
h) others ___________________________________________________________________________
The amount of time you need to study depends upon
• how well you have already prepared by keeping on top of things, that is, your existing
knowledge base
• the amount of material to be covered
Focus your time on the important concepts and skills, and on what you are less confident about.
Studying is a cyclical process. Review the material that is to be tested. Then, test yourself using
the Self-Check Assessment Master that you can get from your teacher for the appropriate chapter. Next, check your results using the Answers to the Self-Check, which you can also get from
your teacher. Then, for any question you got wrong, use the table on the second page of the SelfCheck to identify the textbook section and the specific worked example. Review the example and
try the question again.

Problem
At a handball tournament, 63 games were played. Each competitor played each of the other
competitors three times. How many competitors were there?
Understand
the Problem
Answer the following questions in your notebook.
Understand the Problem
1. How many games would have been played if each competitor played each
of the other competitors only once?
2. Explain how answering question 1 allows you to proceed with solving the
problem.
Think of a Plan
Consider just one game between competitors.
Try a simpler problem, draw diagrams, and look for a pattern.

5. Think about how the number of competitors is related to the number of
games.
2 to 1
3 to 3
4 to 6
5 to 10
Ask yourself:
a) Is some value being added to, subtracted from, multiplied by, or divided
into the number of competitors to get the number of games?
b) Have I seen this relationship before?
c) If I consider the number of competitors to the number of games to be
2 to 2
3 to 6
4 to 12
5 to 20
I could return to the actual second terms by dividing by 2 or multiplying by 1–.

How does this help?
6. What is the relationship?
7. Using the relationship, determine how many competitors play 21 games
with each competitor playing each of the others once (or 63 games with each
competitor playing each of the others three times).
8. Write a final statement to answer the original question.
Look Back

Solving Word Problems
MATHPOWER™ 10, Ontario Edition
Almost every time you learn a new Math skill, you have opportunities to use it in applied situations.
When you learned to solve equations like the following, you were also presented with problems
that required creating and solving an equation from given information.
3x = 8(x – 5)
3x = 8x – 40
–5x = –40
x=8
Problem
Plane 1 flew from Calgary to Montreal at 750 km/h. Plane 2 flew the same route at 600 km/h
and took an hour longer. What is the flying distance from Calgary to Montreal?
This problem is presented to you after you have learned to solve rational equations. It is reasonable to expect that you should create and solve an equation from the information given in order
to solve the problem.
In this problem, you will need to use the relationship: distance = speed × time. This table showing the known values can help you get organized.

Polynomials
A monomial is a polynomial of one term. The degree of a monomial is the
sum of the exponents of its variables. For example, 4a2b3 has degree 5.
A binomial is a polynomial of two terms, and a trinomial has three terms.
The degree of a polynomial in one variable is the highest power of the
variable. For example, 2x3 – 7x has degree 3.
The degree of a polynomial in two or more variables is the greatest sum of
the exponents in any one term. For example, 5m3n + m2n – mn2 has degree 4.

An equation is like a balanced scale.
By adding or subtracting the same amount from each side of a balanced scale
or an equation, the equality is maintained.
To solve an equation, isolate the variable on one side of the equation by adding
or subtracting the same amount from both sides of the equation.
To represent x as a variable, draw

A dilatation is a transformation that changes the size of an object.
Dilatations are called enlargements or reductions, depending on the
way in which the size is changed.
Line m is a dilatation of line n with dilatation centre (0, 0) and a scale
factor of 2. This dilatation is described mathematically as the mapping
(x, y) → (2x, 2y).

40. Negative bases that are multiplied an odd
number of times give a negative answer.
41. a) (–2)4 = (–2)(–2)(–2)(–2), which equals 16.
–24 = –(2)(2)(2)(2), which equals –16.
b) ((–3)2)3 = (–3)2(–3)2(–3)2 or (–3)6, which equals 729.
–36 = –(3)(3)(3)(3)(3)(3), which equals –729.
Exponent Rules III
1. a) Multiply the coefficients and add the exponents
of the variable, for example, (5n)(2n2) = 10n3.
b) Multiply the coefficients and combine like
variables using the exponent laws, for example,
