Mathematics Section
Mathematics on the CHSPE covers skills that are traditionally associated with day-to-day activities, rather than higher mathematics. Questions range from basic skills such as making change, calculating tips, and balancing checkbooks to basic probability, algebra, logic, and geometry. This corresponds to seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth grade level mathematics taught in California public schools.
