What These SSAT Elementary Level Math Flashcards Cover
This free deck collects the formulas, key terms, and concepts students use across the whole SSAT Elementary Level Math course, organized into 9 topics. Use the dropdown to study one topic at a time, or shuffle the full deck for mixed review before a test.
12 cards. Integers, real numbers, absolute value, factors and primes, GCF and LCM, order of operations, the distributive property, and factorials.
Fractions & Percents
8 cards. Converting mixed numbers and improper fractions, adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing fractions, percent of a number, percent of change, and fraction, decimal, and percent conversions.
Ratios & Proportions
5 cards. Ratios, proportions, unit conversions, simple interest, and average speed.
Exponents & Roots
9 cards. The exponent rules, including product, quotient, power, zero, negative, and fractional exponents, plus square roots, simplifying radicals, and scientific notation.
Algebra
14 cards. Variables and expressions, solving one and two step equations, combining like terms, FOIL and special products, factoring, the quadratic formula, systems, and inequalities.
Coordinate Geometry
6 cards. Slope, slope-intercept and point-slope form, the distance and midpoint formulas, and parallel and perpendicular lines.
Geometry
17 cards. Area, perimeter, and volume formulas for common shapes, the Pythagorean theorem and triples, angle rules, and polygon interior angles.
Data & Probability
8 cards. Mean, median, mode, and range, the probability of an event, the probability of A and B, the counting principle, and finding a missing value from a mean.
Test Facts
3 cards. Quick facts about the SSAT Elementary Level Math test, the math question types, and the calculator policy.
How to Use These SSAT Elementary Level Math Flashcards
1
Pick one topic
Use the topic dropdown instead of facing all 82 cards at once. Start with the topics you find hardest.
2
Flip, then mark
Read the front, say the rule or definition out loud, then flip. Mark Know it only when you can explain it, not just recognize it.
3
Practice right away
After a set, solve a few problems that use those rules. Flashcards build recall; worked practice turns them into test-day tools.
Best Order for Studying
If the deck feels like a lot, study the foundational topics first, such as numbers, fractions and percents, and exponents, then move on to algebra, geometry, and data, and review the test facts last. This moves from the skills every other topic builds on to the ones that appear in specific problem types.
Most Important Formulas and Facts to Know First
Order of operations: the sequence that keeps every calculation consistent.
Exponent rules: product, quotient, power, zero, and negative exponents.
Fraction operations: and converting between fractions, decimals, and percents.
Percent of a number and percent of change: the backbone of word problems.
Slope and slope-intercept form: for reading and writing linear graphs.
Area, perimeter, and volume: the core geometry formulas.
The Pythagorean theorem: for right triangles and distance.
Factoring and the quadratic formula: for solving quadratics.
Mean, median, mode, and range: the four measures that summarize data.
Probability of an event: favorable outcomes over total outcomes.
Common Mistakes These Cards Help Fix
Ignoring order of operations and simply working left to right.
Adding or subtracting fractions without a common denominator.
Confusing area with perimeter, or surface area with volume.
Flipping an inequality sign at the wrong time, instead of only when multiplying or dividing by a negative.
Mixing up mean, median, and mode.
Treating a negative exponent as a negative number instead of a reciprocal.
Applying the Pythagorean theorem to triangles that are not right triangles.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is on the SSAT Elementary Level test?
The SSAT Elementary Level, for students applying to grades 4 and 5, includes a quantitative (math) section, a verbal section, a reading section, an unscored writing sample, and a short experimental section. The math covers number sense, basic operations, fractions, simple geometry, measurement, and patterns. Calculators are not allowed, so quick fact recall matters.
Is there an SSAT Elementary Level practice test?
Yes. The Enrollment Management Association, which runs the SSAT, offers an official Elementary Level practice guide and online practice, and other practice tests are available too. After a practice test, sort missed math questions by topic, like fractions or shapes, and review those with flashcards before your child tries another set.
Is there an SSAT Lower Level practice test PDF?
The SSAT does not have a Lower Level. Younger students take the SSAT Elementary Level, and older students take the Middle or Upper Level. The Lower Level name belongs to the ISEE, a different admissions test. If your child is applying to grade 4 or 5, look for SSAT Elementary Level practice materials instead.
How is the SSAT Elementary Level different from the Middle Level?
The Elementary Level is shorter and for students applying to grades 4 and 5, with one math section focused on arithmetic, basic fractions, shapes, and patterns. The Middle Level is for students applying to grades 6 to 8 and has two math sections that add more fractions, percents, basic algebra, and data. Elementary scores are also reported on a different scale.
