FTCE Middle Grades Mathematics 5-9 Exam

The Middle Grades Mathematics 5-9 subject examination consists of about 80 multiple-choice questions. Test-takers will receive a test booklet and a separate answer sheet. Question formats will include word problem, direct question, command, scenario, proofs, and graphics. Each question will contain four response options, which will be answered by bubbling in choice A, B, C, or D.

The test encompasses 9 core competencies, each with between 3 and 25 skill areas. Competencies are defined as areas of content knowledge, with skills being the behaviors that demonstrate those competencies. Each competency is also assigned a percentage representing the approximate proportion of test items in that content area on the test. Together, the competencies and skills are representative of knowledge that has been determined by content specialists to be important for beginning teachers.

Test-takers will need to demonstrate knowledge of mathematics through problem solving; mathematical representations; mathematics through reasoning; mathematical connections; number sense, concepts, and operations; algebraic thinking; data analysis and probability; geometry and spatial sense; and measurement.
