General Online Resources for the Praxis 5161 Exam
The following sites are a marvelous resource for getting general Qs about the Praxis 5161 Exam clarified, as well as for grasping specific Math concepts:
The only "drawback" - if you will - is that these sites don't offer problems / exercises [as in a textbook]. They are, however, matchless in their capacity to illustrate and explicate even intimidating concepts - one can't have enough examples! In general, use them to supplement a regular textbook - if the explanation is abstruse / more illumination is required, rely on these sites!
Find below a plethora of information to prepare for the Praxis 5161 Exam. I would strongly recommend them to be used IN CONJUNCTION WITH a textbook!
Here are some resources to review / test yourself for Precalculus:
Here are some Calculus resources and websites to review / test yourself:
- Become a member of A to Z Teacher Stuff an immensely popular forum for current and prospective teachers, immediately! You can examine questions that candidates in similar situations have had about various aspects of the Praxis 5161 in their Single Subject Forums.
- Have a seemingly insoluble question in Math? Of course, you can email me, Jay, at [email protected], and I shall be delighted to help! But appearances notwithstanding, even I am not omniscient (SNIFF!). The blokes that run The Math Forum apparently are! You can consult their bountiful archives on High School Math questions and come away awestruck at the breadth and depth of topics covered!
- A couple of excellent Math sites that practically "walk one through" Precalculus-level Algebra!
Purple Math is a sterling site, which in turn refers to exhaustive online Math lessons.
Here's another capital resource: Paul's Online Math Notes
