MTLE Middle Level Mathematics (Grades 5-8) Study Guide 2027–2028 | Minnesota Math Teacher License Prep, Subtests 217 & 218 (PDF)

Prepare for MTLE Middle Level Mathematics (Grades 5-8), the Minnesota Teacher Licensure Examinations content test for the middle level mathematics license. One book covers both subtests. The 13 sections follow the 14 official objectives in order, teach every topic from the ground up at a teacher's level, and show how each idea is taught and misunderstood in grades 5-8 classrooms.

What's Inside

• Exam overview: two subtests (217 and 218) of 50 questions each, the 1 hour 30 minute testing time, the subarea weights, the 100-300 score scale, the $78.50 fee per subtest and the 30-day retake rule

• The formulas page: what it gives you and the formulas you must memorize

• Number sense: number systems and complex numbers, number theory, operations and alternative algorithms, estimation, percents, ratios and proportional reasoning

• Patterns, relations and functions: sequences and series, expressions, functions and variation, linear equations, inequalities and systems, quadratic, polynomial and exponential functions, and the derivative as a rate of change

• Shape and space: measurement and indirect measurement, right-triangle trigonometry, two- and three-dimensional figures, geometric arguments, coordinate and transformational geometry

• Data, probability and discrete mathematics: sampling and experiments, displays and statistics, probability rules, counting, recursion, graphs and spanning trees, matrices and algorithms

• Content-area reading in mathematics: vocabulary, academic language, before-, during- and after-reading strategies, and support for English learners and struggling readers

• Worked examples, Classroom Cases, student-error spotlights, diagrams and charts, and 96 quick-reference tables

• Study schedules, FAQs and test-taking strategies

• 2 practice tests of 100 questions each (a Subtest 1 block and a Subtest 2 block), 200 questions total, with a complete answer key and an explanation for every question
