PECT Module 3 Mathematics, Science, and Health
PECT MODULE 3 - MATHEMATICS, SCIENCE, AND HEALTH
COVERAGE
includes basic math skills such as number sense, operations, fractions,
measurement, geometry, and data interpretation. It also assesses
science concepts including life, physical, and earth sciences, scientific
inquiry, and experimentation skills. Health content includes nutrition,
personal wellness, hygiene, safety, and healthy lifestyle practices.
Additional areas include lesson planning, differentiated instruction,
hands-on learning strategies, and assessment of student
understanding. Overall, the exam ensures candidates can effectively
teach foundational math, science, and health concepts in an
elementary classroom environment.
,Which of the following strategies is most appropriate for solving the
following problem: One week Liam baked some cookies and gave half
of them away. The next week Liam baked twice as many cookies as the
week before and gave half of them away. The third week Liam again
baked twice as many cookies as the week before and gave half of
them away. If Liam gave away 24 cookies the third week, how many
cookies did he give away altogether?
A) Looking for a pattern
B) Guessing and checking
C) Working backward
D) Solving a simpler problem
C) Working backward
,A Venn diagram would be most appropriate for visually representing
which of the following problems?
A) What are the common multiples of 2, 3, and 5 that are less than 40?
B) If 15 students in a class ride the bus to school and 10 do not, how
many students are in the class?
C) What is the probability that out of 3 flips of a coin, the coin will
come up heads every time?
D) If 4 students are wearing green shirts and 7 students are wearing
blue shirts, how many students are wearing either a green or blue
shirt?
A) What are the common multiples of 2, 3, and 5 that are less than 40?
