A middle grades math guide for the ETS five-domain blueprint, graphing-calculator practice, selected-response pacing, numeric-entry work, and teaching-task applications.
Praxis 5164 preparation should balance computational fluency, conceptual understanding, graphing-calculator judgment, and the ability to apply math content to classroom decisions.
Use these official structure points to organize Middle School Mathematics study.
ETS lists Praxis 5164 as a 180-minute computer-delivered exam with 66 selected-response and numeric-entry questions.
Numbers and Operations and Algebra are each listed at about 23% of the examination.
Functions is 17%, Geometry and Measurement is 20%, and Statistics and Probability is 17%.
Approximately 30% of questions apply mathematics content to a Task of Teaching Mathematics.
The exam covers number systems, operations, proportional reasoning, algebraic expressions, equations, functions, geometry, measurement, data, probability, and statistics. A reliable study plan keeps all five domains in rotation.
Teaching-task items ask candidates to use mathematics in instructional contexts. Practice should include analyzing student work, identifying misconceptions, choosing examples, evaluating representations, and selecting next instructional moves.
The on-screen graphing calculator can support tables, graphs, numerical checks, function behavior, and data displays. Candidates still need exact reasoning and estimation so calculator work does not slow down easier items.

Praxis Middle School Mathematics 5164 measures knowledge and competencies needed for beginning middle school mathematics teaching. ETS states that the content spans Numbers and Operations, Algebra, Functions, Geometry and Measurement, and Statistics and Probability, with a portion of the exam applying mathematics to teaching scenarios and instructional tasks.
The current ETS study companion lists a 180-minute computer-delivered exam with 66 selected-response and numeric-entry questions and an on-screen graphing calculator. The content distribution is Numbers and Operations at 16 questions or 23%, Algebra at 15 questions or 23%, Functions at 11 questions or 17%, Geometry and Measurement at 13 questions or 20%, and Statistics and Probability at 11 questions or 17%. Approximately 30% of questions apply content to a Task of Teaching Mathematics.

Yes. ETS states that approximately 30% of questions apply mathematics content to a Task of Teaching Mathematics.
Yes. An on-screen graphing calculator is provided.
Create weekly targets for numbers and operations, algebra, functions, geometry and measurement, statistics and probability, and teaching-task reasoning.
Rehearse exact-value entry, units, decimals, fractions, and calculator-supported checks so non-multiple-choice items feel routine.
For each topic, identify common student errors, useful models, prerequisite skills, and sample questions that reveal understanding.
Complete timed sets across all domains, then sort misses by content gap, calculator workflow, wording issue, misconception analysis, or pacing problem.
Use the guide to self-serve, or talk to a coordinator if you need help mapping timelines, official requirements, or troubleshooting day-of logistics.
