Numbers and Operations
The new SAT eschews the simple
and time-honored term “Arithmetic” in favor of the clunky
“Numbers and Operations.” Not that it really matters, since both
cover the exact same thing, and this gave us the chance to use the
word eschews, which has nothing to do with teeth
or chewing. Eschew means “to avoid,” and as you
know, the SAT tends to eschew simplicity a lot. Hence: Numbers and
Operations.
The nifty table of contents above shows all the Numbers
and Operations topics. For the new SAT, you should know this stuff
so well you barely have to think about it, especially since a number
of these will resurface in algebra questions.
