CT4ME has identified resources related to each benchmark of the Ohio Mathematics Academic Content Standards that students should have mastered by the end of the grades 8-10 program.
Identify the benchmark (A-I) for review in Number, Number Sense, and Operations. Below the benchmark, you will find Web resources for reviewing the concept and practice problems.
Students should be able to review on their own using these resources. If you are not an Ohio educator, these resources can still benefit your test prep efforts, as benchmarks in other states are similarly stated.
Download the Test Prep Strand Booklet
Number, Number Sense and Operations (pdf) This test prep booklet (about 200 KB) is designed to help you monitor your progress toward mastery of each benchmark in this strand. You can print the entire booklet, or just those pages for benchmarks you need to work on. Write notes in the booklet next to each resource you use in your review.
If
needed, download
Adobe Acrobat Reader, free software for viewing and printing PDF files.
You
might need to download Java, a
free plug-in to interact with virtual manipulatives on
this page.

Here's a bit of history for you!
Imagine writing your numbers with seven different symbols: a single stroke, a hobble for cattle, a coil of rope, a lotus plant, a finger, a tadpole or frog, or a god with his arms raised above his head. Read more on this topic from Mark Millmore and explore doing a few problems with Egyptian Math.
Benchmarks in this strand have been correlated to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for Mathematics for the Conceptual Category (CC), Domain (D), and Cluster (C).
NOTE: As a general resource for Number Sense and Operations strand benchmarks, teachers might consult the following resource:
