FAQ

Ontario MPT flashcards: questions

Where do these flashcards come from?

Each of the 74 cards is one point from our study notes, which we write from the official The Ontario Curriculum: Mathematics (Grades 1–8, 2020; Grade 9, 2021). The front names the rule; the back states it. Nothing on the cards is added beyond those notes.

How should I use the flashcards?

Read the front, answer in your head, then flip. Choose "Got it" only if you knew it; otherwise choose "Review again". At the end, go through the "Review again" cards once more, or pick a single topic from the list to focus on it.

Is my progress saved?

Yes, on this device only. Cards marked "Review again" stay in the "Needs review" list, and every card you rate counts towards your topic map on the exam overview. Nothing is sent to us with your name; you can clear it from the overview page.

Are flashcards enough to pass the Ontario MPT test?

No. Flashcards help you remember the rules, but the test asks multiple-choice questions. Use our practice tests and mock exams as well, and study the official material from Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO), for the Ontario College of Teachers.
