What math is on the TEAS 7? Every topic ATI lists
Written and reviewed by Brittany Scott, BSN, RN, CCM · 3 min read · Updated November 2026
Short answer
TEAS 7 math has two areas: numbers and algebra (18 scored questions) and measurement and data (16 scored questions). ATI lists 38 math questions in 57 minutes, 4 of them unscored. Topics include fractions, decimals, percents, ratios and proportions, algebraic equations, geometry, statistics, basic trigonometry and unit conversions.
The two content areas and their weight
ATI's TEAS exam details page lists the math section at 38 questions in 57 minutes, with 4 unscored pretest questions. The 34 scored questions split into numbers and algebra, 18 questions, and measurement and data, 16 questions.
ATI's TEAS 7 content outline puts math at 23 percent of the scored test: 12 percent numbers and algebra and 11 percent measurement and data. Across the whole exam there are 170 questions, 150 scored, so math has fewer scored questions than reading (39) and science (44) and more than English and language usage (33).
Numbers and algebra topics
ATI's help page on TEAS formulas lists the skills to review: fractions and decimals with all four operations; percentages; ratios and proportions; and algebraic equations. ATI's content outline adds converting among fractions, decimals and percentages and real-world percentage problems.
The sample questions in ATI's content outline show the style. One asks how many students are in a class if 30 percent, or 18 students, received an A; the answer is 60. Another subtracts a list of monthly expenses from a paycheck. Expect word problems more than bare equations.
Measurement and data topics
The same ATI page lists geometry, statistics (mean, median, mode, range and standard deviation), unit conversions, and basic trigonometry with sine, cosine and tangent. ATI does not say how deep the trigonometry or standard deviation items go, so treat them as a short review, not a major unit.
Its sample formulas include distance (d = rt), area of a rectangle, circumference of a circle, the Pythagorean theorem and simple interest. ATI's study manual for 2026 to 2027 covers this area in its math unit alongside numbers and algebra.
Question formats and the calculator
The content outline lists the formats used across TEAS 7: multiple choice, multiple select, fill-in-the-blank numeric, hot spot and ordered response. On a numeric fill-in item there are no answer choices to check against, so rounding instructions in the stem matter.
ATI says a basic on-screen calculator is available throughout the exam, with the four operations, percent, square root, backspace and memory keys. It is not a scientific or graphing calculator. ATI says personal, phone and watch calculators are not allowed, at home or in person.

Common questions
How many math questions are on the TEAS 7?
ATI lists 38 math questions in 57 minutes. Thirty four are scored, 18 numbers and algebra and 16 measurement and data, and 4 are unscored pretest items.
Is there algebra on the TEAS?
Yes. Numbers and algebra is the larger math area at 18 scored questions, and ATI's formula page lists algebraic equations among the skills to review.
Does the TEAS give you formulas?
ATI's formula page does not say a formula sheet is provided, and it lists formulas to learn. Plan to learn the formulas on that page before test day.
