What kinds of math questions are in the quiz?

Five topics, or all five mixed: arithmetic (addition, subtraction, multiplication and exact division), place value (the value of a digit, the digit in a place, building a number from its parts, and rounding), fractions (adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing, and a fraction of a whole number), one-step equations such as n + 12 = 30, and proportions, including short rate problems. The numbers each question is built from come from a range you set, anywhere from 0 to 1,000,000; a dividend or the whole number in a fraction of a number can go past it.

Can I play it as a math quiz game?

Yes. Set a 2, 5 or 10 minute limit and a target, then race the clock: the summary shows how many you got right and whether you reached the target. Friends on the same seed and settings play the same questions, so scores compare fairly.

How do I make the quiz easier or harder?

The quiz opens as a basic facts quiz: addition, subtraction, multiplication and exact division on numbers from 1 to 12. For an easier one, lower the highest number to 5 or 10 and choose Four choices. For a harder one, for older students or adults, raise the highest number to 100 or 1,000, choose Fractions or Mixed, type your answers and set a 2 minute limit.

Is 6/8 marked right when the answer is 3/4?

Yes. Every answer is compared as an exact value, so 3/4, 6/8, 9/12 and 0.75 are all accepted, and a mixed number such as 1 1/4 counts for 5/4. A rounded decimal is not exact, so 0.333 is not accepted for 1/3. An arithmetic, place value, equation or proportion question asks for a whole number, so typing 56/8 back for 56 ÷ 8 gets a note instead of a mark; in the fractions topic a fraction equal to the answer, such as 24/4 for 6, is accepted.

What happens if I reveal the answer?

The answer and its working appear, and the question is marked assisted. You can still type the answer in to practice it, but an assisted question is left out of your unassisted score and does not count toward the target. The unassisted score is right answers out of the questions you answered without help, so 7 right and 1 wrong is 7 of 8, 87.5%.

How is the target score worked out?

The target is a percentage of every question in the quiz, rounded up to a whole question, because part of a question cannot be answered. 85% of 25 questions is 21.25, so the target is 22 right, while 80% of 25 is exactly 20. Only unassisted right answers count toward it.

Can I make a math quiz for a class?

Yes. Choose the topic, the numbers, the number of questions and a timer, and the quiz is generated from those settings and a seed. The same seed with the same topic, numbers and number of questions deals the same questions in the same order, with the same four choices, so a teacher can read out a seed and everyone gets the same quiz. You cannot type in questions of your own. Each person's answers stay in their own browser.

Only if you want one. Count up shows the time taken. A 2, 5 or 10 minute limit ends the quiz when it runs out, and any question left unanswered counts as not answered. With the timer off, no time is shown.

Does it save my progress?

Yes, in this browser. The settings and the quiz in progress are kept in local storage, so a reload picks up at the same question, and the summary of a finished quiz stays until you start another. Start over at the top of the page clears it, and the saves on the Fractions Quiz and One-Step Equations Quiz pages too.

Does it work on a phone, and do I need an account?

It runs in any current browser on a phone, tablet, Chromebook or computer, with nothing to install and no account. The quiz is free to use.

Can I print a math quiz?

This quiz is answered on screen. For a printed sheet of arithmetic problems with a separate answer key, use Math Worksheet Maker, linked below.

Is this quiz matched to a grade level or curriculum?

No. The questions come from fixed templates and the numbers you choose, so it is practice, not a placement test: it is not aligned to any official curriculum and cannot predict an exam result.

Math Practice Quiz

Math Practice Quiz deals original questions from a seed: arithmetic, place value, fractions, and one-step equations and proportions, built from a range of numbers you choose. Type an answer or pick from four choices, and each one is checked exactly, so 6/8 counts for 3/4, then the working is shown line by line. A revealed answer is marked assisted and kept out of your unassisted score, the target rounds up to whole questions, and the questions you missed come back as a new round. Share the seed and settings, and a whole class gets the same questions in the same order.

Review

No mistakes or revealed answers so far.

Type an answer and press Enter to check it, then Enter again for the next question. Fractions can be typed as 3/4, as a mixed number such as 1 1/4, or as an exact decimal such as 0.75. Whole-number answers take commas, so 4,762 and 4762 are the same.

Review your attempts. Use the Review filters to inspect your answers and working. Practice the missed builds a new round from the wrong and revealed questions.

Accuracy. Every question comes from a fixed set of generated templates (arithmetic, place value, fractions, and one-step equations and proportions), and every answer is checked exactly, with equivalent fractions such as 3/4 and 6/8 both accepted. The same seed and settings give the same quiz, and revealed answers count as assisted and stay out of your unassisted score. It is practice, not a placement test: it is not aligned to any official curriculum and cannot predict an exam result.
