Maths | Testing Knowledge

A maths quiz tests how quickly a person can recall basic facts as well as maths strategies to give an answer to an equation. There are two maths quizzes below. One includes fact families and addition and subtraction, and the second quiz includes strand knowledge (measurement, fractions and everything else).

Addition challenges a persons ability to use place value (or another simple strategy) to solve a problem. Subtraction tests a persons ability to look at the value of each number's digit and use that knowledge to subtract a certain amount. Fact families challenge a person to use bedmass/bodmass (addition, subtraction, multiplication or division) to find out what makes up a certain number.

Fractions help a person improve their ability to divide and multiply an amount. Measurement helps a person focus on the value of each unit and use multiplication and division to convert between the units. Mean, median and mode tests a persons ability to understand the value of a digit and add, subtract, divide or multiply. Time challenges a persons skill to convert between time units and multiply or divide units of time. Estimations help a person improve their ability to apply their knowledge of something and make an educated guess.

It is very important for people to have a good understanding of the different types of maths because they can apply that knowledge to their everyday lives and it can make things much easier to solve. One thing that a person can apply their knowledge of maths to is finding a fraction of something, and that person could use division to solve this.
