What is in the quiz?
Pick a grade and answer 10 mixed questions. There are hundred grids to read, conversions, comparisons, percents of numbers, shopping problems and interest. Each answer is marked straight away with a hint, and Play again gives a fresh quiz every time.
Percent answers are typed as a number, and the % sign is already shown. Money answers are typed like 24.50. The on-screen number pad has a point key, so it works on phones and tablets too.
Fraction answers use stacked top and bottom boxes, and any equivalent fraction is accepted. The hints show a method, not just the answer: a missed discount shows the percent off and the subtraction, step by step.
How to use the quiz
- As a check-up: take the quiz for your child’s grade once a week and note the score.
- Read the hints: every wrong answer shows how to work it out. Talk through one together.
- Go back a grade if the grade 7 score is under 6 out of 10. Most grade 7 mistakes start with grade 6 conversions.
- For one skill at a time, use the percent practice tool and pick a skill.
- To track progress step by step, use the percent levels.
What the score means
| Score | What to do next |
|---|---|
| 9 or 10 | Secure. Try the next grade, or the next percent level. |
| 7 or 8 | Nearly there. Read the hints for the misses and retake in a few days. |
| 6 or less | Go back to the lessons for the question types missed, or try grade 6. |
Look at which questions were missed, not just the total. Three misses on percent change need a different fix from three misses on fractions.
The errors the quiz shows up
Percent mistakes follow a few patterns. Spotting the pattern tells you what to teach next.

- Wrong starting amount: dividing a change by the new amount. See percent change.
