Sample Year 8 Maths questions
These sample questions are visible on the page before login. They show Year 8 scale, linear relationships, Pythagoras, rates, probability, and algebra explanations before opening the demo.
Year 8MathsScale and measurementhardscale plan
1. A map has scale 1:25,000. The distance between two points is 8.4 cm on the map. What is the actual distance in kilometres?
Choices
2.1 km
0.21 km
21 km
1.68 km
Explanation:
The actual distance is 8.4 × 25,000 = 210,000 cm. Since 100,000 cm = 1 km, this is 2.1 km.
Year 8MathsLinear relationshipshardbreak-even graph
2. A straight line passes through (2, 7) and (6, 19). Which rule gives the line?
Choices
y = 3x + 1
y = 4x - 1
y = 3x - 1
y = x + 5
Explanation:
The gradient is (19 - 7) / (6 - 2) = 3. Using (2, 7), 7 = 3 × 2 + b, so b = 1. The rule is y = 3x + 1.
Year 8MathsPythagoras and geometryharddiagram
3. A ramp is 5.2 m long and its horizontal run is 4.8 m. What is the vertical rise of the ramp?
Choices
2.0 m
1.4 m
3.2 m
10.0 m
Explanation:
Use Pythagoras: rise² = 5.2² - 4.8² = 27.04 - 23.04 = 4. The rise is 2.0 m.
Year 8MathsRates and equationshardgrowth graph
4. A tank already contains 40 L of water and fills at 18 L per minute. After how many minutes will it contain 220 L?
Choices
10 min
12.2 min
14.4 min
180 min
Explanation:
The added water must be 220 - 40 = 180 L. At 18 L per minute, the time is 180 / 18 = 10 minutes.
Year 8MathsProbabilityhardprobability tree
5. P(rain) = 0.35. If it rains, P(late) = 0.60; if it does not rain, P(late) = 0.15. What is the probability of being late?
Choices
0.3075
0.21
0.45
0.7475
Explanation:
Add the late branches: 0.35 × 0.60 + 0.65 × 0.15 = 0.21 + 0.0975 = 0.3075.
Year 8MathsAlgebra and areahardscale plan
6. A large square has side length 3x and a small square has side length x. The difference between their areas is 128 cm². What is x?
Choices
4
8
16
2
Explanation:
The area difference is (3x)² - x² = 9x² - x² = 8x². So 8x² = 128, x² = 16, and x = 4 because a side length is positive.
For parents comparing Year 8 Maths support
Year 8 maths practice should make proportional reasoning, linear rules, Pythagoras, rates, probability, and algebra feel structured rather than guessable. These examples preview that style before the no-login Year 8 Maths demo.
