What is a practice skill?
A practice skill is a focused topic or question type designed to help students practise one curriculum-aligned concept with instant feedback and explanations. Skill Align uses practice skills to organise questions by year level, subject, strand, and curriculum focus.

VCE Year 12Foundation MathematicsFinancial mathematicshardpayslip diagram
1. A payslip shows gross pay of $1240 and tax withheld at 18%. Superannuation is paid separately and is not part of take-home pay. What is the net pay?
Choices
$1016.80
$1240.00
$1116.20
$142.60
Explanation:
The tax withheld is 0.18 x 1240 = $223.20. Net pay is gross pay minus tax, so $1240 - $223.20 = $1016.80.

2. A floor plan uses a scale of 1:200. A rectangular room measures 4.8 cm by 3.5 cm on the plan. What is the actual floor area?
Choices
67.2 m2
16.8 m2
33.6 m2
672 m2
Explanation:
At a scale of 1:200, 4.8 cm represents 9.6 m and 3.5 cm represents 7.0 m. The actual floor area is 9.6 x 7.0 = 67.2 m2.

3. Two phone plans are scored out of 10. Cost is weighted 40%, data 35%, and coverage 25%. Plan A scores 8, 6, 9. Plan B scores 7, 8, 7. Which comparison is correct?
Choices
Plan A by 0.20
Plan B by 0.20
Plan A by 2.00
The scores are equal
Explanation:
Plan A has weighted score 0.40 x 8 + 0.35 x 6 + 0.25 x 9 = 7.55. Plan B has weighted score 0.40 x 7 + 0.35 x 8 + 0.25 x 7 = 7.35, so Plan A is higher by 0.20.

4. A stall has fixed costs of $450 and costs $18 per item. Each item sells for $33. How many items must be sold to break even?
Choices
30
15
25
45
Explanation:
Revenue is 33n and cost is 450 + 18n. Break-even occurs when 33n = 450 + 18n, so 15n = 450 and n = 30.

5. A product passes a visual check with probability 0.92. If it passes the visual check, it passes the calculation check with probability 0.95. What is the probability it passes both checks?
Choices
0.874
0.950
0.920
0.030
Explanation:
This is a two-stage conditional probability. The probability of passing both checks is 0.92 x 0.95 = 0.874.

6. A sandbag is modelled as a rectangular prism 40 cm by 25 cm by 12 cm. How many whole sandbags can be filled from 0.72 m3 of sand?
Choices
60
6
72
600
Explanation:
The sandbag dimensions are 0.40 m, 0.25 m and 0.12 m, so one bag has volume 0.40 x 0.25 x 0.12 = 0.012 m3. Then 0.72 / 0.012 = 60 whole sandbags.

Foundation Mathematics practice sits inside VCE Mathematics Units 3 and 4 practice pathways, with Units 1 and 2 context available through the full curriculum coverage, with Skill Align keeping the route focused on the selected maths pathway.
Senior practice is organised by pathway, unit, topic, and mode so students can revise targeted areas rather than sitting a full-paper workflow every time.
Start with the public sample questions
to check the question style, then use the curriculum coverage page to choose a topic that matches the student's current classwork.
Preview question styles
Number and financial maths: Students practise number and financial maths through short targeted questions, explanations, and mode-specific feedback.
Measurement and practical geometry: Students practise measurement and practical geometry through short targeted questions, explanations, and mode-specific feedback.
Algebra and graphs: Students practise algebra and graphs through short targeted questions, explanations, and mode-specific feedback.
