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.

Sample Year 9 Maths questions

These sample questions are visible on the page before login. They show Year 9 index laws, linear graphs, trigonometry, similarity, statistics, and probability explanations before opening the demo.

Year 9 Maths Index laws hard sequence graph

1. If 3ᵃ = 27 and 3ᵇ = 9, what is 3ᵃ⁺ᵇ?

Powers of three a b 3⁵
Choices
  • 243
  • 81
  • 729
  • 36
Explanation:

Since 27 = 3³, a = 3. Since 9 = 3², b = 2. Therefore 3ᵃ⁺ᵇ = 3⁵ = 243.

Year 9 Maths Linear graphs hard break-even graph

2. A taxi fare is modelled by C = 4.20 + 1.80d, where d is the distance in kilometres. If the fare is 31.20, what is d?

Taxi fare graph d C $
Choices
  • 15 km
  • 17.3 km
  • 19.7 km
  • 27 km
Explanation:

Subtract the fixed charge: 31.20 - 4.20 = 27.00. Then divide by 1.80, giving d = 15 km.

Year 9 Maths Trigonometry hard diagram

3. From a point 42 m from the base of a building, the angle of elevation to the top is 36°. What is the building height to the nearest 0.1 m?

Angle of elevation to a building 42 m h 36°
Choices
  • 30.5 m
  • 24.7 m
  • 57.8 m
  • 34.0 m
Explanation:

Use tan(36°) = height / 42. The height is 42 × tan(36°) = 30.516..., which rounds to 30.5 m.

Year 9 Maths Similarity hard scale plan

4. Two similar rectangles have a scale factor of 3 / 2 from the smaller to the larger. If the smaller area is 48 cm², what is the larger area?

Similar rectangles S L 3/2
Choices
  • 108 cm²
  • 72 cm²
  • 96 cm²
  • 162 cm²
Explanation:

Areas scale by the square of the length scale factor. The area factor is (3 / 2)² = 9 / 4, so the larger area is 48 × 9 / 4 = 108 cm².

Year 9 Maths Statistics hard weighted score chart

5. The data values 10, 12, 12, 15, 16 and 20 have one more value x added. If the new mean is 15, what is x?

Mean with one missing value Σ x 15
Choices
  • 20
  • 15
  • 18
  • 25
Explanation:

The six known values sum to 85. Seven values with mean 15 must sum to 105, so x = 105 - 85 = 20.

Year 9 Maths Probability hard probability tree

6. A bag contains 5 blue counters and 3 red counters. Two counters are drawn without replacement. What is the probability that both are blue?

Counters without replacement B R BB
Choices
  • 5 / 14
  • 25 / 64
  • 5 / 8
  • 3 / 14
Explanation:

The probability is 5 / 8 for the first blue and 4 / 7 for the second blue after one blue is removed. So P(two blue) = 5 / 8 × 4 / 7 = 20 / 56 = 5 / 14.

For parents comparing Year 9 Maths support

Year 9 maths practice should build senior-readiness through index laws, linear modelling, trigonometry, similarity, statistics, and probability. These examples show the worked reasoning before the no-login Year 9 Maths demo.

What this practice and exercise page covers

Australian Curriculum-aligned maths coverage with topic and subtopic filters for focused revision, plus structured sample questions through the Year 9 maths demo.

Practice sessions include exercise mode for instant feedback, test mode for delayed results, and parent review when the student signs in through a managed account. Skill Align treats practice questions and exercise questions as the same learning workflow: students answer curriculum-aligned questions, review explanations, and move between exercise mode and test mode.

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
  • Index laws: Students simplify an expression using exponent rules and see the reason each option is correct or incorrect.
  • Linear graphs: A graph or table item asks students to identify gradient, intercept, or a matching equation from structured data.
  • Geometry and probability: Questions focus on Pythagoras, similarity, trigonometric ratios, or probability rules after the concept has been introduced.
Suggested first practice steps
  • Preview the public sample practice and exercise questions before creating a saved student session.
  • Choose one focus area that has already been introduced at school.
  • Use exercise mode for immediate explanations, then test mode when the student is ready for delayed feedback.

These examples are not the full topic list. Use the curriculum coverage page for the complete mapped pathway.

  • Index laws and number skills
  • Linear graphs and relationships
  • Pythagoras, measurement and geometry
  • Statistics, probability and data
