Sample Year 10 Maths questions

These sample questions are visible on the page before login. They show Year 10 algebra, measurement, trigonometry, statistics, non-linear relationships, and probability explanations before opening the demo.

Year 10 Maths Algebra hard transformation graph

1. The graph of y = x² - 5x + 6 crosses the x-axis at two points. Which solution set is correct for x² - 5x + 6 = 0?

Quadratic graph intercepts A B x
Choices
  • x = 2 and x = 3
  • x = -2 and x = -3
  • x = 1 and x = 6
  • x = 5 and x = 6
Explanation:

Factor the quadratic as (x - 2)(x - 3) = 0. A product is zero when either factor is zero, so x = 2 or x = 3.

Year 10 Maths Measurement and geometry hard measurement diagram

2. A rectangular prism has total surface area 108 cm². A similar prism is made with every length multiplied by 1.5. What is the new total surface area?

Similar rectangular prisms L W H
Choices
  • 243 cm²
  • 162 cm²
  • 216 cm²
  • 364.5 cm²
Explanation:

Surface area scales by the square of the length scale factor. Since 1.5² = 2.25, the new surface area is 108 × 2.25 = 243 cm².

Year 10 Maths Trigonometry hard diagram

3. A student stands 12 m from a pole on level ground. The angle of elevation to the top is 30°. What is the height of the pole to the nearest 0.1 m?

Angle of elevation diagram 12 m h 30°
Choices
  • 6.9 m
  • 10.4 m
  • 20.8 m
  • 4.0 m
Explanation:

Use tan(30°) = height / 12. The height is 12 × tan(30°) = 6.928..., which rounds to 6.9 m.

Year 10 Maths Statistics and probability hard regression graph

4. A regression model predicts a test score using S = 42 + 0.8h, where h is study hours. For h = 30, the actual score is 70. What is the residual using actual - predicted?

Residual from a study model P L r
Choices
  • 4
  • -4
  • 66
  • 70
Explanation:

The predicted score is 42 + 0.8 × 30 = 66. The residual is actual - predicted, so 70 - 66 = 4.

Year 10 Maths Non-linear relationships hard growth graph

5. A quantity halves each hour and is modelled by N = a(0.5)ᵗ. If N = 10 when t = 3, what is the starting value a?

Halving model graph t N n P
Choices
  • 80
  • 40
  • 30
  • 13
Explanation:

After 3 hours, the multiplier is (0.5)³ = 1/8. So 10 = a × 1/8, which gives a = 80.

Year 10 Maths Probability hard probability tree

6. In a two-stage event, P(A) = 0.70. If A occurs, P(B) = 0.20; if A does not occur, P(B) = 0.50. What is P(B)?

Two-stage probability tree A not A B
Choices
  • 0.29
  • 0.14
  • 0.35
  • 0.70
Explanation:

Add the two branches that end in B: 0.70 × 0.20 + 0.30 × 0.50 = 0.14 + 0.15 = 0.29.

For parents comparing Year 10 Maths support

Year 10 maths practice should show whether a student is ready for senior pathways: quadratic algebra, similar figures, trigonometry, residuals, non-linear models, and probability. These examples preview that style before the no-login Year 10 Maths demo.
