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 12 Foundation Mathematics Financial mathematics hard payslip 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.

VCE Year 12 Foundation Mathematics Space and measurement hard scale plan

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 m^2.

VCE Year 12 Foundation Mathematics Data and statistics hard weighted score chart

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.

VCE Year 12 Foundation Mathematics Algebra and graphs hard break-even graph

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

Explanation:

Revenue is 33n and cost is 450 + 18n. Break-even occurs when 33n = 450 + 18n, so 15n = 450 and n = 30.

VCE Year 12 Foundation Mathematics Probability hard probability tree

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.

VCE Year 12 Foundation Mathematics Measurement and conversion hard measurement diagram

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

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 m^3. Then 0.72 / 0.012 = 60 whole sandbags.

What this practice and exercise page covers

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. 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

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.
