Dear Grade 6, 7 & 8 Parents,

During this time when our students are learning at a distance, working with these Gauss Math Practice Exams will help them in a number of ways:  they will review math skills they have previously seen;  they will apply what they know in new ways; and, they will have an opportunity to challenge themselves with enriched material.  

There are 25 problems in each exam, increasing in difficulty from to section A to section B and Section C.  Section C questions are extremely challenging.  Some Grade 6 students who are interested should try the Grade 7 exams, and even though they have not learned all of the math involved; their math skills will be much improved by the effort.

Students will get the best learning benefit from approaching these practice exams in the following way:

1. Try each exam from start to finish without looking at the solutions.  Do the work and put the answers on a separate piece of paper.
2. Use the answers supplied to score this first attempt.
3. For those questions where they arrived at an incorrect answer, they should work through the solution with paper and pencil until they understand how the problem was solved.
4. Try the exam again to see how they have improved.

If approached in this way, each practice exam will be explored over the course of a week.
