Answer key preview

1. 3:4

Divide both terms by 6, so 18:24 becomes 3:4.

2. 8

Adding 14 to -6 gives 8.

3. 8x + 4

Distribute 4 to both terms.

4. 45

Area = length times width = 45.

When to use this test

Use Grade 6 tests for chapter checks, pre-assessments before a new unit, and spiral review after breaks. The 10-question framework gives a fast but reliable snapshot of student understanding.

For intervention cycles, pair these tests with equivalent A/B versions. You can compare growth after reteaching without repeating the exact same items.
