About the assessment

BC Grade 10 Numeracy Assessment

The Grade 10 Numeracy Assessment is a British Columbia graduation requirement. The common section has 24 computer-scored questions built around four real-life tasks (six questions per task). Students then answer two written-response questions on paper from a choice of four, marked by BC educators with a rubric, and finish with an unscored self-reflection.

Tasks are set in personal, career, societal and scientific contexts and use the five numeracy processes: interpret, apply, solve, analyze and communicate. Most of the math is Grade 8 level (number, patterns, geometry and measurement, data and probability, financial literacy), with some Grade 9 ideas.

⚠️There is no percent pass mark. Results are reported on a proficiency scale (Emerging, Developing, Proficient, Extending). This quiz uses a 70% target and a 60-minute timer as study estimates. It reproduces the multiple-choice style only, not the written responses or other item types.

ExamHub's free practice quiz has 60 original questions on 10 scenario tasks. Each Test Me draws 24 questions, the size of the real common section.

Sample numeracy practice questions

Five questions pulled from the bank, with the answer shown. In the quiz above, each question comes with its task text and data.

Question 1
A class of 28 students plans a trip. The bus costs $474.00 and the students' park entrance fees cost $126.00. If only the 28 students share the total cost equally, how much does each student pay, to the nearest cent?
  • $21.43
  • $19.35
  • $16.93
  • $4.50

Why: Total = $474.00 + $126.00 = $600.00. $600.00 ÷ 28 = $21.43 (to the nearest cent).

Question 2
A part-time worker earns $18.00 per hour for 19 hours. Deductions are CPP (5% of gross pay), EI $5.60 and income tax $22.00. What is the net pay?
  • $297.30
  • $386.70
  • $324.90
  • $44.70

Why: Gross pay = 19 × $18.00 = $342.00. Deductions = $17.10 + $5.60 + $22.00 = $44.70. Net pay = $342.00 − $44.70 = $297.30.

Question 3
A survey asks 100 randomly chosen students from a school of 800. In the sample, 58 say yes. About how many of the 800 students would say yes?
  • 464 students
  • 580 students
  • 58 students
  • 336 students

Why: 58% of 800 = 0.58 × 800 = 464 students.

Question 4
A cylindrical rain barrel has a diameter of 60 cm and a height of 90 cm. About how many litres does it hold? (1000 cm³ = 1 L)
  • 254 L
  • 1018 L
  • 25.4 L
  • 127 L

Why: The radius is 30 cm. V = π × 30² × 90 ≈ 254 469 cm³, which is about 254 L.

Question 5
Weekly paper collected (kg): 62, 75, 58, 140, 75, 69. What is the median?
  • 72 kg
  • 75 kg
  • 79.8 kg
  • 140 kg

Why: In order: 58, 62, 69, 75, 75, 140. The middle two values are 69 and 75, so the median is (69 + 75) ÷ 2 = 72 kg.
