ACT Math Test Prep | Comprehensive Algebra, Geometry and Trigonometry Practice

ACT math test prep for high school students

This ACT math test prep is an 11 page practice packet with 75 questions for grades 9 to 12. It covers algebra and functions, geometry and trigonometry, true or false rules and statistics.

The packet comes with a 15 page answer key, a 4 page answer sheet and a 2 page lesson plan with a time for each section.

Students who want ACT math practice and review in one place will find four sections here, and an ACT math prep with answer key that shows the step behind every answer. The first section is ACT algebra and functions practice, and it has the most questions because algebra carries the most weight on the test.

What’s on the pages

The worksheet has four sections, and each one has its own heading and short directions.

• Algebra and functions practice: 25 multiple choice questions, such as solving the square root equation sqrt(x + 5) = 4, simplifying 4(x – 2) + 3(2x + 1) and solving x^2 – 5x + 6 = 0.
• Geometry and trigonometry practice: 25 multiple choice questions, such as the perimeter of a square with an area of 49 square meters, the volume of a 4 by 3 by 5 prism and the center of a circle from its equation.
• ACT math concepts and rules: 15 true or false statements, for example that a line with a negative slope rises from left to right and that 1 is a prime number.
• Statistics, probability and numerical analysis: 10 fill in the blank questions that use a Number Bank, like the mean of 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 and the mode of a data set.

The concepts section is short on purpose. It works well as a quick check of the rules that students tend to confuse, such as slopes of parallel lines and prime numbers.

What’s in the download

• Student worksheet: 11 pages
• Answer key: 15 pages, with a short explanation after each answer
• Answer sheet: 4 pages
• Lesson plan: 2 pages

The four parts add up to 32 pages, and everything comes as PDF.

How to use this ACT math test prep

The lesson plan is set for 90 minutes and gives each section its own time: 30 minutes for algebra and functions, 30 minutes for geometry and trigonometry, 15 minutes for concepts and 15 minutes for statistics.

Its objectives are to master ACT algebra operations such as quadratic factoring, exponent rules, linear equations and functions, to apply geometry and trigonometry formulas such as the Pythagorean theorem and circle equations, and to review statistics and probability.

The time limits help students practice pacing. A student who spends 45 minutes on the algebra section learns something useful about how test day will feel.

You can use the ACT math test prep as one long practice test or as four short sessions. After each session, students check their work with the key and note the topics that cost them points.

The answer sheet keeps the worksheet clean, so a tutor can reuse the pages with a second student. The key explains each answer in a short sentence, which makes it a study guide as well.

Because the ACT math test prep covers the whole test in one packet, a tutor can use it as a first session to find weak areas, then choose a smaller resource for each topic. Parents who are helping a teenager can follow the same plan from the answer key.

Where it fits

Use it for an ACT prep class, a tutoring session, a classroom review before a benchmark, or a summer study plan. Homeschool families can use it as a mock test with a built-in timer plan.

Take a look at the preview pages before you buy, so you can see the worksheet, the answer key and the answer sheet.
