Pre Algebra Assessment Test | Math Test Prep for Grades 4-7 with Answer Key

Pre algebra assessment test and math test prep

This pre algebra assessment test is a 12 page math test prep worksheet with 80 questions for grades 4 to 7. It reviews number sense, fractions and decimals, geometry and measurement, and the first steps of pre-algebra and word problems.

It is a practice set for test prep and review, not an official test. Students answer multiple choice, true or false and write-in questions, so they get used to the formats they will see on a real test.

Teachers who need a pre algebra assessment test or a math test prep packet will find four sections of 20 questions here, and the packet comes with an answer key, an answer sheet and a lesson plan.

What’s on the pages

The worksheet has four sections of 20 questions each, and each one has its own heading and directions.

• Number sense and operations: multiple choice questions such as which number is a multiple of 6, or 144 divided by 12.
• Fractions and decimals: true or false statements, such as 0.1 being larger than 0.09, or 3/4 being larger than 4/5.
• Geometry and measurement: students write only the number, such as the perimeter of a rectangle that is 10 meters by 2 meters, or the sides of an octagon.
• Pre-algebra and word problems: multiple choice questions such as 20 percent of 100, or Omar planting 4 rows of trees with 5 trees in each row.

Only the last section is about pre-algebra, so the packet is best used as a wide review that ends with a first look at algebra.

What’s in the download

• Student worksheet: 12 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 33 pages, and everything comes as PDF.

How to use this pre algebra assessment test

The lesson plan is set for 90 minutes. Its objectives are to review arithmetic, place value and rounding, to check equivalent fractions and decimal comparisons, to find area and perimeter and recall unit conversions, and to solve basic pre-algebra equations and simple word problems.

The teacher hands out the worksheet and scratch paper. Section 1 has multiple choice questions on number sense. In Section 2 students read each statement carefully and decide if it is true or false. In Section 3 they write final numerical answers clearly. In Section 4 they use scratch paper to set up the equations before they select an answer. Students have 90 minutes in all, and the teacher collects the worksheets and reviews the correct answers with the class.

The materials list printed copies of the worksheet, pencils and erasers, and scratch paper for calculations.

Mark each missed question by section to see which topics to teach again before the real test.

The answer sheet keeps the worksheet clean for reuse, and the answer key gives a short explanation after every answer.

Teachers who look for a math review packet or a pre-algebra review will find both here, and the pre algebra assessment test with answer key pages lets a helper check the work in minutes.

Where it fits

Use it for test prep weeks, a review day, tutoring, intervention or homework. Homeschool families can work through one section a day.

Because the sections use different formats, students also practice switching between question types, which is a useful test taking skill.
