Year 8 Quantitative reasoning practice for selective school tests
Quantitative reasoning sits between mathematics and thinking skills: numbers presented as evidence, and questions about what they do and do not prove.
What the section covers
- Reading data
- Tables, graphs and charts where the answer depends on the axis labels.
- Estimation
- Deciding roughly what the answer must be, and using it to rule options out.
- Comparison
- Which of two quantities is larger, when neither is calculated exactly.
- Interpretation
- What a figure means, what it excludes, and the conclusion it will not support.
