Scholars trail · ages 13–15

Free math practice for 14-year-olds

At fourteen, algebra takes centre stage: solving equations, working with powers and applying ratios in real contexts. Angle rules and order of operations also need to be second nature.

Number Quest's Scholars trail gives fast practice on the basics of each, with a written explanation after every answer. Teens who want more can move on to the Masters trail for linear equations and functions.
