NC Math 1 practice covers all 41 standards in the course: the six standards on each of the two NC Check-Ins for NC Math 1, plus a review of the other 29 for the End-of-Course test. The EOC has 50 scored questions (15 without a calculator, then 35 with a graphing calculator) across four domains: Number and Quantity with Algebra; Functions; Geometry; and Statistics and Probability.

T(m) is the temperature, in degrees Fahrenheit, of a cup of cocoa m minutes after it is poured.
What does T(10) = 128 mean?
Choose an answer to see the worked solution.
Worked solutionIn T(m), the number inside the parentheses is the input, m, which is minutes. The number T(10) equals is the output, the temperature. So T(10) = 128 pairs 10 minutes with 128°F.
Reading it as 10°F after 128 minutes swaps the input and the output. A rate such as '10 degrees every 128 minutes' would need two outputs to compare, and one statement gives only one. T(10) is not T times 10; the parentheses hold the input.
NC.M1.A-CED.1At Proficiency
Jordan has saved $150 and earns $12.50 an hour at a part-time job. He needs at least $650 for a used laptop.
Which inequality gives the numbers of hours h he must work?
Choose an answer to see the worked solution.
Worked solutionHis savings after h hours are 150 + 12.50h, and "at least $650" means 150 + 12.50h ≥ 650. Subtract 150: 12.50h ≥ 500. Divide by 12.50, a positive number, so the symbol stays the same: h ≥ 40. h ≤ 40 flips the symbol, which only happens when dividing by a negative. h ≥ 52 divides 650 by 12.50 and forgets the $150 he already has. h ≥ 64 adds the $150 to the goal instead of subtracting it.
NC.M1.A-REI.4Above Proficiency
Tariq solves 4x2 = 28x like this:
4x2 = 28x 4x2 ÷ 4x = 28x ÷ 4x x = 7
Which statement about Tariq's work is correct?
Choose an answer to see the worked solution.
Worked solutionCheck x = 0 in the original equation: 4(0)2 = 0 and 28(0) = 0, so x = 0 is a solution that Tariq's work never found. Dividing both sides by 4x is only allowed when 4x is not 0, so that step throws away the case x = 0. Solve by factoring instead: subtract 28x to get 4x2 − 28x = 0, factor out the greatest common factor, 4x(x − 7) = 0, and use the Zero Product Property: 4x = 0 gives x = 0, and x − 7 = 0 gives x = 7. Both check: 4(49) = 196 = 28(7).
A quadratic can have 0 as a solution whenever it has no constant term, as here. x = −7 does not check: 4(49) = 196 but 28(−7) = −196; the ± pair comes from taking a square root of both sides, which is not what this equation needs. 28x ÷ 4x is 7, not 7x.
Teacher questions
When should I use each part?
Assign each practice set as you teach its topics, then give the full-length practice test once everything has been taught.
What about calculators?
The practice follows the state's calculator rule for this course: no calculator for the first 15 questions, then a graphing calculator for the other 35. Check your school's testing guidance for the current rules.
Are these actual state test questions?
No. Every item is original and aligned to the published standards. Nothing is copied from a state test, a released item or a reference sheet.
