Algebra Quiz – Test Your Math Skills

Algebra Quiz time! But first, here’s something you probably didn’t learn in math class: the equals sign “=” was invented in 1557 by Welsh mathematician Robert Recorde. He got tired of writing “is equal to” again and again, so he came up with a clever symbol using two parallel lines. He reasoned that no two things could be more equal than two identical lines. That tiny invention has since become one of the most used symbols in all of math—including every algebra test you’ve ever taken. This basic algebra quiz includes multiple choice questions that make practicing equations and expressions a breeze. Whether you’re preparing for a math test or just curious, our fun algebra quiz has something for everyone.
