1Calculate: (−8) + (+5).
A.−13
B.−3
C.3
D.−40
Explanation: Adding a positive number to a negative number means finding the difference of their absolute values and keeping the sign of the larger absolute value. Since |−8| = 8 is greater than |+5| = 5, the answer is −(8 − 5) = −3.
2Calculate: (−6) × (−4).
A.−24
B.−10
C.10
D.24
Explanation: The product of two numbers with the same sign is positive. Multiply the absolute values: 6 × 4 = 24, and since both factors are negative, the result is +24.
3Calculate: (−18) ÷ (+3).
A.−6
B.6
C.−15
D.−9
Explanation: The quotient of two numbers with different signs is negative. Divide the absolute values: 18 ÷ 3 = 6, and because the signs differ, the answer is −6.
4Calculate: (−2)^3.
A.−6
B.6
C.−8
D.8
Explanation: (−2)^3 means (−2) × (−2) × (−2). The first pair gives +4, then 4 × (−2) = −8. An odd power of a negative number is negative.
5Simplify: 3x + 2x − 4x.
A.−x
B.9x
C.x
D.5x
Explanation: Combine like terms by adding the coefficients: 3 + 2 − 4 = 1. So the expression simplifies to 1x, which is written simply as x.
6Find the value of 2a − 3b when a = 4 and b = −2.
A.14
B.2
C.−2
D.−14
Explanation: Substitute the values: 2(4) − 3(−2) = 8 + 6, because −3 × (−2) = +6. Therefore 8 + 6 = 14.
7Solve the equation: x + 7 = 3.
A.10
B.4
C.−10
D.−4
Explanation: Subtract 7 from both sides: x = 3 − 7 = −4. Check: −4 + 7 = 3, which is correct.
8Calculate: 12 ÷ (−3) + 5.
A.−9
B.1
C.9
D.−1
Explanation: Division comes before addition: 12 ÷ (−3) = −4. Then −4 + 5 = 1.
9Solve the equation: 3x − 5 = 16.
A.7
B.11/3
C.−7
D.63
Explanation: Add 5 to both sides: 3x = 21. Divide both sides by 3: x = 7. Check: 3(7) − 5 = 21 − 5 = 16.
10Solve the equation: 0.4x − 1 = 0.2x + 3.
A.10
B.15
C.20
D.40
Explanation: Subtract 0.2x from both sides: 0.2x − 1 = 3. Add 1: 0.2x = 4. Multiplying both sides by 5 (or dividing by 0.2) gives x = 20.

About the Akita Entrance Mathematics Exam

The Akita Public High School Entrance Examination mathematics paper is one of the five subject papers in the prefecture-wide academic examination administered by the Akita Prefectural Board of Education for admission to prefectural public high schools. Since the R5 (2023) reform Akita runs a single first-round recruitment in early March in which the tokushoku (specialty) and ippan (general) selections share the same five-subject academic examination: Japanese, mathematics, and English in 60 minutes each, science and social studies in 50 minutes each, every subject scored out of 100 points. The mathematics paper follows the MEXT Course of Study for junior high school and covers numbers and algebra (through quadratic equations and square roots), functions (through y = ax^2), plane and solid geometry (including congruence, similarity, the inscribed angle theorem, and the Pythagorean theorem), and data analysis with probability; part of the paper is chosen by each high school under the problem-choice system. Results are combined with the junior-high school report (chousasho, weighted across all three school years) and an interview; there is no single passing score. This page provides 100 original English-language practice items, including real calculation questions, as a study adaptation — original items, not official past problems.

Assessment

The real Akita mathematics subject is one of the five academic subjects (kokugo, shakai, suugaku, rika, eigo) of the prefecture-wide entrance examination administered in a single first-round recruitment (ichiji boshuu) in early March. Since the R5 (2023) reform the tokushoku and ippan selections share the same problems on the same day. The mathematics paper lasts 60 minutes and is scored out of 100 points, following the four MEXT junior-high strands — numbers and expressions, functions, figures, and utilization of data — with items ranging from one-line computations to multi-step reasoning, and part of the paper selected by each high school (mondai sentaku-sei). This local bank is an English-language study adaptation aligned to the same curriculum content, including genuine calculation items; the items are original and are not official past problems, and the MCQ format does not reproduce the official written-response work.

Time Limit

60 minutes for the mathematics subject paper (unchanged in the published R9 / 2027 question-creation policy)

Passing Score

No fixed pass mark; each subject paper is scored out of 100 points and admission combines the academic test total with the junior-high school report (chousasho) and an interview through each school's correlation table (soukan-hyou)

Exam Fee

JPY 2,200 entrance examination fee for the full-time course; JPY 950 for the part-time course (Akita Prefectural High School Tuition and Fees Collection Ordinance) (Akita Prefectural Board of Education)

Akita Entrance Mathematics Study Tips from Top Performers

1Master the full algebra chain in order: expansion, factorization, square roots, then quadratic equations — later topics reuse earlier skills.
2For functions, always compute the rate of change and check intercepts; most entrance-exam function items reduce to these two moves.
3In geometry, mark given equal sides and angles on the figure before choosing a theorem; similarity and the inscribed angle theorem are the highest-frequency tools.
4For probability, list outcomes systematically with a table or tree diagram instead of counting in your head.
5Practice under a 60-minute cap and show working even in MCQ practice, because the official paper grades written steps.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the real Akita mathematics entrance paper multiple-choice?

No. The official paper is answered in writing, mixing short computations with multi-step constructed responses, and part of it is chosen by each high school under the problem-choice system (mondai sentaku-sei). The MCQs here are an English-language study adaptation; work each problem out in full on paper instead of eliminating options.

How long is the Akita mathematics paper and how is it scored?

The mathematics paper lasts 60 minutes and is scored out of 100 points. Admission combines all five subject results (500 points in total) with the junior-high school report (chousasho) and an interview through each school's correlation table; there is no fixed passing score.

Does this bank include real calculation questions?

Yes. A substantial share of the bank requires actual computation — equation solving, expansion, probability counting, and geometric measurement — with worked explanations for every option.

Who administers the exam and what does it cost?

The Akita Prefectural Board of Education administers the selection. The entrance examination fee set by the prefectural ordinance is JPY 2,200 for the full-time course and JPY 950 for the part-time course.

What is the problem-choice system in Akita mathematics?

Under the mondai sentaku-sei, each high school designates part of the mathematics problems that its applicants must solve, so two applicants to different schools can answer slightly different problem sets on the same day. Check the target school's announcement for which problems it selects.
