Sample ZIMSEC Grade 7 Mathematics Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your ZIMSEC Grade 7 Mathematics exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1In the number 47 385, what is the place value of the digit 7?
A.7
B.70
C.700
D.7 000
Explanation: 47 385 has 4 ten-thousands, 7 thousands, 3 hundreds, 8 tens and 5 ones. The digit 7 therefore stands for 7 thousands, which is 7 000.
2A Mutare primary school has 236 girls and 248 boys. How many learners are there altogether?
A.474
B.484
C.512
D.22
Explanation: Add the two groups: 236 + 248. 200 + 200 = 400 and 36 + 48 = 84, so the total is 484 learners.
3Which of these whole numbers is the greatest?
A.8 076
B.8 706
C.8 670
D.8 067
Explanation: Compare digits from the left. All four numbers have 8 thousands. In the hundreds place, 8 706 has 7, which is greater than 6, 0 and 0. So 8 706 is the greatest.
4A Mbare vendor cuts a loaf into 8 equal slices and sells 3 slices. What fraction of the loaf is sold?
A.3/8
B.5/8
C.3/5
D.8/3
Explanation: The whole loaf is 8 equal parts and 3 of those parts are sold. The fraction sold is therefore 3/8.
5Write the fraction 3/10 as a decimal.
A.0.03
B.0.3
C.3.10
D.0.13
Explanation: Tenths are the first digit after the decimal point. 3/10 means 3 tenths, which is written 0.3.
6Chipo finishes a school sports-day race after 6 other learners have already finished. In which position does she finish?
A.6th
B.5th
C.7th
D.8th
Explanation: Six learners finish before Chipo, so she is the next finisher. Her ordinal position is 7th.
7A Gweru mill recorded 4 682 kg of maize. Round this mass to the nearest hundred kilograms.
A.4 600 kg
B.4 680 kg
C.4 700 kg
D.5 000 kg
Explanation: The hundreds digit is 6 and the tens digit is 8. Because 8 is 5 or more, 4 682 rounds up to 4 700 kg.
8Write 5 046 in expanded form.
A.5 000 + 40 + 6
B.5 000 + 400 + 6
C.5 000 + 40 + 60
D.500 + 40 + 6
Explanation: 5 046 is 5 thousands, 0 hundreds, 4 tens and 6 ones. In expanded form that is 5 000 + 40 + 6.
9In 306 518, what is the difference between the value of the digit 3 and the value of the digit 5?
A.299 500
B.300 500
C.295 000
D.3 000
Explanation: The 3 is in the hundred-thousands place, so its value is 300 000. The 5 is in the hundreds place, so its value is 500. The difference is 300 000 − 500 = 299 500.
10A school garden uses 2/5 of its beds for maize. Which fraction is equivalent to 2/5?
A.2/10
B.4/10
C.5/2
D.3/6
Explanation: Multiply numerator and denominator of 2/5 by 2 to get 4/10. 4/10 and 2/5 name the same part of the garden.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is ZIMSEC Grade 7 Mathematics 7020?

It is the national Grade 7 Mathematics examination administered by ZIMSEC. Code 7020 appears on ZIMSEC’s June 2026 examiner-recruitment notice.

What topics are assessed?

The MoPSE Mathematics Junior (Grade 3–7) syllabus organises content as Number, Operations, Measures and Relationships (including data handling). Official percentage weights are not published.

Are these official exam questions?

No. They are free study questions written for this site. Official Mathematics 7020 Paper 1 is genuinely a 40-item four-option multiple-choice paper, so the item type matches, but these are not ZIMSEC papers and they do not replace the Paper 2 shown-working questions.

Can I use a calculator?

No. The official Paper 2 instructions state that electronic calculators and slide rules must not be used, and candidates must not measure from given diagrams. Practise mental and written methods.

What currency should I practise with?

Use United States dollars (USD) and name the currency in the item. ZIMSEC quotes Grade 7 examination fees in USD.

When is the 2026 Grade 7 Mathematics exam?

Paper 1 is sat on Tuesday 22 September 2026 and Paper 2 on Wednesday 30 September 2026, both 2 hours in the 0900 hrs morning session. Grade 7 results are published in the last week of November 2026.
