Introductory exercise about set equality

Hello! This test an extra opportunity to complete some practice questions on the material we have covered so far. Your results will NOT count towards your final grade, and there is no time limit to complete the test. You can check your answers as you go along, and even try new examples of the same type. Full solutions are also available for most questions. If there are any questions you don't understand, take a photo and we can discuss it in class or at a one-to-one appointment.

Used for LANTITE preparation (Australia). MG = Measurement & Geometry strand. Two cube-shaped flowerpots are shown, and their lengths given. The larger pot is either double or triple the length of the smaller pot. Students must work out the volume of the larger pot given the smaller one. There are eight potential questions.
