Functions and Relations Practice Tests

These Grade 8 Math practice tests cover relations, mappings, function rules, domains, ranges, function notation, graphs, tables, and real-world models.

Skills covered

  • Determining whether a relation is a function
  • Reading mappings, ordered pairs, tables, and graphs
  • Finding domains and ranges and applying the vertical line test
  • Evaluating function notation such as \(f(x)\)
  • Modeling ticket costs, temperature, population, pay, plans, and other relationships

How to use these practice tests

Identify the input and output first. Then check that each input has exactly one output, evaluate the rule carefully, and interpret the domain and range in context.
