Mathematics Quiz
Report
A
quiz is a form of game or mind sport in which the players (as individuals or in
teams) attempt to answer questions correctly.
In some countries, a quiz is also a brief assessment used in education
and similar fields to measure growth in knowledge, abilities and/or skills.
Quizzes are usually scored in points
and many are designed to determine a winner from a group of participants –
usually the participant with the highest score. Quizzes
may be held on a variety of subjects or subject-specific. The format of the quiz can also vary widely.
