About this resource
This quiz covers imaginary and complex numbers, targeting students in grades 9-12 who are learning Algebra 2 or Pre-Calculus concepts. The questions systematically build from basic operations with imaginary numbers to more sophisticated applications. Students must understand that i represents the square root of -1, master the fundamental property that i² = -1, and apply the cyclic pattern of powers of i (i¹ = i, i² = -1, i³ = -i, i⁴ = 1). The core skills assessed include simplifying expressions with imaginary numbers, performing arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication) with complex numbers in standard form a + bi, recognizing and applying the conjugate pairs formula (a + bi)(a - bi) = a² + b², and solving quadratic equations that yield complex solutions. Students also need to identify complex conjugates and work with higher powers of i by recognizing the repeating cycle every fourth power. Created by Jennifer Pisapia, a Mathematics teacher in US who teaches grade 9-12. This quiz provides comprehensive practice for students mastering one of the most challenging topics in intermediate algebra. Teachers can effectively use this as a formative assessment to gauge student understanding before moving to more advanced complex number applications, or as targeted practice after introducing each concept incrementally. The progression from basic simplification to complex multiplication makes it ideal for homework assignments that reinforce classroom instruction, while the variety of problem types supports differentiated review sessions. This assessment aligns with Common Core standards A-APR.1 for polynomial arithmetic and A-CED.2 for solving equations, as well as supporting the foundational work needed for A-REI.4b in completing the square with complex solutions. The quiz format allows for quick identification of common misconceptions, particularly around the powers of i and complex conjugate recognition, making it valuable for targeted remediation or as a warm-up activity to activate prior knowledge before advancing to complex number graphing or polar form.
