About

This quiz focuses on ten-codes (also known as ten signals), the standardized radio communication codes used by law enforcement, emergency services, and other professional radio operators. Designed for middle to high school students (grades 6-12), this assessment tests memorization and recall of fundamental ten-codes from 10-1 through 10-10. Students need to demonstrate their knowledge of basic radio protocol terminology, understanding that these numeric codes serve as efficient shorthand for common operational messages like signal strength reports, service status updates, and communication directives. The quiz requires students to match each ten-code with its corresponding meaning, testing their ability to recall precise definitions for codes that communicate everything from "weak signal" and "busy" to "meal break" and "repeat." This foundational knowledge builds communication skills essential for students interested in public safety, emergency services, or amateur radio operations. Created by Anthony Sierra, a teacher in the US who teaches grades 6-13. This quiz serves as an excellent tool for building foundational knowledge in radio communications and public safety protocols. Teachers can effectively use this assessment as a warm-up activity to reinforce previously taught ten-code vocabulary, as homework to encourage independent study and memorization, or as a formative assessment to gauge student retention before moving to more complex communication procedures. The straightforward format makes it ideal for quick review sessions or as part of a larger unit on emergency services, public safety careers, or communication technology. This type of specialized vocabulary assessment aligns with career and technical education standards and supports students developing professional communication skills in public service fields.
