What will the 2025 math problem be like?
The 10th grade math entrance exam will include the following knowledge streams: Geometry and measurement; numbers and algebra; statistics and probability.
The test content aims to assess mathematical abilities: Thinking and reasoning; problem solving; modeling. The test requires students to know how to apply the knowledge they have learned to solve practical problems; encourages self-study and creativity, avoiding the situation of learning by heart and rote. The test content helps students orient themselves to some necessary knowledge and skills when entering high school.
The exam structure is as follows:
Lesson 1. (1.5 points) Given the function y = ax2
a) Draw the graph (P) of the above function.
b) Find the points belonging to (P) that satisfy the given conditions.
Lesson 2. (1 point) Given the quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0
a) Find the condition for the equation to have a solution.
b) Applying Viete's formula, calculate the value of the expression related to the solutions.
Lesson 3. (1.5 points) Practical math problems related to probability and statistics.
Lesson 4. (1 point)
a) Write expression A representing a certain quantity x in a real-life problem.
b) Find the value of x so that A satisfies a certain condition.

Lesson 6. (1 point) Practical problems related to equations, inequalities, and systems of first-degree equations with two variables.
Lesson 7. (3 points) Plane geometry problem consists of 3 questions.
a) Prove that 4 points lie on a circle, the elements are parallel, perpendicular, equal...
b) Prove that the formula, elements are equal, collinear, concurrent...
c) Calculate length, perimeter, area, angle measurements...
How to do Math test in 2025?
Mr. Lam Vu Cong Chinh, Math Teacher (Nguyen Du High School) said that in the 10th grade Math exam in Ho Chi Minh City, questions related to practical factors account for a lot. This year is the first year of applying the 2018 General Education Program for 9th grade students. Therefore, there are a few notes for students when solving practical math questions in the exam. Specifically:
Read the question carefully, identify the important elements and requirements of the question.
Determine the relationship between the quantities in the problem.
Convert real-life problems into mathematical problems by setting unknowns, representing quantities with formulas, creating equations or systems of equations appropriate to the problem...
Apply the methods and mathematical formulas you have learned to find the solution. Then check the results to ensure their validity.
According to Mr. Chinh, the 10th grade math exam in Ho Chi Minh City is in essay form, so with familiar questions, it is necessary to present carefully, fully, with arguments, explanations, and perform the steps of drawing graphs as instructed by the teacher.
Mr. Chinh acknowledged that the structure of the 10th grade illustrative exam in 2025 in Ho Chi Minh City is not much different from the exam questions of previous years.
