FSA Practice Test (3rd Grade: Math)

Question 1

Which of the following multiplication facts is being modeled?

Accepted Answer

3 x 9 = 27

Answer

A multiplication model typically illustrates equal groups or an array. If the model displays three distinct groups, each containing nine items, or an array with three rows and nine columns, it visually represents the multiplication fact 3 x 9. The product of 3 and 9 is 27.

Question 2

Bea wants to save $140 to buy her favorite bike.
- She was able to save $36 in January.
- She put aside $28 in February.
In March, how much money does Bea need to save in order to buy her favorite bike?

Accepted Answer

$76

Answer

First, calculate the total amount Bea has saved: $36 (January) + $28 (February) = $64. Then, subtract this saved amount from her total goal to find out how much more she needs: $140 (goal) - $64 (saved) = $76. Therefore, Bea needs to save $76 more.

Question 3

Flashcards are packed into 14 boxes by Gabriel. There are 40 flashcards in each box. What is the maximum number of flashcards Gabriel can fit into these boxes?

Accepted Answer

560

Answer

To find the maximum number of flashcards, multiply the number of boxes by the number of flashcards in each box. Gabriel has 14 boxes, and each box contains 40 flashcards. Multiplying 14 by 40 (14 x 40) gives a total of 560 flashcards.

Question 4

What is the value of the equation's unknown number 6 x 3 = __ ?

Accepted Answer

18

Answer

The equation 6 x 3 = __ asks for the product of 6 and 3. Multiplication is a shortcut for repeated addition. Adding 6 three times (6 + 6 + 6) or adding 3 six times (3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3) both result in the value of 18.

Question 5

The Millers traveled 362 miles.
What is 362 rounded to the nearest hundred?

Accepted Answer

400

Answer

To round 362 to the nearest hundred, you look at the tens digit. Since the tens digit (6) is 5 or greater, you round up the hundreds digit. The hundreds digit (3) increases to 4, and the tens and ones digits become zeros, resulting in 400.
