PARCC - Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers Grade 3 Math Practice Questions 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: What is 9 × 6?
- 48
- 54 (Correct answer)
- 63
- 45
Correct answer: 54
9 × 6 = 54. You can think of it as 9 groups of 6, or use the fact that 9 × 6 is the same as 10 × 6 − 6 = 60 − 6 = 54.
Question 2: There are 36 apples to be packed equally into 4 boxes. How many apples go in each box?
- 8
- 9 (Correct answer)
- 12
- 7
Correct answer: 9
36 ÷ 4 = 9. Dividing 36 equally among 4 boxes gives 9 apples per box, since 4 × 9 = 36.
Question 3: Which fraction is equal to one-fourth?
- 2/6
- 3/8
- 2/8 (Correct answer)
- 1/3
Correct answer: 2/8
2/8 simplifies to 1/4 because both the numerator and denominator can be divided by 2: 2 ÷ 2 = 1 and 8 ÷ 2 = 4.
Question 4: A class has 3 shelves of books with 8 books on each shelf. How many books are there in all?
- 11
- 24 (Correct answer)
- 18
- 22
Correct answer: 24
3 × 8 = 24. Multiplying the number of shelves (3) by the books per shelf (8) gives a total of 24 books.
Question 5: What is 345 + 278?
- 613
- 623 (Correct answer)
- 523
- 633
Correct answer: 623
345 + 278: ones place 5+8=13, write 3 carry 1; tens place 4+7+1=12, write 2 carry 1; hundreds place 3+2+1=6. Result is 623.
Question 6: Lisa has 52 stickers. She gives 17 to her friend. How many stickers does Lisa have left?
- 35 (Correct answer)
- 39
- 69
- 45
Correct answer: 35
52 − 17 = 35. Subtracting 17 from 52: 52 − 10 = 42, then 42 − 7 = 35.
