PARCC - Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers Grade 3 Math Practice Questions 1

Question 1

What is 9 × 6?

Accepted Answer

54

Answer

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?

Accepted Answer

9

Answer

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?

Accepted Answer

2/8

Answer

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?

Accepted Answer

24

Answer

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?

Accepted Answer

623

Answer

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.
