PARCC Grade 3 Math Practice Test Questions 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: 1. Steve had to pay a library fee. The amount he paid is shown below. How much did he pay?
- $2.84
- $2.59
- $2.74 (Correct answer)
- $2.69
Correct answer: $2.74
This is a math question requiring the student to sum the values of various currency denominations shown in a diagram (not provided). To arrive at $2.74, one must correctly identify and add up the values of all the coins and bills depicted, such as two dollar bills, three quarters, and four pennies.
Question 2: 2. What number sentence is illustrated by the diagram below?
- 32x4=128
- 32-4=28
- 32÷4=8 (Correct answer)
- 32+4=36
Correct answer: 32÷4=8
This math question asks to identify the number sentence represented by a diagram (not provided). The diagram would visually illustrate the division of 32 items into 4 equal groups, with 8 items in each group. This visual representation directly corresponds to the division equation 32 ÷ 4 = 8.
Question 3: 3. Which shape has a number of vertices that is equal to two times the number of vertices found on a triangle?
- A.
- B.
- C. (Correct answer)
- D.
Correct answer: C.
A triangle has 3 vertices. The question asks for a shape with a number of vertices equal to two times that of a triangle, which is 2 * 3 = 6 vertices. Therefore, the correct shape (C, not provided) must be a hexagon, as a hexagon is a polygon with exactly six vertices.
Question 4: 4. What is the perimeter of the figure shown below?
- 20 in
- 22 in (Correct answer)
- 24 in
- 21 in
Correct answer: 22 in
This math question requires calculating the perimeter of a given figure (not provided). The perimeter is the total distance around the outside of a shape, found by adding the lengths of all its sides. Assuming the figure's sides sum up to 22 inches, this is the correct perimeter.
Question 5: 5. What number does Point P represent?
- 10 1/4
- 10 1/2 (Correct answer)
- 10 1/3
- 10 3/4
Correct answer: 10 1/2
This math question involves interpreting a number line. Point P (not provided) is located exactly halfway between the whole numbers 10 and 11 on the number line. This position represents the mixed number 10 and 1/2, or 10.5.
