SBAC Grade 3 Math Practice Test 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Steve had to pay a library fee. The amount he paid is shown below.<br><br>How much did he pay?
- $2.84
- $2.59
- $2.74 (Correct answer)
- $2.69
Correct answer: $2.74
To determine the amount Steve paid, one would typically read the numerical value presented in the problem, likely from an image of a price tag or a written amount. The correct answer, $2.74, directly reflects the specific value indicated as the library fee.
Question 2: What number sentence is illustrated by the diagram below?
- 32×4=128
- 32-4=28
- 32÷4=8 (Correct answer)
- 32+4=36
Correct answer: 32÷4=8
The diagram (not provided, but implied by the answer) would illustrate 32 items being divided into 4 equal groups. If each group contains 8 items, this visually represents the division operation 32 ÷ 4 = 8, showing how a total quantity is split into equal parts.
Question 3: James drew the following connected squares and labeled them as Figure 1, Figure 2, and so on.<br><br>If he continues this pattern, how many squares will he use for Figure 9?
- 21
- 23
- 26 (Correct answer)
- 29
Correct answer: 26
To find the number of squares for Figure 9, we need to identify the pattern in the number of squares per figure. Assuming an arithmetic progression where each figure adds a constant number of squares (e.g., if Figure 1 has 2, Figure 2 has 5, Figure 3 has 8, adding 3 each time), continuing this pattern would lead to 26 squares for Figure 9.
Question 4: A teacher donates to a local charity. Each year, she donates three times the amount donated the previous year. If the teacher donated $2 the first year, how much did she donate during the fifth year?
- $158
- $164
- $162 (Correct answer)
- $144
Correct answer: $162
The teacher's donations follow a geometric progression, where each year's amount is three times the previous year's. Starting with $2 in the first year, the donations are: Year 1: $2; Year 2: $6; Year 3: $18; Year 4: $54; and Year 5: $162.
