Answers:

2- D
\(18 × 40 = 720\)

3- 42
3spaghetti with meatballs cost: \(3 × $10 = $30\)
2bowls of bean soup cost: \(2 × $6 = $12\)
3spaghetti with meatballs \(+\) 2bowls of bean soup cost: \($30 + $ 12 = $42\)

4- C
\(25 × 50 = 1250\)

5- 750
We round the number up to the nearest ten if the last digit in the number is 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9.
We round the number down to the nearest ten if the last digit in the number is 1, 2, 3, or 4.
If the last digit is 0, then we do not have to do any rounding, because it is already to the ten.
Therefore, rounded number of 745 to the nearest ten is 750.

6- C
\(1\) hour \(= 60\) minutes
\(6\) hours\( = 6 × 60\) minutes\(⇒ 6\) hours\( = 360\) minutes

7- C
\(55 × 14 = 770\)

8- A
The model for the fraction is divided into 100 equal parts. We shade 88 parts of these 100 parts that it’s equal to \(\frac{88}{100}\)

9- B
\(12 × 8 = 96\)

10- C
Subtract 109 red cards and 88 white cards. The answer is 21

11- A
\(3 × 7 \space ⎕ \space 6 = 126\)
\(21\space ⎕\space 6= 126 ⇒ 126=21×6\)

12- B
Liam gave 455 of his marbles to his friend that means his marbles decreased then he lost 116 of his marbles that means his marbles decreased again.

13- D
\(33 + B + 8 = 66 ⇒ 41+B =66 ⇒ B =66 – 41 =25\)

14- C
If he eats 6 meals in 1 day.
So in a week (7 days) he eats \((7 × 6 = 42)\) meals.

15- A
All these fractions; \(\frac{3}{9},\frac{5}{15},\frac{24}{72}\) after simplification are equivalent to \(\frac{1}{3}\).

16- A
This shape shows 3 complete shaded triangles and half a triangle that is equal to \(3\frac{1}{2}\)

17- C
Perimeter of square formula \(= 4 ×\) side \(⇒ 24 = 4 ×\) side \(⇒\) side \(= 6\)

18- B
3 rows that have 13 red cards in each row means: \(3 × 13 = 39\) red cards
And there are 24 white cards on the table too, so in total there are \(39 + 24 = 63\) cards on the table

19- A
Simplify \(\frac{4}{10}\) that’s equal to \(\frac{2}{5}\)

20- D
\(64 ÷ 8 = 8\)

Frequently Asked Questions

Is FSA still given in Florida?

No. FSA was retired after the 2021-22 school year. Florida now uses FAST (Florida Assessment of Student Thinking), which is given three times a year (fall PM1, winter PM2, spring PM3) as progress monitoring rather than a single end-of-year test. The grade 3 math content is similar to the old FSA.

How many questions are on the 3rd Grade FAST Math test?

Each FAST progress monitoring (PM) administration at grade 3 has about 25-35 items, depending on the window. This free practice gives your child 20 sample questions that cover the same content in one focused sitting.

Is a calculator allowed on the 3rd Grade Florida Math test?

No. Calculators are not permitted on the Grade 3 FAST Math. The grade 3 content is designed to test computational fluency — addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division — without any tools. Practice fact fluency throughout the year.

How long is the 3rd Grade FAST Math test?

Each PM session has a 70-90 minute time limit. Most third graders finish well within the time. Since FAST is computer-adaptive, the exact length depends on how your child is answering — the test ends when it has gathered enough information to set a score.

How is the FAST Math scored?

Each grade gets a scale score and one of five Achievement Levels: Level 1 (Inadequate) through Level 5 (Mastery). Level 3 is the grade-level proficiency target — most Florida schools aim for Level 3 or above on the end-of-year PM3.

What topics are on the 3rd Grade FAST Math?

Number sense and operations (place value, multi-digit addition/subtraction, multiplication and division within 100), algebraic reasoning (one- and two-step word problems, patterns), fractions (understanding, equivalence, comparison), measurement (time, mass, volume, area, perimeter), and geometry (shape attributes, partitioning).

Can my child retake the 3rd Grade FAST Math?

FAST is given three times per year (PM1, PM2, PM3), so each window is essentially the next checkpoint. Individual retakes within a window aren’t typical unless there was a clear issue like illness or a tech problem during testing.

How long should we prepare for the 3rd Grade FAST Math?

For most third graders, 4-6 weeks of light practice at 15-20 minutes a day is plenty before each PM window. If multiplication facts aren’t yet automatic, spend the first 2 weeks on fact fluency before tackling word problems.

Is FAST aligned to Common Core?

Florida moved away from Common Core in 2020 and adopted the BEST (Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking) standards. The grade 3 math content is similar in scope to CCSS 3.OA, 3.NBT, 3.NF, 3.MD, and 3.G, but with Florida-specific wording and a few rearrangements of when topics are introduced.

Where can I find more 3rd Grade Florida math practice?

EffortlessMath has step-by-step lessons for every grade 3 math topic the FAST tests, plus the grade 3 Common Core workbook (which covers the same content) and additional full-length grade 3 practice tests.
