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

How do I prepare for the 3rd grade FAST test?

Start with multiplication facts, since 3rd grade FAST math leans on multiplication and division within 100. Practice a few minutes every day, then add one word problem, like 18 boxes holding 40 crayons each (18 × 40 = 720). Use the progress monitoring scores from PM1 in fall and PM2 in winter to choose topics before the spring PM3.

Does Florida have standardized testing?

Yes. Florida students take FAST (Florida Assessment of Student Thinking) in reading and math, which replaced the FSA in 2022-23. For 3rd graders, FAST math is given three times a year as progress monitoring, and the spring PM3 serves as the end-of-year result. Scores are reported in five achievement levels, with Level 3 meaning on grade level.

Is there a Florida FAST 3rd grade math practice test?

Yes. The Florida Department of Education offers free FAST sample test materials for grade 3 mathematics so your child can see the item types and practice the online tools. After that, a printable practice set adds review at home. Ask your child to read each question aloud and point to the key numbers before solving.

Is there a 3rd grade FAST math practice test with answers?

A practice test is most useful when it comes with answers and explanations, so you can see why a mistake happened, not just that it did. Look for 3rd grade sets aligned to Florida’s B.E.S.T. Standards. If your child misses a rounding question like 347 to the nearest ten, the explanation should show why the answer is 350.

Is there a free 3rd grade FAST math practice test PDF?

Yes, free printable 3rd grade math practice tests are available, and a PDF lets your child practice with a pencil away from the screen. Since the real FAST is taken on a computer, mix paper practice with Florida’s online sample tests. Keep paper sessions short, about 15 to 20 minutes, and go over the answers together right after.
