Answers:

2- D
\(18 × 40 = 720\)

3- 42
3 spaghetti 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, the 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 which means his marbles decreased then he lost 116 of his marbles which 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 completely shaded triangles and half of 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
\(64 ÷ 8 = 8\)

What is a typical 3rd grade MAP math score?

MAP Growth reports a RIT score, not a percent correct. NWEA’s 2025 norms give these average (mean) grade 3 math scores:

A score near the average for the season means your child is on track compared with other third graders nationally. What matters most is growth from fall to spring. A 3rd grader whose score rises by about 15 points over the year is growing at roughly the typical rate shown by these averages. Your child’s report also shows a percentile, which compares their score with other students in the same grade and season.

How to use this practice test

1. Do the 20 questions in one sitting, without help, and note the time.
2. Check the answers and sort any mistakes by domain: operations and algebraic thinking, number and operations, measurement and data, or geometry.
3. Pick the domain with the most mistakes and practice that skill for a few short sessions.
4. Retry the questions your child missed a week later to see if the skill stuck.

Short, regular practice tends to help more than one long session the night before.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I find free 3rd grade MAP math test practice?

A free 20-question 3rd grade MAP-style math practice test with worked answers is available here, covering operations and algebraic thinking, number and operations, measurement and data, and geometry. Give your child about 30 to 40 minutes, then go over each missed question together. The real MAP Growth test is adaptive, so focus on the skills behind the misses, not the score.

What is a good 3rd grade MAP test score?

MAP Growth reports a RIT score instead of a percent. Under NWEA’s 2025 norms, the average grade 3 math score is about 184 in fall and about 199 in spring, so a score near those marks is typical for the season. Growth matters as much as the number, so compare your child’s fall and spring scores rather than judging one test alone.

What is on the 3rd grade MAP math test?

The 3rd grade MAP math test covers four strands: Operations and Algebraic Thinking, Number and Operations, Measurement and Data, and Geometry. Expect multiplication and division within 100, fractions on a number line, area and perimeter, telling time, reading bar graphs and identifying shapes. Because it adapts, a strong student may also see some grade 4 skills.

Are there free MAP 3rd grade sample questions?

Yes. Here is one typical style: Noah packs 18 boxes of crayons with 40 crayons in each box. How many crayons is that? Multiply 18 × 4 = 72, then add a zero for the tens, so 18 × 40 = 720 crayons. The free practice set here includes questions like this on money, even numbers, measurement and shapes, with the answers explained.

How do you round to the nearest 10 and 100 in 3rd grade?

Look at the digit just to the right of the place you are rounding to. If it is 5 or more, round up; if it is 4 or less, keep the digit the same. For 467, the ones digit is 7, so it rounds to 470 to the nearest 10. The tens digit is 6, so it rounds to 500 to the nearest 100. Rounding shows up often on 3rd grade MAP.
