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 a 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 table too, so in total there are \(39 + 24 = 63\) cards on table

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

20- D
\(64 ÷ 8 = 8\)

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there an NYS 3rd grade math practice test PDF?

Yes. The New York State Education Department releases a portion of each year’s grade 3 math test questions, and you can download and print them. A free practice set like this one helps too, because every question comes with a worked explanation. Print it, have your child work without a calculator, and then go over each answer together.

Where can I find NYS grade 3 math test released questions?

Released questions for the NYS grade 3 math test are posted on the New York State Education Department (NYSED) website, usually with an answer key and notes on the standard each question measures. Because released items use the real test wording, try a few after your child finishes a practice set, paying special attention to short-response items where students must show their work.

What is on the NYS grade 3 math state test?

The NYS grade 3 math test follows New York’s Next Generation Mathematics Learning Standards: multiplication and division within 100, place value and rounding, fractions on a number line, area and perimeter, time, and measurement. Word problems show up often. For example, if Noah packs 18 boxes with 40 crayons each, he packs 18 × 40 = 720 crayons.

How do I use an NYS math practice test for grade 3?

Treat the NYS math practice test as a calm rehearsal. Let your child work through it in one sitting without a calculator, then check answers together and sort mistakes by topic. If most misses are fraction questions, spend a week on fractions before trying another set. Repeat a few weeks before the spring test to see what has improved.

Are there free grade 3 math worksheets for NYS test prep?

Yes. Free grade 3 math worksheets pair well with New York test prep because they let your child practice one skill at a time. Choose worksheets on multiplication facts, rounding to the nearest 10 or 100, and comparing fractions. For example, 347 rounded to the nearest 10 is 350, and rounded to the nearest 100 it is 300.
