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

What is on the Ohio State Test for 3rd grade math?

The grade 3 Ohio State Test in math covers Ohio’s Learning Standards: multiplication and division within 100, place value and rounding, adding and subtracting within 1,000, fractions on a number line, area and perimeter, time and measurement, and shapes. Word problems appear throughout, so careful reading matters as much as knowing facts like 18 × 40 = 720.

Is there an Ohio 3rd grade math practice test?

Yes. Ohio posts free online practice tests on its state testing portal, so your 3rd grader can try the real format, such as dragging answers or typing numbers, before spring. Since grade 3 is the first year of Ohio’s State Tests, a practice run helps the screen feel familiar. Add a paper practice set at home for extra review of multiplication and fractions.

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

The official Ohio practice tests are online, but printable grade 3 math practice sets in PDF form suit quiet at-home sessions. Look for one aligned to Ohio’s Learning Standards with worked answers. A good warm-up item: which list has only even numbers? In 42, 18 and 30, every number ends in an even digit, so they are all even.

How are Ohio 3rd grade math test scores reported?

Ohio reports a scaled score and one of five performance levels: Limited, Basic, Proficient, Accelerated and Advanced. A scaled score of 700 marks Proficient, which means your child is meeting grade-level expectations. The family report also shows how your child did in each area of the math content, so you can see whether fractions or multiplication need more practice.

How can my 3rd grader practice for the Ohio state test?

A few short sessions a week work better than one long one. Make multiplication facts automatic first, since they support division, area and fractions. Then practice word problems like a lunch order: two meals at $10 and one at $8 cost 2 × 10 + 8 = $28. Finish with a practice test so your child is used to the Ohio State Test format.
