Answers:
1- C
\(6\) quarters \(= 6 × 25\) pennies \(=150\) pennies
\(9\) dimes \(= 9 ×10 \)pennies \(= 90\) pennies
In total Nicole has 251 pennies
2- A
\(1\) issue\(= $4\)
How many issue? \(= $72\)
\($72 ÷ $4= 18\) issue
3- C
Use perimeter of triangle formula.
\(P = a + b + c\)
\(P = 12 + 15 + 16 = 43\) inches
4- C
Use perimeter of rectangle formula.
\(P = 2(L + W)\)
\(60 = 2(10+W) ⇒ 2W = 40 ⇒ W = 20 \)feet
5- B
An obtuse triangle is one with one obtuse angle (greater than 90\(^\circ\)) and two acute angles. Since a triangle’s angles must sum to 180\(^\circ\), no triangle can have more than one obtuse angle.
6- C
\(1\) foot \(= 0.333 \)yard
So \(36\) foot \(= 12\) yards \((36 × 0.33)\)
7- B
The sum of \(A\) and \(B\) equals \(35: A + B = 35\), if \(A = 16\) we have \(16 +B = 35\)
8- D
\(A = 108 ÷ 9 = 12\)
9- B
Sum of these three angle are 180\(^\circ\).
\(A^\circ + 80^\circ + 16^\circ = 180^\circ\)
\(A^\circ =180^\circ – 96^\circ = 84^\circ\)
10- C
Use perimeter of trapezoid formula.
\(P = a + b + c + d\)
\(P = 2+ 6 + 2+ 8 =18\)
11- B
Low temperature is 24\(^\circ\)f cooler than the temperature at 12:00 PM that is 76of, that means low temperature is 52\(^\circ\)f (76\(^\circ\)f \(-\) 24\(^\circ\)f) that is close to choice B
12- A
\((4 × 10) + (7 × 1) + (6 × 0.01) = 40 + 7 + 0.06 = 47.06\)
13- D
1 year \(=\) 365 days, 1 day \(=\) 24 hours
1 year \(=\) 365 × 24
1 year \(=\) 8,760
14- B
Each game = \(\frac{11}{2}\) hours = 90 minutes so 3 games = \(\frac{41}{2}\) hours = 270 minutes
5minutes between each game, so there is 10 minutes in total between 3 games.
She arrives 15 minutes before first game and left 10 minutes after the last game.
In total she was \(270+10+15+10 =305\) minutes at the soccer field.
15- A
You can find if a shape has a Line of Symmetry by folding it. When the folded part sits perfectly on top (all edges matching), then the fold line is a Line of Symmetry. Here the first shape shows a line of symmetry.
16- B
Find the least common denominator (LCD), then rewriting each term as an equivalent fraction with the LCD. Then we compare the numerators of each fraction and put them in correct order from least to greatest or greatest to least.
LCD of 2, 8, 4 and 16 is 16. Rewrite the input fractions as equivalent fractions using the LCD:
A. \(\frac{8}{16}\)
B. \(\frac{6}{16}\)
C. \(\frac{12}{16}\)
D. \(\frac{9}{16}\)
So choice B has the least value.
17- D
12 pastilles\(=\) 1 box
336 pastilles\(=\) (\(336 ÷12 = 28\)) boxes
18- 64
Use volume of cube formula:
V\(=a^3\)
V\(=4^3 =64\)
19- C
Arrow shows exactly the middle of two numbers 25 and 35, so the answer is 30
20- A
This shape shows 3 complete shaded triangles and a half of a triangle that is equal to \(3\frac{1}{2}\)

Frequently Asked Questions
How many questions are on the 4th Grade MAP test?
NWEA MAP Growth Grade 4 math has about 40-43 questions. Because it’s computer-adaptive, each child sees a slightly different set tuned to their ability. The test is untimed, but most fourth graders finish in 45-60 minutes. Schools typically give it in fall, winter, and spring to track growth.
Is a calculator allowed on the 4th Grade MAP?
No. NWEA does not allow calculators on the Grade 4 MAP Growth math test. Calculators become available on certain sections starting in grade 6. Your fourth grader should be comfortable doing multi-digit arithmetic and fraction operations by hand.
What’s a good MAP score for 4th grade math?
MAP reports a RIT score (Rasch Unit), with the national grade-4 fall median around 203 and spring median around 213-215. “On track” usually means scoring at or above the grade-level median. Anything in the 60th percentile or higher signals above-grade-level math skills.
When is the MAP test given?
Schools choose their own MAP schedule, but most give it 2-3 times per year: fall (September), winter (January), and spring (May). The fall test sets a baseline; winter and spring test growth. Your child’s school sends home a schedule each year.
How is the MAP scored?
MAP reports a RIT score (roughly 140-300 at grade 4) plus a national percentile rank that compares your child to other fourth-graders. Because it’s computer-adaptive, the RIT score is the best measure of growth across years rather than a simple raw-score percentage.
Can my child retake the MAP?
MAP is built for repeated testing – schools give it 2-3 times per year to measure growth. The fall, winter, and spring scores together show your child’s trajectory. There’s no “failing” the MAP, so retakes work differently than on most state tests.
What math topics are on the 4th Grade MAP?
NWEA designs MAP to align broadly with Common Core. The Grade 4 math test covers operations and algebraic thinking, number and operations in base ten (place value, multi-digit operations), number and operations – fractions (equivalent fractions, decimals), measurement and data (area, perimeter, angle), and geometry. Because the test is adaptive, your child may also see harder items normally taught in grade 5 or beyond.
How long should we study for the 4th Grade MAP?
MAP is meant to be more of a checkpoint than a high-stakes test, so heavy cramming isn’t necessary. A short 2-3 week tune-up with 15-20 minutes a day on the Common Core Grade 4 topics will help your child feel comfortable with the format and pacing.
Where can I find more 4th Grade MAP practice?
EffortlessMath has free worked-example lessons for every Common Core Grade 4 math topic MAP tests, plus the Common Core Mathematics Workbook for Grade 4 and a practice test bundle. The lessons below this practice cover the highest-frequency MAP topics.
Is the MAP aligned with Common Core?
Yes – MAP Growth is built to align with Common Core standards. Because it’s adaptive, items can stretch above or below grade level, but the core content matches Common Core Grade 4 math.
