2- C
\(2205÷315=\frac{2205}{315}=\frac{441}{63}=\frac{147}{21}= 7\)

3- B
\(112=22+x \)
Subtract 22 from both sides of the equation. Then:
\(x=112-22=90\)

4- D
Distance that car B travels \(=1.2 ×\) distance that car A travels
=\(1.2×221.5=265.8 \) km

5- D
The perimeter of the trapezoid is 38.
Therefore, the missing side (height) is \(= 38 – 8 – 10 – 11 = 9\)
Area of the trapezoid: \(A = \frac{1}{2} h (b_1 + b_2) = \frac{1}{2}1 (9) (8 + 10) = 81\)

6- D
A. \(3^1+12=3+12=15\)
B. \(3^3-3^2=27-9=18\)
C. \(3^4-60=81-60=21\)
D. \(3^5-218=243-218=25\)

7- B
Alfred has \(x\) apple which is 15 apples more than number of apples Alvin owns. Therefore:
\(x-15=40→x=40+15=55\)
Alfred has 55 apples.
Let \(y\) be the number of apples that Baron has. Then: \(y=\frac{1}{5}×55=11\)

8- A
Complementary angles add up to 180 degrees.
\( β+150^\circ=180^\circ→β=180^\circ-150^\circ=30^\circ\)
The sum of all angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. Then:
\(α+β+50^\circ=180^\circ→α+30^\circ+50^\circ=180^\circ\)
\(→α+80^\circ=180^\circ→α=180^\circ-80^\circ=100^\circ\)

9- C
Let \(x\) be the original price.
If the price of a laptop is decreased by \(15\%\) to $425, then:
\(85 \% \space of \space x=425⇒ 0.85x=425 ⇒ x=425÷0.85=500\)

10- C
Let \(x\) and \(y\) be two sides of the shape. Then:
\(x+1=1+1+1→x=2\)
\(y+6+2=5+4→y+8=9→y=1\)
Then, the perimeter is:
\(1+5+1+4+1+2+1+6+2+1=24\)

11- B
First, put the numbers in order from least to greatest: \(1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6\)
The Mode of the set of numbers is: 1 and 3 (the most frequent numbers)
Median is: 3 (the number in the middle)

12- C
\(x×92=x×(90+2)=(x×90)+(x×2)\)

13- C
The ratio of pens to pencils is \(3: 5\). Therefore there are 3 pens out of all 8 pens and pencils. To find the answer, first dived 96 by 8 then multiply the result by 3.
\(96÷8=12→12×3=36\)
There are 36 pens and 60 pencils \((96-36)\). Therefore, 24 more pens should be put in the box to make the ratio \(1: 1\)

14- D
If the value of point A is greater than the value of point B, then the distance of two points on the number line is: value of A- value of B
A. \(-\frac{24}{3}-(-13)=-8+13=5=5\)
B. \(-3-(-\frac{24}{3})=-3+8=5=5\)
C. \(-2-(-\frac{24}{3})=-2+8=6≠5\)

15- B
\(\frac{3}{13}≅0.23, \frac{5}{14}≅0.357, \frac{4}{11}≅0.36, \frac{2}{5}=0.4\)

16- B
Plugin the value of \(x\) in the equations. \(x = -4\), then:
A.\(x(3x-1)=50→-4(3(-4)-1)=-4(-12-1)=-4(-13)=52≠50\)
B. \(5(11-x^2 )=-25→5(11-(-4)^2 )= 5(11-16)=5(-5)=-25\)
C. \(3(-2x+5)=49→3(-2(-4)+5)=3(8+5)=39≠49\)
D. \(x(-5x-19)=-3→-4(-5(-4)-19=-4(20-19)=-4≠-3\)

17- 5
Let \(x\) be the missing prime factor of 450.
\(450= 2 × 3 × 3 × x ⇒ x =\frac{450}{18} ⇒ x = 25=5×5\)

18- C
Use Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse of the triangle.
\(a^2+b^2=c^2→6^2+8^2=c^2→36+64=c^2→100=c^2→c=10\)
The perimeter of the triangle is: \(6+8+10=24\)

19- C
Use percent formula:
\(Part = \frac{percent}{100} × whole\)
\(65= \frac{percent}{100} × 50⇒ 65 = \frac{percent ×50}{100}⇒ 65=\frac{percent ×5}{10}\)
multiply both sides by 10.
\(650 =percent ×5, \space divide \space both \space sides \space by \space 5.\)
130 = percent
The answer is \(130\%\)

20- A
Let’s check the options provided.
A. \(-10+(-8)+ (\frac{5}{2})×(-2)=-10+(-8)+(-5)=-10-13=-23\)
B. \(5×3+(-2)×18=15+(-38)=-21\)
C. \(-10+6×8÷(-4)=-10+48÷(-4)=-10-12=-22\)
D. \((-3)× (-7)+ 2=21+2=23\)

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 6th grade M-STEP?

The M-STEP is Michigan’s state test, which replaced the MEAP starting in spring 2015. Sixth graders take it online each spring in English language arts and math. The math test checks Michigan’s grade 6 standards, so MEAP-style practice still works well for the same ratio, fraction and equation skills.

What is on the 6th grade M-STEP math test?

The 6th grade M-STEP math test covers five domains: ratios and proportional relationships, the number system, expressions and equations, geometry, and statistics and probability. Expect unit rates, dividing fractions, negative numbers, greatest common factor problems, one-step equations, area of triangles and trapezoids, and mean and median. For example, if 112 = 22 + x, then x = 90.

Is there an M-STEP grade 6 mathematics sample?

Yes. The Michigan Department of Education posts M-STEP sample items and online practice tests so students can see the question types and testing tools. Use those alongside a 20-question grade 6 practice test with explanations. Let your child work untimed first, then review every miss and spend a few days on the weakest domain.

What are the 6th grade math content standards?

The 6th grade math standards set what students should learn by year’s end: understanding ratios and rates, dividing fractions by fractions, working with negative numbers and the coordinate plane, writing and solving one-variable equations, finding area, surface area and volume, and describing data with mean, median and measures of spread. Michigan’s grade 6 standards follow these same Common Core topics.
