Answers:
1- D
Use the formula for the volume of a cube.
Voluem\(=\) length \(×\) width\( ×\) height\( ⇒ V= 6 × 4 × 8 ⇒ V=192 \space\)\( cm^3\)
2- D
Find the area of the room, which is a square. Use the area of a square formula.
\(S= a^2 ⇒ S= 18\) feet \(× 18\) feet \(= 324\) square feet
3- D
Use the percent formula:
part\( =\frac{percent}{100}× \)whole
\(600 =\frac{percent}{100}× 2400⇒ 600=\) percent \(× 24 ⇒\)percent\(=25 \)
4- A
Use the formula for the area of a rectangle.
\(A= a × b ⇒ A= 54 × 12 ⇒ A= 648\)
Divide the area by 9 (\(3 × 3 = 9\) squares) to find the number of squares needed. \(648 ÷ 9 = 72\)
5- C
ABC Corporation’s income \(= \frac{2}{3}\) management’s predicted income.
\($200,000 = \frac{2}{3}\) management’s predicted income
management’s predicted income \(= $200,000×\frac{3}{2} =$300,000\)
6- A
Write the numbers in order:
\(9, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 18\)
Median is the number in the middle. Therefore, the median is 11.
7- 29
Use PEMDAS (order of operation):
\(9 + [8 × 5] ÷ 2 = 9 + (40) ÷ 2 = 9 + (40 ÷ 2) = 29\)
8- B
Write the numbers in order:
\(4, 5, 8, 9, 13, 15, 18\)
Median is the number in the middle. Therefore, the median is 9.
9- 500
Use the volume of a cylinder formula.
Voluem\(=\) base \(×\) heigth \(⇒ V=50 × 10 ⇒ V=500\)
10- C
13 yards 13-yard-long rope is cut into 4 equal parts. Therefore, 13 should be divided by 4. Only option C is NOT 13 divided by 4. (It is 4 divided by 13)

Frequently Asked Questions
How many sample questions are on this page?
About 10 questions, designed for a quick 15-20 minute practice session. It’s a warm-up — not a full-length test. Use it to build confidence before tackling a complete practice exam closer to FSA test day.
Are these questions calculator-free?
Yes. These mirror Session 1 of the real FSA Math, which doesn’t allow a calculator. Have your child solve everything by hand — that’s the kind of practice that actually transfers to test day.
What topics do the sample questions cover?
Adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators, multiplying and dividing decimals, calculating volume of rectangular prisms, and plotting points on the coordinate plane (Quadrant I). These are the highest-weighted grade-5 topics on the FSA.
How should we use these sample questions?
Three good options: (1) as a warm-up before a full-length practice test, (2) as a quick weekly check-in during the 4-6 weeks leading up to testing, or (3) as a starting point to identify weak spots before more focused topic review. Sit beside your child the first time so you can talk through any confusion.
My child got most wrong — what now?
That’s actually useful data, not a problem. The wrong answers tell you exactly which topics need work. Pick the single topic with the most errors, spend 2-3 sessions reviewing it with worked examples, then come back and redo just those questions. Confidence builds when kids see improvement on the same items.
Do these include answer explanations?
Yes — short worked-out solutions at the bottom of the page. The explanations show the steps, not just the final answer, so your child can see where their thinking went off if they got it wrong.
How is this different from the full-length FSA practice test?
The sample set is a 10-question warm-up. The full-length practice test runs 60-70 questions across two sessions, with a calculator allowed on Session 2. Use the sample to build comfort with question style; use the full test closer to FSA day to build stamina.
Is the FSA Math test online or paper?
Computer-based for most Florida districts. Some schools still offer paper versions for accommodations or small populations. The on-screen tools include a basic calculator (Session 2 only), an equation editor, and a digital protractor for some items.
When is the Grade 5 FSA Math given?
During the Florida spring testing window, typically late April through early May. Exact dates vary by district. Your child’s school sends home a testing schedule a few weeks ahead; check with the teacher if you haven’t received it.
Where can I find more practice?
EffortlessMath has a full-length 5th Grade FSA Math practice test, a Top 10 FSA Math practice questions page for quick drills, the 5th Grade FSA Math for Beginners workbook, and the FSA Grade 5 Math Test Prep Bundle with multiple timed practice tests.
