24,589 is the sum of \(20,000; 4,000; 500; 80;\) and 9

4- C
\(A = 44 – (21 + 9)\)
\(A = 14\)

5- C
In 1 day 4 meals so \(4 × 7 = 28\) meals a week.

6- D
\(A = 72 ÷ 8\)
\(A= 9 \)

7- D
the model for the first fraction is divided into 6 equal parts. We shade 3_6 to show the same amount as 1_2. The model for the second fraction is divided into 8 equal parts. We shade 3_ 8 that it shows this two model are different fractions.

8- C
The arrow shows exactly the middle of two numbers 25 and 35, so the answer is 30

9- 12
\(108 ÷ 9 = 12\)

10- C
the model for the first fraction is divided into 8 equal parts. We shade 2_ 8 to show the same amount as 1_ 4. The model for the second fraction is divided into 16 equal parts. We shade 4_ 16 to show the same amount as 1_ 4.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the NWEA MAP test?

NWEA MAP Growth is a computer-adaptive test that many schools give in fall, winter and spring to see what a student knows and how much they grow during the year. Questions get harder or easier based on each answer, so two third graders sitting side by side see different items. Results come as a RIT score, which lets teachers track your child’s math progress from grade to grade.

What is a good score on the NWEA MAP test?

A good MAP score depends on grade and season, so compare your child’s RIT score with national norms for the same time of year. For 3rd grade math, the national median is roughly the high 180s in fall and about 200 by spring. The percentile on the report tells you more than the raw number: the 50th percentile is average, and steady growth between fall and spring matters most.

How do I study for the MAP test in 3rd grade?

Short, regular practice works best for an 8-year-old: 15 to 20 minutes a day for a few weeks before each testing window. Start with multiplication and division facts through 10 × 10, then mix in fractions, area, time and bar-graph questions. Have your child explain each answer out loud, for example why 108 ÷ 9 = 12, and practice a few questions on a computer so the clicking format feels familiar.

What math is on the 3rd grade MAP test?

The 3rd grade MAP math test draws from four areas: Number and Operations, Operations and Algebraic Thinking, Measurement and Data, and Geometry. In practice that means multiplication, division, place value, fractions such as comparing 2/8 and 4/16, area and perimeter, telling time, and reading graphs. Because the test adapts, a strong student may also see some 4th grade level questions.

Where can I find NWEA MAP 3rd grade math practice?

Free sample questions that match the MAP strands are a good starting point, especially ones with worked answers you can review together. Use them to spot weak topics, then practice those for a week or two before trying another set. NWEA also offers short practice tests through its student login site, which help your child get used to the on-screen tools before test day.
