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 these two models 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 on the Ohio State Test for 3rd grade math?

Ohio’s 3rd grade math test follows Ohio’s Learning Standards: multiplication and division within 100, fractions on a number line, equivalent fractions, place value, area and perimeter of rectangles, time, measurement and multi-step word problems. Students answer online using multiple choice, multi-select, drag-and-drop and typed responses, and no calculator is used at this grade, so fact fluency really helps.

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

Yes. The Ohio Department of Education and Workforce posts practice tests and sample items for Ohio’s State Tests, and many families print sample questions to work on at the kitchen table. Printable practice is great for showing work on paper, but also try the online practice site so your third grader gets comfortable with drag-and-drop and equation-entry questions.

How are Ohio 3rd grade math test scores reported?

Ohio reports a scale score and one of five performance levels: Limited, Basic, Proficient, Accelerated and Advanced. Proficient is the on-grade-level target most schools aim for. In 3rd grade the reading test carries more weight for promotion, so a lower math score usually leads to extra support rather than holding a child back.

How do I get my child’s Ohio State Test scores?

Your child’s school or district shares the Ohio State Test score report, usually on paper or through the district’s parent portal once results are released after spring testing. If you have not received it, ask the teacher or school office. The report shows the performance level and how your child did in each area, such as operations or fractions.

Is MAP testing required in Ohio?

No, NWEA MAP is not a state requirement in Ohio. The required tests are Ohio’s State Tests, which 3rd graders take in math and English language arts. Many Ohio districts choose MAP or a similar tool for fall, winter and spring check-ins, so your child may take both: MAP to track growth and the state test to measure grade-level mastery.
