Frequently Asked Questions
What grades take the SBAC test?
Students in grades 3 through 8 and grade 11 take the Smarter Balanced (SBAC) math and English tests in states that use them. For sixth graders, the math test focuses on ratios, dividing fractions, negative numbers, expressions and equations, area and volume, and early statistics, all based on the grade 6 Common Core standards.
What is on the SBAC grade 6 math test?
The grade 6 SBAC math test covers ratios and rates, the number system (including dividing fractions and working with negative numbers), expressions and equations, geometry such as area and volume, and statistics. A typical question might ask how many boys are in a school of 765 students if the boy-to-girl ratio is 4:5. The answer is 765 ÷ 9 × 4 = 340.
What is the SBAC grade 6 performance task?
The performance task is a longer, real-world problem with several connected questions, such as planning a class trip budget or comparing unit rates. Sixth graders have to explain their reasoning and show work, not just pick an answer. Practicing with multi-step word problems and writing a short sentence to justify each step helps a lot.
Is there a 6th grade SBAC math practice test PDF?
Printable practice is easy to find, and the 10 questions above can be printed and worked on paper. Keep in mind that the real SBAC is taken on a computer, so also try your state’s official online practice test to get used to drag-and-drop, equation builder, and multi-select items before test day.
What do SBAC example questions look like for 6th grade?
Many are short problems like solving −60 = 115 − x (x = 175) or finding which ratio equals 91:21 (it simplifies to 13:3). Others ask students to choose every correct answer or type a number into a box. Reviewing a few examples of each format helps sixth graders feel calm when the item type changes.
Is the CAASPP 6th grade math test the same as SBAC?
Yes. In California, the CAASPP math test for grade 6 is the Smarter Balanced assessment, so SBAC practice questions fit California students too. The same grade 6 standards, item types, and performance task apply. California families can also use the official CAASPP practice and training tests online.
