A pattern begins 2, 4, 6, 8. What is the rule?
Choose an answer to see the worked solution.
Worked solutionEach number is 2 more than the one before it: 4 − 2 = 2, 6 − 4 = 2, and 8 − 6 = 2. The rule is add 2 each time.
Grade 3 North Carolina EOG Math Practice
Grade 3 practice covers the 14 standards NCDPI assesses at the three NC Check-Ins. The End-of-Grade test has 40 scored questions (20 without a calculator, 20 with one) across four domains: Measurement and Data, Geometry; Number and Operations in Base Ten; Number and Operations – Fractions; and Operations and Algebraic Thinking.

Try three items
Pick an answer to see the worked solution.
A photo frame is 8 units long and 3 units wide. What is its perimeter in units?
Choose an answer to see the worked solution.
Worked solutionPerimeter walks all the way around, so add every side: 8 + 3 + 8 + 3 = 22 units.
A student says every rectangle is a square. Why is that wrong?
Choose an answer to see the worked solution.
Worked solutionA square must have four right angles AND four equal sides. A rectangle only has to have the right angles, so a 2 by 5 rectangle is a rectangle and not a square — its long sides beat its short ones by 5 − 2 = 3 units, and a square's cannot differ at all. The statement is true the other way round: every square is a rectangle.
Teacher questions
When should I use each part?
Assign each practice set as you teach its topics, then give the full-length practice test once everything has been taught.
Are these actual state test questions?
No. Every item is original and aligned to the published standards. Nothing is copied from a state test, a released item or a reference sheet.
