Pick an answer to see the worked solution.
Which situation matches 24 ÷ 6?
Choose an answer to see the worked solution.
Worked solution24 ÷ 6 can mean 24 split into groups of 6. Putting 24 apples into bags of 6 makes 24 ÷ 6 = 4 bags. Picking 6 more is adding, and eating 6 is subtracting.
A school has 812 books. It gives away 275 books. Which is closest to the number of books the school has left?
Choose an answer to see the worked solution.
Worked solution812 is close to 800 and 275 is close to 300, so about 800 − 300 = 500 books are left. The exact number, 812 − 275 = 537, is closest to 500.
A rectangular dog run is 12 feet long and 5 feet wide. One of the long sides is already the wall of a shed, so fencing is only needed for the other three sides.
How many feet of fencing are needed?
Choose an answer to see the worked solution.
Worked solutionThe three sides that need fencing are one long side and the two short sides: 12 + 5 + 5 = 22 feet. The full perimeter, 34 feet, would also fence the shed wall. 29 feet fences both long sides and one short side, and 17 feet only two sides.
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.
What about calculators?
The practice follows the state's calculator rule for this grade: no calculator on either part of the test. Check your school's testing guidance for the current rules.
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.
