Pick an answer to see the worked solution.
What does the fraction 58 mean as a division?
Choose an answer to see the worked solution.
Worked solutionThe bar in a fraction is a division sign: the numerator is shared among the denominator. So 58 is 5 ÷ 8, which is what you get sharing 5 things among 8 people.
A theater has 4 rows of 12 seats on the left side and 4 rows of 9 seats on the right side. Which expression gives the total number of seats?
Choose an answer to see the worked solution.
Worked solutionEach of the 4 rows has 12 + 9 = 21 seats across both sides, so the total is 4 × (12 + 9) = 4 × 21 = 84 seats. That equals 4 × 12 + 4 × 9 = 48 + 36 = 84. Writing 4 × 12 + 9 counts only one row of the right side.
Zoe fills a box with cubes. Some cubes have 1-centimeter edges, and some have 2-centimeter edges. There are no gaps. She counts 20 cubes and says the volume is 20 cubic centimeters. Which statement explains her mistake?
Choose an answer to see the worked solution.
Worked solutionCounting cubes gives cubic centimeters only when every cube is a unit cube, 1 centimeter on each edge. A cube with 2-centimeter edges holds 2 × 2 × 2 = 8 unit cubes, so each one is 8 cubic centimeters, not 1. Faces and square centimeters measure area, not volume.
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.
