About the FAST Math Grade 5 Exam
The Florida Assessment of Student Thinking (FAST) Grade 5 Mathematics test is a statewide, computer-adaptive progress-monitoring assessment aligned to Florida's B.E.S.T. (Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking) Mathematics standards. Fifth graders take it three times a year, PM1 in the fall, PM2 in the winter, and PM3 in the spring, so teachers can track growth toward grade-level proficiency. Each administration contains roughly 35 to 40 scored items distributed across four reporting categories: Number Sense and Operations with Whole Numbers; Number Sense and Operations with Fractions and Decimals; Algebraic Reasoning; and Geometric Reasoning, Measurement, and Data Analysis and Probability. The grade-5 content focuses on decimal operations to the thousandths, multiplying and dividing fractions, the volume of right rectangular prisms, the first-quadrant coordinate plane, order of operations, and converting measurement units. Results are reported on a 240 to 375 scale in five achievement levels, with Level 3 indicating on-grade-level performance, and a calculator is not permitted at this grade.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the FAST Grade 5 Mathematics test?
It is Florida's statewide, computer-adaptive progress-monitoring assessment for fifth-grade mathematics, aligned to the B.E.S.T. standards and given three times a year (PM1, PM2, PM3) to measure growth toward grade-level proficiency.
What math topics are on the Grade 5 FAST test?
It covers four reporting categories: whole-number operations and decimal place value; fraction and decimal operations; algebraic reasoning including order of operations; and geometric reasoning, measurement, and data analysis including volume and the coordinate plane.
How is the Grade 5 FAST Math test scored?
Scores are reported on a scale of 240 to 375 in five achievement levels. Level 3, roughly 309 and above, is considered proficient and on grade level for fifth grade.
Can students use a calculator on Grade 5 FAST Mathematics?
No. A calculator is not permitted on the FAST Mathematics assessment for grades 3 through 5, so fifth graders must compute by hand using the strategies and standard algorithms they learned.
How many questions are on the Grade 5 FAST Math test?
Each administration has about 35 to 40 scored items, plus a small number of embedded field-test items that do not count toward the score, all drawn across the four reporting categories.
Is there a reference sheet for Grade 5 FAST Math?
Yes. Students receive a Grade 5 Mathematics reference sheet with customary and metric conversions, time conversions, and formulas for the perimeter and area of a rectangle and the volume of a rectangular prism.
