About the FAST Math Grade 6 Exam
The Florida Assessment of Student Thinking (FAST) Mathematics, Grade 6 is a state progress-monitoring assessment aligned to Florida's Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking (B.E.S.T.) Mathematics standards. It is administered three times each school year (PM1, PM2, and PM3), with PM1 and PM2 delivered as computer-adaptive tests and PM3 providing a summative, year-end score. Each administration contains roughly 36 to 40 items drawn from three reporting categories: Number Sense and Operations; Algebraic Reasoning; and Geometric Reasoning, Data Analysis, and Probability. Grade 6 content emphasizes ratios and unit rates, dividing fractions, negative numbers and the number line, algebraic expressions and one-variable equations, area, surface area, volume, and statistics. Results are reported on a scale with five achievement levels so families and teachers can track on-grade-level progress, and a four-function calculator is available for grade 6 items.
