1What is the value of the digit 7 in the number 4,752?
A.7
B.70
C.700
D.7,000
Explanation: In 4,752 the digit 7 is in the hundreds place, so its value is 7 × 100 = 700.
2Which number is written as 3 thousands, 0 hundreds, 5 tens, and 8 ones?
A.3,058
B.3,508
C.3,085
D.358
Explanation: 3 thousands + 0 hundreds + 5 tens + 8 ones = 3,000 + 50 + 8 = 3,058.
3What is 6,000 + 400 + 20 + 9 written in standard form?
A.6,429
B.6,249
C.6,492
D.64,029
Explanation: Add the place values: 6,000 + 400 + 20 + 9 = 6,429.
4Which digit is in the thousands place of 8,156?
A.8
B.1
C.5
D.6
Explanation: In 8,156 the leftmost digit is 8 in the thousands place.
5Compare: 3,482 ☐ 3,428. Which symbol belongs in the box?
A.>
B.<
C.=
D.×
Explanation: Both numbers have 3 thousands and 4 hundreds. The tens digits are 8 and 2, and 8 > 2, so 3,482 > 3,428.
6Round 47 to the nearest ten.
A.40
B.50
C.45
D.57
Explanation: The ones digit is 7, which is 5 or greater, so round 47 up to 50.
7Round 362 to the nearest hundred.
A.300
B.360
C.400
D.350
Explanation: Look at the tens digit of 362. The tens digit is 6, which is 5 or greater, so round up to 400.
8What is the expanded form of 2,905?
A.2,000 + 900 + 5
B.2,000 + 90 + 5
C.200 + 90 + 5
D.2,000 + 900 + 50
Explanation: 2,905 = 2 thousands + 9 hundreds + 0 tens + 5 ones = 2,000 + 900 + 5.
9Which number is greatest?
A.1,875
B.1,857
C.1,785
D.1,578
Explanation: All numbers have 1 thousand. Comparing hundreds: 8 is greatest in 1,875 and 1,857. Comparing tens of those two: 7 > 5, so 1,875 is greatest.
10How many tens are in 80?
A.8
B.80
C.10
D.0
Explanation: 80 = 8 tens and 0 ones, so there are 8 tens in 80.

About the ATLAS Math Grade 3 Exam

The Arkansas ATLAS Mathematics — Grade 3 is part of the Arkansas Teaching, Learning, and Assessment System summative program administered by the Division of Elementary and Secondary Education. It measures student achievement of Arkansas Academic Standards in Mathematics for Grade 3. Reporting categories follow elementary math strands: Number and Place Value; Computation and Algebraic Reasoning; Geometry & Measurement/Data Analysis. The official assessment is computer-adaptive within the grade or course, includes multiple item types (and for ELA a writing component), and is untimed under PATH rules. Results are reported in four performance levels (Level 1–Level 4), with Level 3 or higher indicating grade-level achievement. OpenExamPrep offers free English multiple-choice practice aligned to ATLAS reporting categories as a study aid—not official items or a full format simulation.

Questions

35 scored questions

Time Limit

Untimed. The official blueprint lists an estimated average test time of 60 to 70 minutes; PATH sets a 70-minute minimum sit time for Math grades 3–8 (scheduling estimate only — 2024 average completion times ran about 66–83 minutes by grade).

Passing Score

Results are reported in four performance levels (Level 1–Level 4). Level 3 or higher indicates the student has demonstrated achievement aligned to grade-level Arkansas Academic Standards (2023–24 technical report / 2024 standard setting).

Exam Fee

Free to students and families; ATLAS is a state-funded statewide summative assessment administered through Arkansas public schools. (Arkansas Division of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE); delivered by Cambium Assessment, Inc. (CAI) for the Arkansas Department of Education / DESE)

ATLAS Math Grade 3 Study Tips from Top Performers

1Study the Arkansas Academic Standards and ATLAS reporting categories for Grade 3 Mathematics rather than memorizing random trivia.
2Use the free ATLAS practice/training tests on the official ATLAS portal so students know the online tools before test day.
3Build stamina with untimed practice sessions that mirror one content subject per sitting, matching PATH scheduling guidance.
4Review wrong answers by explaining why each distractor is incorrect using evidence or calculation steps.
5Work multi-step problems and modeling tasks: the official blueprint targets roughly half its items at DOK 2 and about a fifth at DOK 3, so recall alone is not enough.
6Cover all three reporting categories in proportion — Number and Place Value carries the largest share at Grade 3, but Computation and Geometry/Measurement/Data each account for about a third of the test.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Arkansas ATLAS Mathematics assessment for Grade 3?

It is the statewide end-of-year (or end-of-course) summative assessment in the Arkansas Teaching, Learning, and Assessment System (ATLAS) for Grade 3 Mathematics, administered by DESE and aligned to Arkansas Academic Standards. Results are used for school accountability and to report student achievement.

Who takes this ATLAS assessment?

Arkansas public school students enrolled in the corresponding grade (for grade-level tests) or EOC-eligible course (Algebra I, Geometry, or Biology). Accelerated students may take math EOCs in place of grade-level math when enrolled in the course. Students who qualify for the alternate assessment take DLM instead.

How many questions are on the official ATLAS test?

Official summative blueprint: 35 operational items — Number and Place Value 12–14 items (38%), Computation and Algebraic Reasoning 11–13 items (31%), and Geometry & Measurement/Data Analysis 10–12 items (31%). The CAT selects items within each strand's min/max (Arkansas Mathematics Standards Interim and Summative Blueprint, DESE, updated July 28, 2025).

Is ATLAS timed?

No. Official PATH guidance states ATLAS 3–10 content and EOC tests are untimed. Schools schedule minimum sit times for planning, and students should finish a summative content test within one instructional day.

What score is considered proficient?

ATLAS reports four performance levels (Level 1–Level 4). Level 3 or higher indicates achievement aligned to grade-level Arkansas Academic Standards based on the 2024 standard-setting cut scores.

Are these practice questions the real ATLAS exam?

No. These free multiple-choice practice questions are a study aid aligned to Arkansas standards and ATLAS reporting categories. They are not official ATLAS items and do not replace authentic reading/writing, multi-step math modeling, science investigations, or the official computer-adaptive assessment.
