1What is the value of the numerical expression 4 × (6 + 3) - 5?

A.31

B.23

C.19

D.36

Explanation: Following the order of operations (PEMDAS), first evaluate the addition inside the parentheses: 6 + 3 = 9. Next, perform the multiplication: 4 × 9 = 36. Finally, subtract 5: 36 - 5 = 31.

2What is the value of (12 - 4) ÷ 2 + 7?

A.15

B.11

C.13

D.9

Explanation: First, evaluate the expression in parentheses: 12 - 4 = 8. Next, divide by 2: 8 ÷ 2 = 4. Finally, add 7: 4 + 7 = 11.

3Which expression represents the phrase 'add 8 and 4, then multiply by 3'?

A.8 + 4 × 3

B.8 × (4 + 3)

C.(8 + 4) × 3

D.8 + (4 × 3)

Explanation: The phrase specifies adding 8 and 4 first, which requires parentheses around (8 + 4), followed by multiplying the sum by 3, yielding (8 + 4) × 3.

4What is the value of the expression [2 × (8 + 4)] ÷ 3?

A.8

B.12

C.16

D.24

Explanation: Start inside the innermost parentheses: 8 + 4 = 12. Next, evaluate inside the brackets: 2 × 12 = 24. Finally, divide by 3: 24 ÷ 3 = 8.

5Evaluate the expression: 50 - [3 × (4 + 2)].

A.44

B.38

C.28

D.32

Explanation: Evaluate parentheses first: 4 + 2 = 6. Evaluate brackets next: 3 × 6 = 18. Subtract from 50: 50 - 18 = 32.

6How does the value of 6 × (40 + 5) compare to the value of 6 × 40 + 5?

A.6 × (40 + 5) is equal to 6 × 40 + 5

B.6 × (40 + 5) is 25 greater than 6 × 40 + 5

C.6 × (40 + 5) is 5 greater than 6 × 40 + 5

D.6 × (40 + 5) is 30 greater than 6 × 40 + 5

Explanation: Using the distributive property, 6 × (40 + 5) = (6 × 40) + (6 × 5) = 240 + 30 = 270. Meanwhile, 6 × 40 + 5 = 240 + 5 = 245. The difference is 270 - 245 = 25.

7Which expression represents 'multiply 5 by the sum of 9 and 7'?

A.5 × (9 + 7)

B.5 × 9 + 7

C.(5 × 9) + 7

D.5 + (9 × 7)

Explanation: The 'sum of 9 and 7' is written as (9 + 7). Multiplying 5 by this sum gives 5 × (9 + 7).

8What is the value of the expression {[(15 - 3) × 2] + 6} ÷ 5?

A.4

B.5

C.6

D.8

Explanation: Work from innermost grouping outwards: 15 - 3 = 12. Next, 12 × 2 = 24. Then, 24 + 6 = 30. Finally, 30 ÷ 5 = 6.

9A pattern starts at 0 and follows the rule 'Add 4'. What is the 5th term in this pattern?

A.20

B.12

C.8

D.16

Explanation: Starting at term 1 (0): term 1 = 0, term 2 = 4, term 3 = 8, term 4 = 12, term 5 = 16.

10Pattern A starts at 0 and adds 3. Pattern B starts at 0 and adds 6. Which statement correctly compares corresponding terms of the two patterns?

A.Each term in Pattern B is twice the corresponding term in Pattern A

B.Each term in Pattern B is 3 more than the corresponding term in Pattern A

C.Each term in Pattern A is twice the corresponding term in Pattern B

D.Each term in Pattern B is 6 times the corresponding term in Pattern A

Explanation: Pattern A terms: 0, 3, 6, 9, 12... Pattern B terms: 0, 6, 12, 18, 24... Comparing non-zero terms: 6 = 2 × 3, 12 = 2 × 6, 18 = 2 × 9. Each term in B is twice the corresponding term in A.

About the KSA Math Grade 5 Exam

Kentucky Summative Assessment Mathematics — Grade 5 measures the Kentucky Academic Standards for Mathematics. This local 100-question bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation. It does not replace worked solutions, modeling, technology-enhanced tasks, or constructed responses. It is not an official translation, format simulation, or substitute for the KSA.

Assessment

The official assessment is administered online at school and uses selected-response, technology-enhanced, and extended-response items, including quantitative reasoning and modeling. No separate assignment, oral examination, practical examination, or case study is required; extended-response and technology-enhanced items remain part of the official assessment.

Time Limit

120 KDE-recommended minutes across 2 parts; this is recommended testing time rather than a candidate-selected appointment limit.

Passing Score

KSA is not a certification exam and has no single pass mark. Results use four performance levels: Novice, Apprentice, Proficient, and Distinguished.

Exam Fee

No separate student fee; Kentucky's public-school accountability assessment is state funded. (Kentucky Department of Education (KDE))
