Sample MTYA Grade 3 Math Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your MTYA Grade 3 Math exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Emma puts 6 apples into each of 4 baskets. How many apples does she have in total?
A.20 apples
B.24 apples
C.10 apples
D.28 apples
Explanation: To find the total number of apples, multiply the number of baskets (4) by the number of apples per basket (6). 4 x 6 = 24 apples.
2Liam has 35 pencils to share equally among 5 pencil boxes. How many pencils go into each box?
A.7 pencils
B.6 pencils
C.8 pencils
D.30 pencils
Explanation: To share 35 pencils equally among 5 boxes, divide 35 by 5. Since 5 x 7 = 35, there are 7 pencils in each box.
3Which equation shows the Commutative Property of Multiplication?
A.7 x 4 = 4 x 7
B.7 + 4 = 11
C.7 x (4 x 2) = (7 x 4) x 2
D.7 x 1 = 7
Explanation: The Commutative Property of Multiplication states that changing the order of the factors does not change the product. Therefore, 7 x 4 = 4 x 7 is an example of this property.
4What number makes the equation true? 8 x ? = 48
A.5
B.6
C.7
D.8
Explanation: To solve for the missing factor, divide the product by the known factor: 48 / 8 = 6. Checking: 8 x 6 = 48.
5A tray has 28 cupcakes arranged in 4 equal rows. How many cupcakes are in each row?
A.6 cupcakes
B.7 cupcakes
C.8 cupcakes
D.24 cupcakes
Explanation: To find the number of cupcakes per row in an array, divide the total number of cupcakes (28) by the number of rows (4). 28 / 4 = 7 cupcakes.
6Look at the pattern: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, __. What is the next number in the pattern?
A.22
B.24
C.26
D.28
Explanation: The rule for this pattern is adding 4 to each term (skip-counting by 4). Adding 4 to 20 gives 24.
7Which expression is equal to (3 x 2) x 4?
A.3 x (2 x 4)
B.3 + 2 + 4
C.(3 x 2) + 4
D.3 x 2 x 2
Explanation: The Associative Property of Multiplication allows factors to be regrouped without changing the product. So (3 x 2) x 4 is equal to 3 x (2 x 4), both resulting in 24.
8A farmer plants 9 rows of tomato plants. There are 5 plants in each row. How many tomato plants are there altogether?
A.40 plants
B.45 plants
C.50 plants
D.14 plants
Explanation: Multiply the number of rows by the number of plants per row: 9 x 5 = 45 tomato plants.
9An input-output table turns 3 into 12, 5 into 20, and 7 into 28. What is the rule for this table?
A.Add 9
B.Multiply by 4
C.Multiply by 3
D.Add 15
Explanation: Check each pair: 3 x 4 = 12, 5 x 4 = 20, and 7 x 4 = 28. The rule that applies to all inputs is 'Multiply by 4'.
10Maya bought 3 packs of stickers with 8 stickers in each pack. Her friend gave her 5 more stickers. How many stickers does Maya have now?
A.24 stickers
B.29 stickers
C.27 stickers
D.39 stickers
Explanation: First, calculate the stickers from the packs: 3 x 8 = 24 stickers. Then, add the 5 extra stickers: 24 + 5 = 29 stickers.
