Sample Michigan M-STEP Grade 4 Mathematics Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your Michigan M-STEP Grade 4 Mathematics exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1A binder costs $9. A backpack costs 4 times as much as the binder. Which equation represents the cost of the backpack, $b$?
A.$b = 9 \times 4$
B.$b = 9 + 4$
C.$b = 9 \div 4$
D.$b = 9 - 4$
Explanation: Multiplicative comparison uses multiplication to state how many times as much one quantity is than another. Since the backpack costs 4 times as much as the $9 binder, the equation is $b = 9 \times 4 = 36$.
2Which multiplicative-comparison statement is directly represented by the equation $35 = 5 \times 7$?
A.35 is 5 more than 7
B.35 is 5 times as many as 7
C.35 divided into 5 equal parts is 7
D.35 minus 5 equals 7
Explanation: The equation $35 = 5 \times 7$ translates to '35 is 5 times as many as 7' (or 7 times as many as 5). Multiplication represents multiplicative comparison.
3Which pair of numbers forms a factor pair of 24?
A.4 and 5
B.6 and 3
C.3 and 8
D.2 and 14
Explanation: Factor pairs multiply together to give the original number. Since $3 \times 8 = 24$, 3 and 8 form a factor pair of 24.
4A prime number has exactly two factors: 1 and itself. Which number is prime?
A.15
B.21
C.25
D.13
Explanation: The number 13 has only two factors, 1 and 13, so it is a prime number. The numbers 15 ($3 \times 5$), 21 ($3 \times 7$), and 25 ($5 \times 5$) are all composite.
5A number pattern starts at 4 and follows the rule 'add 6'. What are the next three terms?
A.4, 10, 16, 22
B.4, 8, 12, 16
C.4, 24, 144, 864
D.6, 10, 14, 18
Explanation: Starting at 4 and repeatedly adding 6 gives: Term 1 = 4, Term 2 = $4 + 6 = 10$, Term 3 = $10 + 6 = 16$, Term 4 = $16 + 6 = 22$.
6Elena bought 3 boxes of markers with 12 markers in each box. She already had 8 markers at home. How many markers does she have altogether?
A.36 markers
B.44 markers
C.28 markers
D.20 markers
Explanation: First, calculate the markers in the 3 new boxes: $3 \times 12 = 36$. Next, add the 8 markers she had at home: $36 + 8 = 44$ markers.
7Marcus had $85. He bought 4 t-shirts that cost $15 each. How much money does he have left?
A.$60
B.$45
C.$25
D.$15
Explanation: First, calculate the total cost of the t-shirts: $4 \times 15 = 60$. Then subtract the total spent from his starting amount: $85 - 60 = 25$ dollars.
8A bakery made 58 muffins. They pack them into boxes that hold 6 muffins each. How many full boxes can they pack, and how many muffins remain?
A.9 full boxes with 4 muffins left over
B.9 full boxes with 2 muffins left over
C.8 full boxes with 10 muffins left over
D.10 full boxes with 2 muffins left over
Explanation: Divide 58 by 6: $58 \div 6 = 9$ with a remainder of 4 because $6 \times 9 = 54$ and $58 - 54 = 4$. So there are 9 full boxes and 4 leftover muffins.
9Consider the number 36. Which list contains every factor pair of 36?
A.3 factor pairs
B.4 factor pairs
C.5 factor pairs
D.6 factor pairs
Explanation: List all factor pairs of 36: $(1, 36)$, $(2, 18)$, $(3, 12)$, $(4, 9)$, and $(6, 6)$. There are 5 total factor pairs.
10Multiples are numbers created by multiplying a given whole number by 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on. Which number is a multiple of both 4 and 6?
A.8, 16, 24, 32
B.8, 18, 28, 38
C.1, 2, 4, 8
D.8, 12, 16, 20
Explanation: The multiples of 8 are $8 \times 1 = 8$, $8 \times 2 = 16$, $8 \times 3 = 24$, $8 \times 4 = 32$, etc. Thus, [8, 16, 24, 32] contains only multiples of 8.

Michigan M-STEP Grade 4 Mathematics Study Tips from Top Performers

1Carefully analyze multi-step word problems by underlining key numerical quantities and writing equations for each step.
2Check standard multi-digit multiplication and division calculations using estimation and inverse operations.
3Use visual models or common denominators to compare fractions with different numerators and denominators.
4Remember that area measures the square units inside a shape ($A = l \times w$) while perimeter measures the distance around it ($P = 2l + 2w$).
5Review definitions of perpendicular lines ($90^\circ$ intersection) and parallel lines (never intersect) when classifying geometric shapes.
