Sample MAP Math Grade 3 Practice Questions

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

1There are 5 boxes with 4 pencils in each box. Which multiplication expression represents the total number of pencils?
A.$5 + 4 = 9$
B.$5 \times 4 = 20$
C.$5 \times 5 = 25$
D.$20 \div 5 = 4$
Explanation: Five groups of 4 items is represented by the multiplication expression $5 \times 4 = 20$.
2Three students share 15 crayons equally. How many crayons does each student get?
A.3 crayons
B.12 crayons
C.5 crayons
D.18 crayons
Explanation: To share 15 crayons equally among 3 students, divide: $15 \div 3 = 5$ crayons per student.
3What is 47 rounded to the nearest ten?
A.50
B.40
C.45
D.60
Explanation: The ones digit of 47 is 7, which is 5 or greater, so round up to 50.
4What is the value of the digit 6 in the number 638?
A.600
B.60
C.6
D.6,000
Explanation: The digit 6 is in the hundreds place, so its value is 6 hundreds or 600.
5What is $7 \times 3$?
A.10
B.18
C.24
D.21
Explanation: The product of 7 and 3 is 21 ($7 \times 3 = 21$).
6What is $24 \div 6$?
A.3
B.6
C.18
D.4
Explanation: Since $6 \times 4 = 24$, $24 \div 6 = 4$.
7What is $234 + 145$?
A.378
B.379
C.389
D.279
Explanation: Add place by place: $4+5=9$ (ones), $3+4=7$ (tens), $2+1=3$ (hundreds). $234 + 145 = 379$.
8What is $587 - 243$?
A.334
B.342
C.344
D.830
Explanation: Subtract place by place: $7-3=4$ (ones), $8-4=4$ (tens), $5-2=3$ (hundreds). $587 - 243 = 344$.
9A pizza is cut into 8 equal slices. What fraction represents 1 slice of the pizza?
A.$1/2$
B.$1/8$
C.$8/1$
D.$1/4$
Explanation: One slice out of 8 equal parts is represented by the unit fraction $1/8$.
10An analog clock has its hour hand past the 2 and its minute hand pointing directly at the 4. What time does the clock show?
A.2:04
B.4:10
C.2:20
D.2:15
Explanation: Minute hand pointing at 4 means $4 \times 5 = 20$ minutes past the hour. The hour hand is past 2, so the time is 2:20.

About the MAP Math Grade 3 Exam

The Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) Grade 3 Mathematics assessment measures student mastery of the Missouri Learning Standards (MLS).
