Sample MAP Math Grade 6 Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the MAP Math Grade 6 exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1A classroom has 12 boys and 16 girls. What is the simplified ratio of boys to total students in the class?
A.3 to 4
B.4 to 7
C.3 to 7
D.3 to 5
Explanation: Total students = 12 + 16 = 28. The ratio of boys to total students is 12:28. Dividing both terms by 4 simplifies the ratio to 3 to 7.
2A grocery store sells 6 bags of pretzels for $15.00. What is the unit cost per bag of pretzels?
A.$2.25
B.$2.75
C.$3.00
D.$2.50
Explanation: To find the unit price, divide the total cost by the number of bags: $15.00 ÷ 6 = $2.50 per bag.
3What is 35% of 80?
A.24
B.28
C.32
D.35
Explanation: Convert 35% to a decimal (0.35) and multiply by 80: 0.35 × 80 = 28.
4If a car travels 180 miles in 3 hours at a constant speed, how many miles will it travel in 5 hours at the same speed?
A.240 miles
B.270 miles
C.300 miles
D.360 miles
Explanation: First find the speed per hour: 180 miles ÷ 3 hours = 60 mph. In 5 hours, the car travels 60 × 5 = 300 miles.
5In a Grade 6 survey, 18 students said basketball is their favorite sport. If this represents 40% of the surveyed students, how many total students took the survey?
A.42
B.45
C.48
D.50
Explanation: To find the whole, divide the part by the percent decimal: 18 ÷ 0.40 = 45 total students.
6What is the quotient of 3/4 divided by 1/8?
A.3/32
B.3/2
C.6
D.8
Explanation: Multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor: (3/4) ÷ (1/8) = (3/4) × (8/1) = 24/4 = 6.
7What is 45.2 - 18.75?
A.26.55
B.27.45
C.26.45
D.27.55
Explanation: Align decimals and pad with zero: 45.20 - 18.75 = 26.45.
8What is the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 24 and 36?
A.4
B.6
C.12
D.72
Explanation: Factors of 24 are {1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24}. Factors of 36 are {1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36}. The largest common factor is 12.
9What is the absolute value of -14, written as |-14|?
A.-14
B.0
C.14
D.28
Explanation: Absolute value represents the distance a number is from 0 on a number line. Distance is non-negative, so |-14| = 14.
10In which quadrant of the coordinate plane is the point (-5, 3) located?
A.Quadrant I
B.Quadrant III
C.Quadrant IV
D.Quadrant II
Explanation: Quadrant II contains points with negative x-coordinates and positive y-coordinates.

About the MAP Math Grade 6 Exam

The Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) Grade 6 Mathematics assessment measures student achievement on the Missouri Learning Standards (MLS). It tests ratio reasoning, fraction division, rational numbers, absolute value, algebraic expressions, one-variable equations and inequalities, two-variable relationships, surface area, volume with fractional edge lengths, and statistical measures of center and variability. OpenExamPrep provides 100 realistic practice questions with detailed step-by-step solutions.

Understand ratio concepts, compute unit rates, work with equivalent ratio tables, solve unit rate pricing/speed problems, and calculate percents of quantities and total amounts.

20-25%

The Number System

Divide fractions by fractions, compute with multi-digit decimals, find GCF and LCM, plot rational numbers in 4 quadrants of the coordinate plane, compute distance, and calculate absolute value.

25-30%

Expressions & Equations

Evaluate exponential expressions, write algebraic expressions from verbal descriptions, apply distributive/commutative properties, solve 1-variable equations/inequalities, and analyze dependent/independent variables.

12-15%

MAP Math Grade 6: Suggested Study Strategy

1Master fraction division by remembering to multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor.
2Practice setting up unit rate equations: divide the total quantity or cost by the number of units to find the rate per unit.
3Understand absolute value as distance from zero on a number line, which is always non-negative.
4Be comfortable using the distributive property to factor or expand algebraic expressions.
5Remember that for rectangular prisms with fractional edge lengths, Volume = length x width x height or Base area x height.
6When calculating IQR (Interquartile Range), order the data, find the median, then calculate Q3 - Q1.
