Sample MAP Math Grade 6 Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your MAP Math Grade 6 exam readiness. 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.

MAP Math Grade 6 Study Tips from Top Performers

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.
