Montana MAST Grade 5 Mathematics Exam Content Outline
Operations & Algebraic Thinking
Use parentheses, brackets, and braces in numerical expressions and evaluate expressions with these symbols; write simple expressions that record calculations with numbers and interpret numerical expressions without evaluating them; generate two numerical patterns using two given rules, identify apparent relationships between corresponding terms, and form ordered pairs and graph them.
Number & Operations in Base Ten
Recognize that in a multi-digit number a digit in one place represents 10× as much as it represents in the place to its right and 1/10 of what it represents to its left; explain patterns in the number of zeros of products when multiplying a number by powers of 10 and in placement of the decimal point when multiplying or dividing by a power of 10; read, write, and compare decimals to thousandths; round decimals to any place; fluently multiply multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm; find whole-number quotients of whole numbers with up to four-digit dividends and two-digit divisors; add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals to hundredths.
Number & Operations — Fractions
Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators (including mixed numbers) by replacing given fractions with equivalent fractions; solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions referring to the same whole and unlike denominators; interpret a fraction as division of the numerator by the denominator; multiply a fraction or whole number by a fraction; find the area of a rectangle with fractional side lengths; divide unit fractions by whole numbers and whole numbers by unit fractions; solve real-world problems involving division of unit fractions.
Measurement & Data
Convert among different-sized standard measurement units within a given measurement system and solve multi-step real-world problems; make a line plot to display a data set of measurements in fractions of a unit (1/2, 1/4, 1/8); recognize volume as an attribute of solid figures and understand concepts of volume measurement; measure volumes by counting unit cubes (cubic cm, cubic in, cubic ft, and improvised units); relate volume to multiplication and addition and solve real-world and mathematical problems involving volume (V = l × w × h and V = b × h).
Geometry
Use a pair of perpendicular number lines (axes) to define a coordinate system and plot points in the first quadrant; represent real-world and mathematical problems by graphing points in the first quadrant and interpret coordinate values; classify two-dimensional figures in a hierarchy based on properties, understanding that attributes belonging to a category of quadrilaterals also belong to all subcategories.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the format of the MAST Grade 5 Mathematics assessment?
The official Montana MAST Grade 5 Math assessment is a through-year online assessment delivered on the Kite platform across three testing windows. It includes selected-response, equation-entry, and technology-enhanced testlets. This independent bank provides 100 English four-option MCQs as a study adaptation, not a format simulation.
How are performance levels reported on Montana MAST?
Results are reported in four performance levels on a 250-400 scaled score: Novice (L1, 250-294), Partially Proficient (L2, 295-314), Proficient (L3, 315-333), and Advanced (L4, 334-400). Proficient and Advanced reflect meeting Montana Content Standards for Grade 5 Mathematics.
Are calculators allowed on the MAST Grade 5 Mathematics assessment?
No, calculators are not permitted on the Grade 5 MAST Math assessment. Students solve problems using mental calculation, paper-and-pencil strategies, and standard algorithms aligned to the Montana Content Standards, including multi-digit multiplication and long division with two-digit divisors.
Is this practice bank affiliated with the Montana Office of Public Instruction?
This practice bank is an independent learning resource aligned to the public Montana Content Standards for Mathematics Grade 5 and is not an official OPI or Kite product.
