Try these sample questions to test your New Jersey NJSLA-Adaptive Math Grade 3 exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Which expression shows 5 groups of 3?
A.5 × 3
B.5 + 3
C.5 − 3
D.5 ÷ 3
Explanation: 5 × 3 means 5 groups of 3 objects, which equals 15.
2What is 6 × 3?
A.18
B.9
C.24
D.12
Explanation: 6 × 3 means 3 added six times: 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 18.
3What does 12 ÷ 4 = 3 mean?
A.12 split into 4 equal groups of 3
B.12 split into 3 equal groups of 4
C.12 plus 4 equal groups
D.12 minus 4 groups
Explanation: 12 ÷ 4 = 3 means 12 objects are shared into 4 equal groups, with 3 in each group.
4What is 7 × 8?
A.56
B.54
C.63
D.48
Explanation: 7 × 8 = 56. You can think of it as 7 × 5 = 35 plus 7 × 3 = 21, totaling 56.
5What is 9 × 6?
A.54
B.45
C.63
D.56
Explanation: 9 × 6 = 54. You can think 9 × 5 = 45, then add one more 9 to get 54.
6What is 24 ÷ 4?
A.6
B.8
C.4
D.20
Explanation: 24 ÷ 4 = 6 because 4 × 6 = 24, so 24 objects split into groups of 4 make 6 groups.
7Mia has 18 cookies. She puts 3 cookies in each bag. How many bags does she fill?
A.6 bags
B.9 bags
C.5 bags
D.15 bags
Explanation: 18 ÷ 3 = 6, so Mia fills 6 bags with 3 cookies each.

9What number makes the equation 4 × ? = 28 true?
A.7
B.6
C.8
D.24
Explanation: 4 × 7 = 28, so the unknown number is 7.
10Which equation shows the commutative property of multiplication?
A.5 × 4 = 4 × 5
B.(2 × 3) × 4 = 2 × (3 × 4)
C.5 × (3 + 2) = 5×3 + 5×2
D.5 × 1 = 5
Explanation: The commutative property says the order of factors does not matter: 5 × 4 = 4 × 5.
