Sample New Mexico NM-MSSA Math Grade 4 Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your New Mexico NM-MSSA Math Grade 4 exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Maria has 6 stickers. Her brother has 5 times as many stickers as Maria. How many stickers does her brother have?
A.30
B.11
C.24
D.35
Explanation: 5 times as many as 6 means 5 × 6 = 30 stickers.
2A baker made 48 muffins in the morning and 36 muffins in the afternoon. He sold 54 muffins by closing time. How many muffins does he have left?
A.18
B.30
C.66
D.42
Explanation: First add the muffins: 48 + 36 = 84. Then subtract those sold: 84 − 54 = 30 muffins left.
3Which number is a factor of 24?
A.5
B.7
C.8
D.9
Explanation: A factor divides the number exactly. 24 ÷ 8 = 3 with no remainder, so 8 is a factor of 24.
4Which of the following numbers is prime?
A.11
B.15
C.21
D.27
Explanation: A prime number has exactly two factors: 1 and itself. 11 has only the factors 1 and 11, so it is prime.
5Trey has 9 baseball cards. His dad has 4 times as many baseball cards as Trey. How many baseball cards does his dad have?
A.13
B.45
C.49
D.36
Explanation: 4 times as many as 9 means 4 × 9 = 36 baseball cards.
6A farm has 8 pens with 6 chickens in each pen. If the farmer sells 23 chickens, how many chickens remain on the farm?
A.71
B.25
C.48
D.17
Explanation: First find the total: 8 × 6 = 48 chickens. Then subtract those sold: 48 − 23 = 25 chickens remain.
7Which number is a multiple of 6?
A.27
B.28
C.30
D.31
Explanation: A multiple of 6 is divisible by 6. 30 ÷ 6 = 5 with no remainder, so 30 is a multiple of 6.
8A number pattern starts at 3 and adds 4 each time. What is the 6th term in the pattern?
A.23
B.19
C.27
D.24
Explanation: List the terms: 3, 7, 11, 15, 19, 23. The 6th term is 3 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 23.
9Which of the following is NOT a factor pair of 16?
A.1 × 16
B.2 × 8
C.3 × 5
D.4 × 4
Explanation: A factor pair of 16 must multiply to 16. 3 × 5 = 15, not 16, so it is not a factor pair of 16.
1024 students sit equally at 6 tables. Then 18 more students arrive and are seated equally among the same 6 tables. How many students are at each table now?
A.4
B.6
C.7
D.11
Explanation: Total students now: 24 + 18 = 42. Divided equally among 6 tables: 42 ÷ 6 = 7 students per table.
