1What is the value of the digit 7 in the number 4,728?
A.7
B.70
C.700
D.7,000
Explanation: In the number 4,728, the digit 4 is in the thousands place (4,000), the digit 7 is in the hundreds place (700), the digit 2 is in the tens place (20), and the digit 8 is in the ones place (8). Therefore, the value of the digit 7 is 700.
2What is 346 rounded to the nearest ten?
A.340
B.350
C.300
D.400
Explanation: To round 346 to the nearest ten, look at the digit in the ones place, which is 6. Since 6 is 5 or greater, round up the tens digit from 4 to 5. Thus, 346 rounded to the nearest ten is 350.
3What is 823 rounded to the nearest hundred?
A.800
B.820
C.830
D.900
Explanation: To round 823 to the nearest hundred, examine the tens digit, which is 2. Because 2 is less than 5, keep the hundreds digit as 8 and change the following digits to zero. Therefore, 823 rounded to the nearest hundred is 800.
4Which of the following numbers has a 5 in the thousands place?
A.1,459
B.2,514
C.5,149
D.9,541
Explanation: In 5,149, the digit 5 is located four places from the right, which represents the thousands place. In 1,459 the 5 is in the tens place, in 2,514 it is in the hundreds place, and in 9,541 it is in the hundreds place.
5Which comparison statement correctly compares 6,482 and 6,428?
A.6,482 < 6,428
B.6,482 = 6,428
C.6,482 > 6,428
D.6,428 > 6,482
Explanation: Compare the numbers digit by digit starting from the left: both numbers have 6 thousands and 4 hundreds. Comparing the tens place, 6,482 has 8 tens while 6,428 has 2 tens. Since 8 tens is greater than 2 tens, 6,482 > 6,428.
6What is 2,575 rounded to the nearest hundred?
A.2,500
B.2,570
C.2,580
D.2,600
Explanation: To round 2,575 to the nearest hundred, look at the tens digit, which is 7. Because 7 is 5 or greater, round the hundreds digit up from 5 to 6. Thus, 2,575 rounded to the nearest hundred is 2,600.
7What is the expanded form of the number 8,049?
A.8,000 + 400 + 9
B.8,000 + 40 + 9
C.800 + 40 + 9
D.8,000 + 400 + 90
Explanation: Break down 8,049 by place value: 8 thousands (8,000), 0 hundreds (0), 4 tens (40), and 9 ones (9). Writing these non-zero place values as an addition expression gives 8,000 + 40 + 9.
8Which number is equal to 3,000 + 600 + 5?
A.3,650
B.3,605
C.3,065
D.365
Explanation: Combine the place values: 3 thousands (3,000), 6 hundreds (600), 0 tens (0), and 5 ones (5). Adding these together yields 3,605.
9What is 7,492 rounded to the nearest ten?
A.7,490
B.7,500
C.7,400
D.7,495
Explanation: To round 7,492 to the nearest ten, check the ones digit, which is 2. Since 2 is less than 5, keep the tens digit as 9 and change the ones digit to 0. Thus, 7,492 rounded to the nearest ten is 7,490.
10What is the smallest 4-digit number that can be formed using the digits 9, 2, 0, and 7 exactly once, without starting with 0?
A.0,279
B.2,079
C.2,709
D.2,097
Explanation: To form the smallest 4-digit number, place the smallest non-zero digit in the thousands place, which is 2. Then arrange the remaining digits (0, 7, 9) in ascending order for the hundreds, tens, and ones places: 0 in hundreds, 7 in tens, 9 in ones. This gives 2,079.

About the OSTP Math Grade 3 Exam

The OSTP Grade 3 Mathematics assessment measures proficiency against the Oklahoma Academic Standards for Mathematics.

Online fixed-form test in two sections combining multiple-choice items (some linked to a common stimulus) and technology-enhanced items. Blueprint: Number and Operations 44-48%, Algebraic Reasoning and Algebra 12-18%, Geometry and Measurement 22-26%, Data and Probability 12-18%.

Time Limit

Approximately 100 minutes across two sections (suggested maximum 200 minutes); not strictly timed

Passing Score

No pass/fail mark. Reported on the Oklahoma Performance Index (OPI) 200–399 scale, where 300 is always Proficient, in four performance levels: Below Basic, Basic, Proficient, Advanced.

OSTP Math Grade 3 Study Tips from Top Performers

1Drill multiplication and division facts to 10 x 10 and the fact families that connect them — they underpin the biggest reporting category.
2Practise rounding to the nearest ten and hundred and using rounding to estimate sums and differences.
3Work with fractions on a number line and compare fractions with the same numerator or the same denominator.
4Review area and perimeter of rectangles, telling time to the minute and elapsed time.
5Practise reading pictographs and scaled bar graphs, including graphs where one symbol stands for more than one item.
