Sample Puerto Rico CRECE Grade 3 Mathematics Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your Puerto Rico CRECE Grade 3 Mathematics exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1What is the value of the digit 7 in the number 4,725?
A.7
B.70
C.700
D.7,000
Explanation: In the number 4,725, the digit 4 is in the thousands place, 7 is in the hundreds place, 2 is in the tens place, and 5 is in the ones place. Therefore, the digit 7 represents 7 hundreds, which equals 700.
2Which expression represents the number 3,408 in expanded form?
A.3,000 + 400 + 8
B.3,000 + 40 + 8
C.300 + 40 + 8
D.3,000 + 400 + 80
Explanation: The number 3,408 consists of 3 thousands, 4 hundreds, 0 tens, and 8 ones. Adding these values together gives 3,000 + 400 + 8.
3What is 482 rounded to the nearest ten?
A.480
B.490
C.500
D.400
Explanation: To round 482 to the nearest ten, look at the ones digit (2). Since 2 is less than 5, round down to 480.
4What is 637 rounded to the nearest hundred?
A.600
B.640
C.700
D.630
Explanation: To round 637 to the nearest hundred, examine the tens digit (3). Since 3 is less than 5, round down to 600.
5Solve: $342 + 215 = ?$
A.557
B.547
C.567
D.457
Explanation: Add place values from right to left: $2 + 5 = 7$ ones, $4 + 1 = 5$ tens, and $3 + 2 = 5$ hundreds. The total sum is 557.
6Solve: $584 - 231 = ?$
A.353
B.355
C.343
D.253
Explanation: Subtract each column starting from ones: $4 - 1 = 3$ ones, $8 - 3 = 5$ tens, and $5 - 2 = 3$ hundreds. The result is 353.
7Which comparison statement is true?
A.2,481 < 2,418
B.5,309 > 5,390
C.6,174 < 6,714
D.8,045 = 8,405
Explanation: Comparing 6,174 and 6,714 starting from the left: thousands digits are equal (6), but hundreds digits show $1 < 7$. Therefore, 6,174 < 6,714 is true.
8Mateo collected 234 seashells at Luquillo Beach on Saturday and 153 seashells on Sunday. How many seashells did he collect in total?
A.387
B.377
C.397
D.287
Explanation: Add $234 + 153$. Ones: $4 + 3 = 7$. Tens: $3 + 5 = 8$. Hundreds: $2 + 1 = 3$. Mateo collected 387 seashells in total.
9A school library in San Juan had 648 books. Students checked out 215 books during literacy week. How many books remained in the library?
A.433
B.423
C.443
D.863
Explanation: Subtract $648 - 215$. Ones: $8 - 5 = 3$. Tens: $4 - 1 = 3$. Hundreds: $6 - 2 = 4$. Remaining books = 433.
10Solve: $704 - 358 = ?$
A.346
B.356
C.446
D.348
Explanation: Regroup across zero: 7 hundreds becomes 6 hundreds and 10 tens; then 10 tens becomes 9 tens and 14 ones. $14 - 8 = 6$ ones, $9 - 5 = 4$ tens, and $6 - 3 = 3$ hundreds. Result = 346.
