Try these sample questions to test your RISE 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.

1Maya has 4 baskets. She puts 6 apples in each basket. How many apples does Maya have in total?
A.10 apples
B.24 apples
C.16 apples
D.20 apples
Explanation: To find the total number of apples, multiply the number of baskets by the number of apples in each basket. Calculating 4 x 6 gives 24 apples in total. Therefore, 24 is the correct answer.
2A garden has 5 rows of tomato plants with 7 plants in each row. Which multiplication equation represents the total number of tomato plants?
A.5 + 7 = 12
B.5 x 7 = 35
C.5 x 5 = 25
D.7 + 7 = 14
Explanation: An array with 5 rows and 7 items in each row represents 5 groups of 7. Multiplying 5 x 7 gives 35 total tomato plants. Therefore, 5 x 7 = 35 is the correct multiplication equation.
3Liam has 18 crayons and wants to put an equal number into 3 boxes. How many crayons will be in each box?
A.6 crayons
B.5 crayons
C.15 crayons
D.21 crayons
Explanation: To divide 18 crayons equally among 3 boxes, calculate 18 ÷ 3. Since 3 x 6 = 18, there will be 6 crayons in each box. Thus, 6 crayons is the correct answer.
4What number makes the equation true? ? x 8 = 32
A.3
B.4
C.5
D.6
Explanation: To find the missing factor, divide the product 32 by the known factor 8. Since 32 ÷ 8 = 4, the missing number is 4. Thus, 4 x 8 = 32.
5Which equation belongs to the same fact family as 7 x 6 = 42?
A.42 ÷ 6 = 7
B.42 - 6 = 36
C.42 + 7 = 49
D.7 x 7 = 49
Explanation: A multiplication and division fact family uses the exact same three numbers (6, 7, and 42). Since 7 x 6 = 42, dividing the product 42 by 6 gives 7. Therefore, 42 ÷ 6 = 7 is in the same fact family.
6Sam knows that 9 x 4 = 36. Which property allows Sam to quickly know that 4 x 9 = 36?
A.Associative Property of Multiplication
B.Commutative Property of Multiplication
C.Distributive Property of Multiplication
D.Identity Property of Multiplication
Explanation: The Commutative Property of Multiplication states that changing the order of the factors does not change the product. Therefore, 9 x 4 and 4 x 9 both equal 36.
7What is the product of 0 x 9?
A.9
B.0
C.1
D.90
Explanation: According to the Zero Property of Multiplication, any number multiplied by 0 equals 0. Therefore, 0 x 9 = 0.
8Which expression shows a correct way to break apart 7 x 8 using the Distributive Property?
A.(7 x 5) + (7 x 3)
B.(7 x 4) + (8 x 4)
C.(7 + 5) x (7 + 3)
D.(7 x 8) + 5
Explanation: The factor 8 can be decomposed into 5 + 3. Using the Distributive Property, 7 x 8 = 7 x (5 + 3) = (7 x 5) + (7 x 3). Evaluating gives 35 + 21 = 56.
9A teacher divides 28 students into equal groups of 4. How many groups are formed?
A.6 groups
B.7 groups
C.8 groups
D.24 groups
Explanation: Divide the total number of students by the number of students per group: 28 ÷ 4. Since 4 x 7 = 28, exactly 7 groups are formed.
10Which equation demonstrates the Associative Property of Multiplication?
A.(2 x 3) x 4 = 2 x (3 x 4)
B.2 x 3 = 3 x 2
C.2 x (3 + 4) = (2 x 3) + (2 x 4)
D.2 x 1 = 2
Explanation: The Associative Property of Multiplication states that changing the grouping of factors does not change the product. (2 x 3) x 4 = 6 x 4 = 24, and 2 x (3 x 4) = 2 x 12 = 24.
