Grade 5 MCAS Math practice questions with answers

These three original examples come from TestByState’s Grade 5 practice generator. Read them without an account. They illustrate selected skills, not a complete test blueprint or official released questions.

Example 1

Skill reference: 5.NF.B.4

A rectangle is 3/7 meter long and 3/7 meter wide. What is its area in square meters?

  1. 9/14 square meters
  2. 9/49 square meters
  3. 3/7 square meters
  4. 6/49 square meters
Show answer and explanation

Answer: 9/49 square meters

3/7 × 3/7 = 9/49 square meters.

  1. Multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators.
  2. 3/7 × 3/7 = 9/49 square meters.

Example 2

Skill reference: 5.OA.B.3

Pattern A is 2, 6, 10, 14, 18. Pattern B is 10, 30, 50, 70, 90. Which statement is true about corresponding terms?

  1. Each term in Pattern B is 5 more than the corresponding term in Pattern A.
  2. Each term in Pattern B is 5 times the corresponding term in Pattern A.
  3. The difference between corresponding terms is always 1.
  4. Each term in Pattern A is 5 times the corresponding term in Pattern B.
Show answer and explanation

Answer: Each term in Pattern B is 5 times the corresponding term in Pattern A.

The same factor, 5, relates every pair of corresponding terms.

  1. Compare corresponding terms, such as 10 ÷ 2 = 5.
  2. The same factor, 5, relates every pair of corresponding terms.

Example 3

Skill reference: 5.NF.B.6

A class has 2 equal packs of 30 notebooks. They use 1/6 of the total. How many notebooks do they use?

  1. 50
  2. 5
  3. 10
  4. 2
Show answer and explanation

Answer: 10

Then find 1/6 of 60: 60 × 1/6 = 10.

  1. Find the total: 2 × 30 = 60.
  2. Then find 1/6 of 60: 60 × 1/6 = 10.
