Product description

From the author

This Grade 6 FAST-themed classroom practice set contains forty multiple-choice math questions across ratios, number operations, expressions, geometry, statistics and mixed problem solving.

Three PDFs provide a nine-page student test, seven-page answer key with worked explanations and five-page teacher guide. The guide includes publisher-supplied benchmark references, pacing suggestions and classroom score bands.

Use selected sections for review or the full set to identify topics for follow-up. The publisher’s score bands are classroom guidance, not official FAST performance levels; the listing does not certify equivalence to the current state test.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Solve ratio, unit-rate, and percent problems, including percent increase and discount pricing
Order, add, subtract, multiply, and divide integers, and find LCM and fraction-decimal equivalents
Simplify expressions, apply the distributive property, and solve one-variable equations and inequalities

Teaching tips

Administer in one 60-75 minute sitting or split at the printed midpoint (Q1-20 / Q21-40) across two sessions, as the guide suggests
Use the scoring scale's four performance levels to route follow-up: enrichment at 36-40, standard review at 28-35, small-group re-teaching by benchmark at 20-27, and intervention below 20
Re-teach by benchmark using the guide's alignment table — for example, proportional-reasoning misses point to questions 3, 4, and 39 as a set

Skills covered

Ratio and rate reasoning — students simplify 12:16, compute a 50 mph unit rate, and scale a recipe's 2:3 flour-to-oats ratio.
Integer operations — items drill ordering negatives and computing sums, differences, products, and quotients such as (−4) × (−7).
Measurement geometry — questions cover triangle and parallelogram area, prism volume, cube surface area, and distance between coordinate points.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

How is the test organized?

Six labeled sections in benchmark order: Ratios & Proportional Relationships (Q1-8), The Number System (Q9-16), Expressions & Equations (Q17-24), Geometry (Q25-30), Statistics & Probability (Q31-36), and Mixed Problem Solving (Q37-40), with directions telling students to show work on scratch paper.

What support does the teacher's guide add beyond the questions?

A benchmark-by-question alignment table (e.g. MA.6.AR.3.3 → questions 3, 4, 39), a four-level scoring scale tied to follow-up actions from enrichment to intensive intervention, and administration notes covering timing, materials, and seating.

Do students see why an answer is correct?

The teacher key works every item out — Q2 shows 150 miles ÷ 3 hours = 50 mph, Q24 expands 4(2x+3) step by step, Q34 subtracts Q3 − Q1 for the IQR — leaving printed reasoning to reteach from.

Curriculum

Standards, concepts & topics

Standards

6.RP.A.3 — Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems, e.g., by reasoning about tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams, double number line diagrams, or equations. a. Make tables of equivalent ratios relating quantities with whole-number measurements, find missing values in the tables, and plot the pairs of values on the coordinate plane. Use tables to compare ratios. b. Solve unit rate problems including those involving unit pricing and constant speed. For example, if it took 7 hours to mow 4 lawns, then at that rate, how many lawns could be mowed in 35 hours? At what rate were lawns being mowed? c. Find a percent of a quantity as a rate per 100 (e.g., 30% of a quantity means 30/100 times the quantity); solve problems involving finding the whole, given a part and the percent. d. Use ratio reasoning to convert measurement units; manipulate and transform units appropriately when multiplying or dividing quantities.
