Sample Questions
Student Name
The intent of these sample test materials is to orient teachers and students to the types of
questions on FCAT 2.0 tests. By using these materials, students will become familiar with the
types of items and response formats they will see on the actual test. The sample questions and
answers are not intended to demonstrate the length of the actual test, nor should student
responses be used as an indicator of student performance on the actual test. Additional
information about test items can be found in the FCAT 2.0 Test Item Specifications at
http://fcat.fldoe.org/fcat2/itemspecs.asp.
The FCAT 2.0 Mathematics tests and sample questions and answers are based on the 2007
Next Generation Sunshine State Standards.
The sample questions for students and the sample answers for teachers will only be available
online, at http://fcat.fldoe.org/fcat2/fcatitem.asp.

Directions for Answering the Mathematics Sample Questions

Some of the questions in this booklet are called multiple-choice questions. A multiple-choice
question is followed by several answer choices. Read all the answer choices under each
question and decide which answer is correct. Fill in the bubble next to the answer choice you
think is correct for each multiple-choice question.
Mark your answers in this booklet. If you don’t know how to work a problem, ask your teacher
to explain it to you. Your teacher has the answers to the sample questions.
Calculators are NOT to be used with the Grade 4 FCAT 2.0 Mathematics Sample Questions.
FCAT 2.0 Mathematics will include perforated rulers for students in Grades 3 and 4. You will
need a ruler to answer some of these sample questions. A sample ruler and directions for using
the ruler are provided on the inside BACK cover of this booklet.
Note: The dimensions for the graphics on items that require the use of a ruler may not be
accurate if this Web-based page is printed on a desktop printer because the printer may shrink
content to fit the page; however, during the production of test booklets, the Florida Department
of Education takes quality assurance steps to ensure the dimensions and scale are accurate in the
items that require the student to use a ruler to measure.
Instructions for printing sample documents are provided on the inside BACK cover of this
booklet.
 How to Complete Grade 4 Response Grids

This symbol appears next to questions that require you to fill in your answer on
a grid.

Directions for Completing the Response Grids

1. Work the problem and find an answer.

2. Write your answer in the answer boxes at the top of the grid.
For whole-number, whole-number money, and percent grids:
• Print your answer with the first digit in the left answer box OR with the
last digit in the right answer box.
• Print only one digit in each answer box. Do NOT leave a blank answer box
in the middle of an answer.

For decimal and money grids:

• Use the decimal point to decide where to start your answer.

3. Fill in a bubble under each box in which you wrote your answer.
• Fill in one and ONLY one bubble for each answer box. Do NOT fill in
a bubble under an unused answer box.
• Fill in each bubble by making a solid mark that completely fills the circle.
• You MUST fill in the bubbles accurately to receive credit for your answer.

The FCAT 2.0 Mathematics Grades 3 and 4 tests will require the use of a provided six-inch
ruler with both metric and customary units. Items that require the student to use a ruler to
measure and solve will use the wording “Using the provided ruler . . .” in the question.
Graphics that need to be measured may include a line segment indicating the linear
measure needed.* For example,
Terrence found a stone arrowhead like the one shown below.
