Operations Showdown: Practice Test Answer Key
Unit 4 • Grade 3
Page 1 of 2 (Q1–Q7)
Item Q1 3.OA.C.7
Correct Answer: C (8) Target: Fluently multiply & divide within 100
Solution: \(6 \times 8 = 48\). The unknown factor is 8 because \(48 \div 6 = 8\).
Misconception: Confusing multiplication facts with neighboring multiples like \(6 \times 7 = 42\) (Option B).
Item Q2 3.OA.D.8
Correct Answer: 21 markers Target: Two-step word problem
Solution: Step 1 (Total bought): \(4 \times 9 = 36\). Step 2 (Given away): \(36 - 15 = 21\) markers.
Misconception: Stopping after Step 1 ("36 markers") or adding \(36 + 15 = 51\).
Item Q3 3.OA.A.3
Correct Answer: 7 students Target: Equal shares division word problem
Solution: \(28 \div 4 = 7\). 28 students shared equally among 4 teams yields 7 students per team.
Misconception: Thinking "split" means subtracting \(28 - 4 = 24\).
Item Q4 3.MD.C.7c
Correct Answer: 40 square in. Target: Area & Distributive Property
Solution: Shaded area \(= 4 \times 4 = 16\). Unshaded area \(= 4 \times 6 = 24\). Total \(= 16 + 24 = 40\) sq in. Or \(4 \times (4 + 6) = 4 \times 10 = 40\) sq in.
Misconception: Finding perimeter (\(4 + 10 + 4 + 10 = 28\)) or writing only shaded tiles (16).
Item Q5 3.OA.C.7
Correct Answer: D (56) Target: Basic multiplication fact
Solution: \(8 \times 7 = 56\). Derived via \((8 \times 5) + (8 \times 2) = 40 + 16 = 56\).
Misconception: Adding factors \(8 + 7 = 15\) (Option A), or confusing with \(8 \times 6 = 48\) (Option B).
Item Q6 3.OA.A.2
Correct Answer: B (4 groups of 6) Target: Equal shares visual representation
Solution: \(24 \div 4 = 6\). Model B illustrates 4 equal groups with 6 apples each (\(4 \times 6 = 24\)).
Misconception: Model C has 24 apples total but is divided into 3 groups of 8 (wrong number of groups).
Item Q7 3.OA.A.4
Correct Answer: B (6) Target: Determine unknown divisor
Solution: \(4 = 24 \div 6\) because \(4 \times 6 = 24\).
Misconception: Selecting 8 (\(24 \div 8 = 3\)) or 4 (\(24 \div 4 = 6\)).

Unit 4 • Grade 3
Page 2 of 2 (Q8–Q14)
Item Q8 3.OA.A.3
Correct Answer: D (32 cups) Target: Equal groups multiplication
Solution: \(4 \text{ cups} \times 8 \text{ loaves} = 32 \text{ cups}\).
Misconception: Adding \(4 + 8 = 12\) cups (Option B) rather than multiplying rate.
Item Q9 3.OA.D.8
Correct Answer: D (\(B = 6 \times 2 \times 2\)) Target: Multi-factor equation modeling
Solution: 6 members \(\times 2\) bicycles \(= 12\); \(12 \times 2\) bottles \(= 24\) bottles. Equation is \(B = 6 \times 2 \times 2\).
Misconception: Using addition for repeated equal groups (\(6 + 2 \times 2\) or \(6 + 2 + 2\)).
Item Q10 3.OA.A.4
Correct Answer: B (7) Target: Unknown factor in equation
Solution: \(3 \times 7 = 21\). The unknown factor is \(21 \div 3 = 7\).
Misconception: Subtracting \(21 - 3 = 18\) (Option D).
Item Q11 3.OA.B.5
Correct Answer: C (\(6 \times (4 \times 3)\)) Target: Associative Property
Solution: Regrouping factors leaves product unchanged: \((6 \times 4) \times 3 = 6 \times (4 \times 3) = 72\).
Misconception: Swapping multiplication for addition inside or outside parentheses.
Item Q12 3.OA.B.6
Correct Answer: D (\(9 \times \square = 36\), value is 4) Target: Division as unknown factor
Solution: \(36 \div \square = 9\) is directly related to \(9 \times \square = 36\). Since \(9 \times 4 = 36\), unknown is 4.
Misconception: Confusing division with addition/subtraction inverse relationships.
Item Q13 3.OA.A.2
Correct Answer: B (7 stickers) Target: Division into equal groups
Solution: \(42 \div 6 = 7\) stickers per envelope.
Misconception: Minor fact recall slip choosing 6 (\(6 \times 6 = 36\)) or 8 (\(6 \times 8 = 48\)).
Item Q14 3.OA.D.9
Correct: Top Box = 35; Bottom Box = 40 Target: Multiplication table patterns
Solution: Column 2 shows multiples of 5: Row 7 has \(7 \times 5 = \mathbf{35}\); Row 8 has \(8 \times 5 = \mathbf{40}\).
Misconception: Incrementing by 1 instead of continuing the row/column multiples pattern.
