SAMPLE 4 FCAT Mathematics Sample Answer Key
Strand: A—Number Sense, Concepts, and Operations
Old Benchmark: MA.A.2.2.1 The student uses place-value concepts of grouping based upon powers of ten (thousandths, hundredths, tenths, ones, tens, hundreds, thousands) within the decimal number system
New Benchmark: MA.4.A.6.1 Use and represent numbers through millions in various contexts, including estimation of relative sizes of amounts or distances
To decide what value the digit 3 has, think about how to read the number and the place each digit holds The number is two thousand, two hundred thirty-five The first 2 is in the thousands place The second 2 is in the hundreds place The 3 is in the tens place, and the 5 is in the ones place
The 3 has a value of 3 tens, which is equivalent to 30
Strand: A—Number Sense, Concepts, and Operations
Old Benchmark: MA.A.3.2.2 The student selects the appropriate operation to solve specific problems involving addition, subtraction, and multiplication of whole numbers, decimals, and fractions, and division of whole numbers
New Benchmark: MA.4.A.4.3 Recognize and write algebraic expressions for functions with two operations
To solve this problem, think about the problem If 3 alligators each laid 30 eggs,
then 3 � 30 eggs were laid If all but 7 eggs hatched, then those 7 eggs must be
removed from the total number of eggs laid, because they did not hatch
So 3 � 30 � 7 eggs hatched
Therefore, the operation symbols that should be used in the boxes are
� and �, respectively

To find the range of the temperatures shown in the graph, first find the highest and the lowest temperatures The range is the difference between the highest and lowest temperatures The highest temperature shown is for Key West, which is 79°F The lowest is for Jacksonville, which is 68°F The difference can be found by subtracting:
79 � 68 � 11
The range is 11°F

Old Benchmark: MA.A.4.2.1 The student uses and justifies different estimation strategies in a real-world problem situation and determines the reasonableness of results of calculations in a given problem situation (Also assesses MA.B.3.2.1 solves real-world problems involving estimates of measurements, including length, time, weight, temperature, money, perimeter, area, and volume.)
New Benchmark: MA.4.A.6.6 Estimate and describe reasonableness of estimates; determine the appropriateness of an estimate versus an exact answer
First Strategy:
20
About 18
It appears that each bag can be divided into 3 sections Since 18 is an estimate (about
18 oranges) and the bag isn’t a perfect rectangle, 15 can be used as an estimate of the top narrower section of the bags and 20 in the middle and bottom sections There are 4 top sections of 15 oranges each, or 15 � 4 � 60 There are 8 remaining sections of 20 oranges each, or 20 � 8 � 160
60 � 160 � 220
Second Strategy:
To find the number of oranges that are needed to fill all 4 bags to the top, first look at the number of oranges in the first bag There are about 18 oranges in the bag, and the bag is about one-third full So the first bag holds about 18 � 3 oranges, or 54 oranges Each bag holds the same amount, so 4 bags each hold about 54 oranges, and 54 � 4 � 216 The answer choice closest to 216 is 210 The other answer choices are not as close to 216 as 210 The best answer choice is 210
