End-of-the-Year Test - Grade 3
This test is quite long, so I do not recommend having your child/student do it in one sitting. Break it into parts and
administer them either on consecutive days, or perhaps on morning/evening/morning. This is to be used as a
diagnostic test. You may even skip those areas that you already know for sure your student has mastered.
The test does not cover every single concept that is covered in the Math Mammoth Grade 3 Complete Curriculum,
but all the major concepts and ideas are tested here. This test is evaluating the child's ability in the following
content areas:
multiplication tables and basic division facts
mental addition and subtraction
regrouping in addition and subtraction
basic word problems
multiplication and related concepts
clock to the minute and elapsed time calculations
basic money calculations (finding totals and change)
place value and rounding with four-digit numbers
quadrilaterals, perimeter, and area
division and related concepts (remainder, word problems)
measuring lines in inches and centimeters
basic usage of measuring units
the concept of a fraction and mixed number, equivalent fractions, and comparing fractions
Note 1: problems #2 and #3 are done orally and timed. Let the student see the problems. Read each problem aloud,
and wait a maximum of 5-6 seconds for an answer. Mark the problem as right or wrong according to the student's
(oral) answer. Mark it wrong if there is no answer. Then you can move on to the next problem.
You do not have to mention to the student that the problems are timed or that he/she will have 5-6 seconds per
answer, because the idea here is not to create extra pressure by the fact it is timed, but simply to check if the student
has the facts memorized (quick recall). You can say for example (vary as needed):
“I will ask you some multiplication and division questions. Try to answer me as quickly as possible. In each
question, I will only wait a little while for you to answer, and if you do not say anything, I will move on to the next
problem. So just try your best to answer the questions as quickly as you can.”
In order to continue with the Math Mammoth Grade 4 Complete Curriculum, I recommend that the child gain a
minimum score of 80% on this test, and that the teacher or parent review with him any content areas that are found
weak. Children scoring between 70 and 80% may also continue with grade 4, depending on the types of errors
(careless errors or not remembering something, vs. lack of understanding). The most important content areas to
master are the multiplication tables and the word problems, because of the level of logical reasoning needed in
them. Use your judgment.
