Grade 3 Florida practice
What third graders work on in PM Math
A Real Grade 3 Example
See what Grade 3 practice looks like
This is a real PM Math Grade 3 geometry question, aligned to Florida B.E.S.T. benchmark MA.3.GR.2.1, finding the area of a rectangle using unit squares.
Example Question
Count the unit squares. What is the area of this rectangle?
Show me how
- The rectangle is covered with equal-size unit squares.
- Count the unit squares one by one. There are 12 in all.
Answer: 12 square units
Built for Florida parents
See exactly where to focus
Mission Score tracking by strand shows which Grade 3 skills (like fractions or multiplication) need more practice, instead of guessing.
Practice year-round, not just before test day
Missions and benchmark practice fit into everyday routines, so Grade 3 skills stay sharp throughout the school year.
Go beyond generic worksheets
Every question is mapped to a specific Florida B.E.S.T. benchmark, so practice targets the skills Grade 3 students are actually expected to know.
Watch progress add up
Mission Scores, awards, and practice exam results give parents a clear, ongoing view of their child's progress.

Florida FAST Mathematics
What is Florida FAST Math for Grade 3?
Florida 3rd graders take the FAST Mathematics assessment, and the test is based on Florida's B.E.S.T. (Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking) Standards for math, the same six strands covered in the section above.
PM Math is an independent practice tool built around those B.E.S.T. Standards. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Florida Department of Education. The goal is simple: give Grade 3 students consistent, standards-aligned practice so the skills FAST assesses feel familiar long before test day.
