Grade 5 Florida practice
What fifth graders work on in PM Math
A Real Grade 5 Example
See what Grade 5 practice looks like
This is a real PM Math Grade 5 geometry question, aligned to Florida B.E.S.T. benchmark MA.5.GR.3.1, exploring volume by packing a rectangular prism with unit cubes.
Example Question
Count all the unit cubes in the rectangular prism. How many unit cubes are there?
Show me how
- The prism is packed with equal-size unit cubes with no gaps or overlaps.
- Count the unit cubes one by one. There are 12 in all.
Answer: 12 unit cubes

Florida FAST Mathematics
What is Florida FAST Math for Grade 5?
Florida 5th 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 5 students consistent, standards-aligned practice so the skills FAST assesses feel familiar long before test day.
