Built to feel like test day. Written to teach the why behind every answer.
This book gives your fourth grader five full-length practice tests for the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) Grade 4 Mathematics exam: 220 items in all, written and reviewed by educators and aligned line-for-line to DESE’s 2017 Massachusetts Curriculum Framework for Mathematics.
Every test mirrors what your child will see on MCAS test day: the 40-item operational load, two-session structure with a STOP marker, the no-calculator rule, and the Cognia-platform item formats: multiple-choice, multiple-select, short-answer, and multi-part constructed-response.
About the question count: and why field-test items matter. On the official MCAS Grade 4 Math, 40 items count toward your student’s score. The real test also embeds unscored *field-test* items DESE uses to develop future exams; students never know which is which. Each practice test here delivers the full on-screen length: 40 scored items plus 4 unmarked field-test items, 44 items per test: so your child builds realistic test-day *endurance*.
