How the FAST reports it

Florida’s FAST Mathematics is a state-specific assessment program aligned to the Florida B.E.S.T. Standards rather than a national framework. The published blueprint organizes results by reporting categories derived from B.E.S.T. domains, with separate blueprints for grades 3-8 FAST Mathematics and the B.E.S.T. Algebra 1 and Geometry EOCs.

Blueprint & weighting

Florida publishes blueprint percentage ranges by reporting category. The 2025-26 fact sheet states each PM event is tied to a blueprint for the full grade-level content, and the test design summary gives approximate item ranges per reporting category; the reporting-category statements note that a minimum of 15% of raw score points should come from each reporting category, with some domains combined when needed.

A hiking sign lists the distance to a waterfall as $4{,}500$ meters. How many kilometers is that? ( $1$ kilometer $= 1{,}000$ meters)

Use a conversion factor with kilometers in the numerator so meters cancel: $4{,}500 \text{ m} \times \dfrac{1 \text{ km}}{1{,}000 \text{ m}} = 4.5 \text{ km}$ .

A community center expects $80$ volunteers for a cleanup day. By $8$ a.m., $60\%$ of the volunteers have signed in. How many volunteers have signed in by $8$ a.m.?

Convert $60\%$ to a decimal and multiply: $0.60 \times 80 = 48$ volunteers.

Practice playeasy

A scrap shipment weighs $2$ tons. How many ounces is that? ( $1$ ton $= 2{,}000$ pounds and $1$ pound $= 16$ ounces)

Convert tons to pounds, then pounds to ounces: $2 \text{ tons} \times \dfrac{2{,}000 \text{ lb}}{1 \text{ ton}} \times \dfrac{16 \text{ oz}}{1 \text{ lb}} = 64{,}000 \text{ oz}$ .

A patient receives $2{,}500$ milliliters of IV fluid. How many liters is that? ( $1$ liter $= 1{,}000$ milliliters)

Use a conversion factor with liters in the numerator so milliliters cancel: $2{,}500 \text{ mL} \times \dfrac{1 \text{ L}}{1{,}000 \text{ mL}} = 2.5 \text{ L}$ .

Practice playeasy

Write $0.875$ as a fraction in lowest terms.

$0.875 = \dfrac{7}{8}$ .

Practice playeasy

A kitchen prepares $500$ jars of jam. Workers label $8\%$ of the jars before the first break. How many jars are labeled before the first break?

Convert $8\%$ to a decimal and multiply: $0.08 \times 500 = 40$ jars.

Practice playeasy

A trail is $6$ kilometers long. How many centimeters is that? ( $1$ kilometer $= 1{,}000$ meters and $1$ meter $= 100$ centimeters)

Convert kilometers to meters, then meters to centimeters: $6 \text{ km} \times \dfrac{1{,}000 \text{ m}}{1 \text{ km}} \times \dfrac{100 \text{ cm}}{1 \text{ m}} = 600{,}000 \text{ cm}$ .
