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.

Write $5 \times 5 \times 5$ using an exponent.

The base $5$ appears $3$ times as a factor, so $5 \times 5 \times 5 = 5^{3}$ .

What is $\dfrac{3}{9} \div \dfrac{5}{8}$ ?

Multiply by the reciprocal: $\dfrac{3}{9} \times \dfrac{8}{5} = \dfrac{24}{45} = \dfrac{8}{15}$ .

Evaluate: $2 + 7 \cdot 9 - 2$ .

Multiply first: $7 \cdot 9 = 63$ . Then $2 + 63 - 2 = 63$ .

How many integers satisfy $-\dfrac{11}{2} < x \leq 4$ ?

$-\dfrac{11}{2} = -5.5$ , so integers greater than $-5.5$ start at $-5$ ; the closed upper bound includes $4$ . Integers: $-5, -4, \ldots, 0, \ldots, 4$ ; $0$ is an integer and must be counted. Total: $4 - (-5) + 1 = 10$ ; the $+1$ counts both $-5$ and $4$ inclusive.
