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.

For two independent events, the probability of an even roll then a head: $P(A)=\tfrac{3}{6}$ , $P(B)=\tfrac{1}{2}$ . Find $P(A \text{ and } B)$ as a simplified fraction.

Multiply: $P(A \text{ and } B) = \tfrac{3}{6} \times \tfrac{1}{2} = \tfrac{1}{4}$ .

In $\triangle GHI$ , $\angle G$ and $\angle I$ are congruent. The measure of $\angle H$ is $88.4^{\circ}$ . What is the measure of $\angle G$ ?

Each congruent angle is $\dfrac{180^{\circ} - 88.4^{\circ}}{2} = 45.8^{\circ}$ .

What is the sum of the interior angles of a nonagon?

A nonagon has $9$ sides: $(9-2) \times 180 = 1260°$ .

In $\triangle DEF\textsf{,}$ $m\angle D$ and $m\angle E$ together measure $127^{\circ}\textsf{.}$ What is $m\angle F\textsf{?}$

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is $180^{\circ}\textsf{.}$ So $m\angle F = 180^{\circ} - 127^{\circ} = 53^{\circ}\textsf{.}$

A game spinner has $6$ equal sections numbered $1$ through $6$ . The spinner is spun twice. What is the probability that both spins land on a number greater than $4$ ?

$P(\text{greater than }4) = \dfrac{2}{6} = \dfrac{1}{3}$ on each spin. The spins are independent, so $P(\text{both}) = \dfrac{1}{3} \times \dfrac{1}{3} = \dfrac{1}{9}$ .

A trend line for the number of car washes a club holds $x$ and the club's funds $y$ in dollars is $y = 75x + 120$ . According to the line, how many dollars did the club have before holding any car washes?

At $x = 0$ , $y = 120$ dollars: the $y$ -intercept is the starting amount.
