How is the Florida BEST Math Test Prep Organized?
As you can see from the picture the spiral review has one day per page. Each day includes 4 questions that assess 4 different standards. There are 9 days total for third and fifth grade with a few standards repeating to review the multiple ways a standard could be assessed. There are 10 days of review for 4th grade.
For example 3.MA.NSO.2.1 is included twice to review finding the sum and difference of two numbers.
At the bottom of the page there is a section for the teacher or students to record their score for the review.
How to Use the Florida BEST Math Test Prep?
There are many ways to use the Florida BEST math test prep. You can print it as a packet and give it to each student to keep and work on over the course of ten separate days.
Printing one sheet at a time and working through the countdown that way is another option. You could view each sheet as a separate activity.
When to Use the Florida BEST Math Test Prep
- Small Group-perfect review for your bubble students that you are concerned about passing the FAST. Helps make sure they are familiar with all the different types of questions.

- Whole Group-use whole group to review test taking strategies for each question type.

- Centers-can be used as an independent activity or completed with partners.
Should I Grade the 3rd, 4th, and 5th Grade Math Test Prep
This depends on the way you assigned the spiral review and the time of year.
If you are using this during the middle of the year and students completed it with a partner, then I would say no. Check for completion and maybe use to collect data for your future small groups and focus lessons.
If students complete the review independently and have learned all the standards for the entire year, then I would go ahead and grade the review so you can get an idea of how the students will perform on the math FAST assessment.
Is There More Florida BEST Math Test Prep?
Hoping to make a 50 or 100 day review soon. Check back in a few months. I will post the completed resources here when they are completed.
The 3rd Grade Florida BEST Math Journal Pages are a great option for review. Check them out here to see if they can help your students prepare the FAST assessment.
Hoping to complete the 4th grade and 5th grade journal pages this summer.
