FAST Math Grade 3 case studies

The FAST Mathematics Grade 3 assessment is part of Florida's coordinated screening and progress monitoring program, known as the Florida Assessment of Student Thinking (FAST). According to the Florida Department of Education, the FAST program includes VPK through grade 8 Mathematics assessments aligned to the Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking (B.E.S.T.) Standards, and these assessments are administered three times per year. Grade 3 Mathematics therefore sits inside a progress-monitoring model rather than a single end-of-year test: students are screened and monitored at multiple points across the school year so that teachers and families can see growth and adjust instruction. The assessment is intended for Florida students in grade 3 and is administered through Florida's statewide assessment program, which the Bureau of K-12 Assessment oversees, including development, administration, scoring, and reporting. The FAST Math Grade 3 case studies are 5 cases and about 2,771 words.
