FAST Grade 7 Math study guide
FAST Grade 7 Math · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The FAST Grade 7 Mathematics assessment is Florida's computer-based statewide test measuring how well a seventh grader has mastered the Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking (B.E.S.T.) standards for grade 7 math. It is taken by students in Florida public schools at the end of the grade 7 math course, and results are used for school accountability, course placement, and identifying students who need extra support. The FAST Grade 7 Math study guide has 5 sections and about 2,114 words.
01Number Sense and Operations: Rational Numbers, Integers, and Exponents
The Number Sense and Operations domain of Grade 7 FAST checks whether you can compute fluently with positive and negative rational numbers, interpret absolute value, and apply exponent rules to numerical expressions. Items often combine two or three skills in one expression, so the order of operations matters.
444 words, about 2 min02Proportional Reasoning: Ratios, Rates, Percents, and Proportional Relationships
Proportional Reasoning asks you to compare ratios, find unit rates, recognize proportional relationships in tables, graphs, and equations, and solve percent problems set in shopping, tax, tip, and simple-interest contexts. The central idea is a constant multiplier.
439 words, about 2 min03Expressions, Equations, and Inequalities: Linear Relationships
This domain covers simplifying linear expressions, solving two-step equations and inequalities, and translating verbal conditions into symbols. FAST items may ask for the solution, the graph of a solution set, or the equation that models a situation.
384 words, about 2 min04Geometry and Measurement: Scale Drawings, Circles, Area, Surface Area, Volume, and Angles
Geometry and Measurement tests scale drawings, circles, area of composite figures, surface area, volume, and angle relationships. You need to choose the right formula, keep units consistent, and recognize when a scale factor must be squared or cubed.
431 words, about 2 min05Statistics and Probability: Sampling, Data Distributions, and Probability Models
Statistics and Probability asks you to evaluate samples, compare data distributions using center and spread, and use theoretical and experimental probability to make predictions. Questions often require judging whether a conclusion is supported by the data.
