What the Mississippi 6th grade math practice test covers
In the MAAP blueprint, Expressions and Equations and The Number System carry more than half of the points between them: exponents, equivalent expressions, one-step equations and inequalities, then dividing fractions, decimals, common factors and negative numbers. Adding and subtracting integers is a grade 6 standard in Mississippi (6.NS.9), and four questions practice it. Ratios, Geometry and Statistics and Probability share the rest.
Where each answer can be checked
Under each worked answer is its standard number, such as 6.RP.3. Look it up in the 2025 Mississippi College- and Career-Readiness Standards for Mathematics to read what the state expects.
The grade 6 reference sheet prints unit conversions, the area of a triangle and the volume of a rectangular prism, and no other formula.
Questions and answers
Is the Mississippi MAP test the same as MAAP?
Mississippi's state test is MAAP, and MAP is a common way of typing it. This page practices the grade 6 mathematics test of MAAP.
Where is the Mississippi Department of Education practice test for grade 6?
On the department's ELA and Math Resources page, linked in the box under the questions. It posts a grade 6 math practice test and a sampler, each with an answer key. This page is separate and unofficial.
Are these 6th grade MAAP practice test items from the real test?
No. Every question was written for this site from the state's grade 6 standards. None is copied or reworded from a MAAP test, a practice test or a sampler.
How many questions are on the 6th grade MAAP math test?
71 in one session of 180 minutes, the blueprint says. 61 of them count, for 65 points, and 10 are field test items.
Can you use a calculator on the 6th grade MAAP math test?
Yes, on every item. The state's policy allows a four-function calculator with square root and percent keys in grade 6, and the online test has one built in. Scientific and graphing calculators are not allowed.
