Every answer is arithmetic on the numbers in the question, worked out twice. Licence: Own work. Questions, answer choices and explanations were written for this site. Nothing is copied or reworded from an NJSLA test, a practice test of the state, a released item or another practice test.
How it works
Unofficial practice for the grade 5 math test of the New Jersey Student Learning Assessments (NJSLA). Our own questions, written from the state's 2023 standards; none is a state practice item. Not affiliated with the New Jersey Department of Education.

What the grade 5 NJSLA math test covers
New Jersey's blueprint sorts the test into four reporting categories, and the questions here stay inside its range for each. Number and Operations in Base Ten is place value, powers of 10, rounding, and multiplying and dividing whole numbers and decimals. Fractions is adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing them. Operations and Algebraic Thinking & Measurement is expressions, patterns, unit conversions and volume. Geometry and Data Literacy is the coordinate plane, classifying shapes, line plots and graphs.
Standards and checks
Under each answer is its New Jersey standard, such as 5.NF.B.4, and the steps. Every answer was worked out again from the numbers in the question.
Base ten and fractions are the two largest categories, 11 to 14 items each. Start there.
Questions and answers
How many questions are on the NJSLA math test in grade 5?
41 items, New Jersey's blueprint says. The test is adaptive, and the blueprint sets a range of items for each of the four reporting categories. This page has 41 questions too.
How long is the grade 5 NJSLA math test?
The state's testing times page gives mathematics two sessions of 75 minutes, 150 minutes in all.
Is there an NJSLA math practice test for grade 5 from the state?
Yes. New Jersey has free online practice tests on its assessment portal, linked in the box under the questions. The state says their main purpose is to get students used to the testing tools. This page is separate, unofficial practice.
What score do you need to pass the NJSLA?
New Jersey reports an achievement level and how the student did by reporting category, not a percent. A percent on this page is practice only.
