The workbook follows the order you’d teach it. Find out what students already know, teach the gaps one benchmark at a time, mix everything together, then practice the test routine twice.

17 questions and a guide that shows which skills to teach first.
Learn It + practice
A worked example, then test-style practice, for all 26 benchmarks.
Every big 1st grade idea

The 1st grade FAST math test is all multiple choice. Most questions have four answer choices, and some have two or three when the skill calls for it. Many choices are pictures: clocks, coins, shapes and base-ten blocks. The workbook uses the same styles, so the format already feels familiar when test day comes.

What’s on the FAST 1st grade math test?
In kindergarten through 2nd grade, the FAST math test is FAST Star Math. Students take it online with headphones on, in one session. It has 34 questions, and it is computer-adaptive, so the questions get harder or easier as each child answers. Students get up to 4 minutes per question, and most finish in about 20 to 30 minutes. There’s no calculator, and blank scratch paper is allowed.
The questions cover the grade 1 B.E.S.T. math benchmarks: number sense and operations (the biggest share), fractions, algebraic reasoning, measurement (length, time and money), geometric reasoning, and data. Each practice test in the book covers all 26 benchmarks at least once, with a second question on the core number skills, for 34 questions in all.
Every skill page is labeled with its B.E.S.T. benchmark code (MA.1.NSO.1.1, MA.1.M.2.1 and so on), so you can match it to your own scope and sequence.

When do 1st graders take the FAST math test?
First graders take FAST Star Math three times a year. For 2026–27 the windows are August 3 to September 25 (PM1), November 30 to January 22 (PM2) and April 12 to May 28, 2027 (PM3). Each district picks its testing days inside each window. Here’s an easy way to spread your FAST 1st grade math test prep across the year.
Now: give the pretest
Read it aloud in small groups, score it with the guide and circle the skills each child needs most.
Before PM2: one short part
Try one part of a practice test so the routine feels normal before the winter check.
Winter: teach the gaps
Use one Learn It + practice set a few times a week, in the order your pretest points to.
February: mix it up
Mixed review brings numbers, time, coins and shapes back around so nothing fades.
March: Practice Test 1
Give Part 1 one day and Part 2 the next, then reteach what slipped.
Early April: Practice Test 2
One more full run before the spring window opens April 12. Then hand out the certificate!

FAST 1st grade math test prep: questions teachers ask
Is this workbook made by the Florida Department of Education?
No. Have Fun Teaching wrote every question from scratch, and a certified teacher reviewed the book. It is aligned to Florida’s B.E.S.T. Standards for Mathematics and built from the published FAST K–2 test design, but it is an independent practice resource and does not use real test items.
How long is the FAST 1st grade math test?
FAST Star Math has 34 multiple choice questions in one session. Students get up to 4 minutes per question, and most finish in about 20 to 30 minutes. Each practice test in this workbook also has 34 questions, split into two short parts so first graders can take it over two days.
How much does the workbook cost?
The Printable PDF is $9.99 for all 180 full-color pages, and you can print as many copies as your students need. With a Have Fun Teaching membership, the PDF is included at no extra cost, along with the Printable PDF of every other state test prep workbook and the rest of the library.
Do 1st graders need to read well to take the FAST math test?
Not perfectly. Students wear headphones, and questions whose words may be hard to read have audio. Many answer choices are pictures, like clocks, coins and shapes. In the workbook, you can read directions and questions aloud in small groups, so early readers practice the math, not the reading.
When should I start FAST 1st grade math test prep?
Start with the pretest now, then teach the skills it flags a few times a week through winter. For 2026–27, the windows are August 3 to September 25, November 30 to January 22, and April 12 to May 28, 2027. Give Practice Test 1 in March and Practice Test 2 in early April.
Walk into test day ready.
Start with the pretest this week, and have every benchmark covered by spring.
