Question 1
What number is 10,000 less than 906,483?
answer box
896483
Hint: Only the ten thousands digit should change by 1. If that digit is 0, regroup with the place to its left.
Question 2
Multiply.
221 × 3 = ?
answer box
663
Hint: Split 221 into place-value parts (200 + 20 + 1). Multiply each part by 3, then add the partial products.
Question 3
What is 639 ÷ 5?
639 ÷ 5
- 127
- 128 R 4
- 126 R 9
- 127 R 4
127 R 4
Hint: Find the greatest multiple of 5 that is not more than 639. What is left over is the remainder, and it must be less than 5.
Question 4
Put these fractions in order from least to greatest.
- 1/3
- 3/6
- 2/3
- 5/6
1/3 → 3/6 → 2/3 → 5/6
Hint: Compare with benchmarks (0, 1/2, 1), or rename the fractions with a common denominator. When numerators match, the greater denominator means smaller pieces.
Question 5
Write 24/100 as a decimal.
24/100 = ?
answer box
0.24
Hint: The denominator tells you the last place: 10 → tenths, 100 → hundredths, 1000 → thousandths. Use zeros to fill any empty places.
Question 6
Which rule describes this pattern?
8, 16, 24, 32, …
- Start at 8 and subtract 8 each time.
- Start at 16 and add 8 each time.
- Start at 8 and add 9 each time.
- Start at 8 and add 8 each time.
Start at 8 and add 8 each time.
Hint: A pattern rule tells the starting number and how the pattern changes each step. Check the first number, then find the difference between neighbors.
Question 7
6 × 40 = ?
- 2,400
- 240
- 24
240
Hint: Do 6 × 4 = 24, then add one zero.
Question 8
A kite has two pairs of equal sides that are…
- opposite each other
- next to each other
- all the same length
next to each other
Hint: Think of a kite in the sky.
Question 9
How many centimeters are in 2.2 meters?
answer boxcentimeters
220 centimeters
Hint: 1 meter = 100 centimeters. 2.2 × 100.
Question 10
Without calculating: 6 × (8968 + 232) is how many times as large as 8968 + 232?
- 7
- 8968
- 232
- 6
6
Hint: 6 × (anything) is 6 times that amount.
