Question 1
What number belongs in the box on the number line?
answer box
300000
Hint: The line is split into 10 equal jumps from 0 to 1,000 000, so each jump is 100,000. Count the jumps to the box.
Question 2
Round each factor to the nearest ten. What is the estimate for 92 × 12?
- 900
- 90
- 9000
- 1000
900
Hint: Round first, then multiply the friendly numbers: multiply the non-zero digits and attach the zeros.
Question 3
A ribbon is 557 cm long. How many pieces 4 cm long can be cut from it?
answer box
139
Hint: Divide. The remainder is not enough to make one more, so leave it out and use only the quotient.
Question 4
What number goes in the box to make the fractions equivalent?
1/6 = /24
answer box
4
Hint: What was 6 multiplied by to get 24? Multiply the numerator by the same number.
Question 5

- 8.0
- 8
- 7.98
- 7.9

Hint: Look at the digit just to the right of the tenths place. If it is 5 or more, round up; if it is less than 5, round down.
Question 6
Which expression matches the rule in the table?
Input and output Input (n) Output 1 5 2 10 3 15 4 20 - 2n + 3
- 6n
- 5n
- n + 5
5n
Hint: Test each expression with every row: replace n with the input and see if you get the output. (3n means 3 × n.)
Question 7
5 × 300 = ?
- 1,500
- 150
- 15,000
