Answer key with worked solutions
1. 56
7 × 4 = 28, and 7 × 8 is double that: 28 + 28 = 56.
2. 4 × 6 = 24 dots
There are 4 rows with 6 dots in each row, so 4 × 6 = 24.
3. 751
Hundreds: 400 + 200 = 600. Tens: 60 + 80 = 140. Ones: 2 + 9 = 11. Total: 600 + 140 + 11 = 751.
4. 350
347 is between 340 and 350. The ones digit is 7, which is 5 or more, so round up to 350.
5. 3/4
The space from 0 to 1 is split into 4 equal parts. P is on the third mark, so P shows 3/4.
6. 7 crayons
42 ÷ 6 = 7, because 6 × 7 = 42.
7. 24 square units
The rectangle has 4 rows of 6 squares: 4 × 6 = 24 square units.
8. 2/6 > 2/8
Both fractions have 2 pieces. Sixths are larger pieces than eighths, so 2/6 is greater.
9. 27 stickers
Step 1: 5 × 8 = 40 stickers. Step 2: 40 − 13 = 27 stickers left.
10. 6 cm
Two sides of 9 cm make 18 cm. 30 − 18 = 12 cm for the other two sides, so each is 12 ÷ 2 = 6 cm.
