Sample exercises Grades 2–5 · Number skills A pupil says 48 + 27 = 615 because 4 + 2 = 6 and 8 + 7 = 15. Correct the answer and explain. Answer and explanation 48 + 27 = 75. Regroup 15 ones as 1 ten and 5 ones; 4 + 2 + 1 = 7 tens.
48 + 27 = 75. Regroup 15 ones as 1 ten and 5 ones; 4 + 2 + 1 = 7 tens.
Grades 2–5 · Number skills A pupil says 302 − 198 = 196. Use a nearby-number strategy to correct it. Answer and explanation 302 − 200 + 2 = 104. Subtracting 200 removes two too many, so add two back.
302 − 200 + 2 = 104. Subtracting 200 removes two too many, so add two back.
Grades 2–5 · Number skills Which is a useful estimate for 49 × 6? 5 × 6 = 30 49 + 6 = 55 50 × 6 = 300 500 × 6 = 3000 Answer and explanation 50 × 6 = 300
50 × 6 = 300
Grades 2–5 · Number skills In 508, what does the digit 5 represent? 500 0.5 50 5 Answer and explanation 500
500
Grades 2–5 · Number skills A pupil says 6 × 4 must equal 6 + 4. Explain the difference. Answer and explanation Multiplication can represent six equal groups of four, totaling 24; adding 6 and 4 gives 10.
