This is an even number sequence increasing by 2 each time. After 8 comes 10. Therefore, 10 is the correct next term.
How many tens are in the number 30?
30
2
3
10
The number 30 consists of three groups of ten. Each ten adds up to 10, so 30 has 3 tens.
Which number is greater? 15 or 12.
10
12
15
18
When comparing two numbers, the one with the larger value is greater. Since 15 is higher than 12, 15 is greater.
Identify the shape that has four equal sides and four right angles.
Square
Trapezoid
Rhombus
Rectangle
A square has four sides of equal length and all four interior angles are right angles (90°). Other shapes may have equal sides or right angles but not both properties together.
What is 5 + 3?
10
8
7
9
Adding 5 and 3 gives a total of 8. This is straightforward single-digit addition.
What is the next number in the pattern: 5, 10, 15, 20, __?
22
25

The sequence increases by 5 each time. After 20, adding 5 yields 25. Thus, 25 is correct.
What is 12 minus 7?
7
3
6
5
Subtracting 7 from 12 results in 5. This uses basic subtraction strategy.
How many tens and ones are in the number 14?
1 ten and 5 ones
14 tens and 0 ones
1 ten and 4 ones
4 tens and 1 one
The number 14 is made up of one group of ten and four ones. This reflects the place value breakdown of the digits.
Which sign makes the statement correct: 8 __ 12?
>
=
<
Since 8 is less than 12, the correct comparison symbol is '<'. This shows that the left side is smaller than the right.
Which shape has three sides?
Circle
Square
Triangle
Rectangle
A triangle is defined by having three sides. No other common shapes listed have exactly three sides.
Which of these is the longest length?
500 mm
50 cm
200 cm
1 meter
200 cm is equal to 2 meters, which is longer than 1 meter, 50 cm, or 500 mm (50 cm). Thus, 200 cm is the greatest length.
What is the 5th term in the sequence that starts at 2 and adds 2 each time?
10
14
12
8
The terms are 2, 4, 6, 8, 10. The 5th term is 10 after adding 2 each time.
What is 8 + 9?
16
15
18
17
Adding 8 and 9 gives 17. This sum comes from combining the two single-digit numbers.
Which number has three tens and four ones?
304
34
43
40
Three tens equal 30 and four ones equal 4, combining to make 34.
Which object is heaviest?
Eraser
Pencil
Notebook
Textbook
Among these items, a textbook typically contains the most material and therefore weighs more. The pencil, eraser, and notebook are all lighter.
What is the 8th term in the sequence 2, 5, 8, 11, ...?
22
21
23
24
This arithmetic sequence increases by 3 each time. The 8th term is calculated as 2 + 7×3 = 23.
What is 32 minus 19?
14
13
12
11
Subtracting 19 from 32 gives 13. You can count back from 32 down to 19 to confirm the difference.
