8
15
10
12
Multiplying 3 eggs per batch by 5 batches gives 15 eggs. This uses multiplication in a real-world scenario.
Which of the following calculations is correct?
58 + 26 = 84
45 ÷ 9 = 6
72 - 19 = 51
19 Ã - 5 = 75
Only 58 + 26 equals 84; the other calculations are incorrect. This evaluates calculation validity.
What is the next number in the pattern 4, 9, 14, 19, ?
26
24
21
22
Each term increases by 5, so 19 + 5 equals 24. This shows understanding of an arithmetic sequence.

14
12
10
15
Dividing 120 apples by 10 per box yields 12 boxes. This applies division to a packing problem.
What is the value of the digit 7 in the number 7,432?
700
70
7
7000
The digit 7 is in the thousands place, so its value is 7,000. This tests place value understanding.
What is 0.5 Ã - 8?
2
3
4
5
Half of 8 is 4, since 0.5 represents one half. This uses multiplication with decimals.
A concert ticket costs $8. John buys 3 adult tickets and 2 child tickets, where a child ticket costs half the price of an adult ticket. How much does he spend in total?
$36
$34
$32
$30
Adult tickets total $24 (3 Ã - $8) and child tickets cost $4 each (half of $8), so 2 child tickets cost $8. The sum is $32.
(125 - 48) ÷ (4 + 3) = ?
11
14
13
12
First compute 125 - 48 = 77, then 4 + 3 = 7. Dividing 77 by 7 gives 11, showing multi-step operation skills.
What is the next number in the pattern 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, ?
36
35
49
30
These are square numbers: 1², 2², 3², 4², 5², so the next is 6² = 36. This tests recognition of quadratic patterns.
A baker has 350 muffins and packs them into boxes of 12 muffins each. How many full boxes can he fill, and how many muffins will remain?
28 boxes and 10 muffins
29 boxes and 2 muffins
30 boxes and 11 muffins
29 boxes and 11 muffins
Dividing 350 by 12 gives 29 full boxes (29 Ã - 12 = 348) with 2 muffins left over. This involves division with remainders.
What is (3/4 of 240) + (1/2 of 160)?
240
250
280
260

Cheat Sheet

  1. Master the Order of Operations - Math can be like a treasure hunt where each clue matters! PEMDAS tells you to tackle Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, then Addition/Subtraction, always moving left to right. This ensures you unlock the right answer without any mix-ups. Learn more about the Order of Operations
  2. Understand Addition and Subtraction Strategies - Meet your math sidekicks: the split strategy and the jump strategy! Splitting numbers by place value or hopping along a number line makes adding and subtracting feel like child's play. Try it with 47 + 38 by splitting into (40 + 7) + (30 + 8) or jump on a line to land right at the result. Discover addition and subtraction strategies
  3. Apply Multiplication Strategies - Turn big problems into bite-sized pieces with doubling and halving tricks! For example, doubling 15 gives 30 and halving 12 gives 6, so 15 × 12 transforms into the simpler 30 × 6 = 180. It's a clever shortcut that feels like a magic trick for your brain. Explore multiplication strategies
  4. Explore Division Strategies - Division doesn't have to be daunting when you break it into equal groups, arrays, or repeated subtraction! Make 12 ÷ 3 by grouping 12 candies into 3 piles of 4 each and see the answer right in front of you. This hands-on approach turns abstract symbols into real-world fun. Uncover division strategies
  5. Recognize Numeric Patterns - Spotting patterns is like finding secret codes in numbers! Once you notice that multiplying by 5 always ends in 0 or 5, you can predict results quicker than ever. Practice pattern hunts to sharpen your number sense and solve puzzles with ease. Explore numeric patterns
  6. Utilize Mental Math Techniques - Want to calculate faster than a calculator? Learn mental math tricks like rounding and compensation to get quick estimates on the go. For example, estimating 47 + 38 by rounding to 50 + 40 gives you 90 instantly - just adjust for the difference. Discover mental math techniques
  7. Understand Place Value - Dive into the world of digits and their homes in a number! In 345, the "3" lives in the hundreds spot, the "4" in the tens, and the "5" in the ones, giving each digit its true worth. Mastering place value is key to supercharging your addition, subtraction, and beyond. Master place value
  8. Analyze Word Problems - Turn word puzzles into arithmetic adventures by picking out numbers and keywords like "total" or "per." If Sally has 3 boxes with 4 apples each, your brain clicks: that's 3 × 4 = 12 apples! Keep hunting for clues to choose the right operation every time. Word problem strategies
  9. Practice with Real-World Scenarios - Learn math by doing things you love: calculating snack costs, measuring ingredients, or timing your game sessions. Applying arithmetic to your daily adventures makes numbers feel relevant and fun. The more real-world practice you do, the more confident you'll become. Real-world math practice
  10. Review and Self-Test Regularly - Build your math muscles by quizzing yourself with flashcards, timed drills, or online quizzes. Regular review helps lock in what you've learned and highlights areas that need extra love. Turn study sessions into mini-challenges and watch your skills skyrocket! Quizlet flashcards
