What is the sum of 47 and 36?
83
93
82
73
To find the sum of 47 and 36, we first align the digits by place value and add the ones place: 7 + 6 = 13. We write down 3 and carry over 1 to the tens place. Then we add 4 + 3 = 7 and include the carried 1, giving us 8. Thus, 47 + 36 = 83. Visit for more on addition strategies.
What is 85 minus 29?
66
56
64
54
When subtracting 29 from 85, we align digits and subtract the ones place: 5 - 9 requires borrowing from the tens place. After borrowing, the ones place becomes 15 - 9 = 6 and the tens place is now 7 - 2 = 5. Therefore, 85 - 29 = 56. For more subtraction practice, see .
What is 6 × 7?
36
42
40
48
Multiplication of 6 by 7 can be recalled from the times table: 6 groups of 7 objects equal 42 objects in total. Understanding these basic facts helps build speed and fluency with multiplication. Regular practice with multiplication tables is recommended. Learn more at .
What is 45 divided by 5?
7
6
9
8
Division of 45 by 5 asks how many groups of 5 fit into 45. Since 5 × 9 = 45, the quotient is 9 with no remainder. Practicing division facts helps in understanding the inverse relationship between multiplication and division. See for more examples.
In the number 462, which digit is in the tens place?
5
2
6
4
Place value tells us that the rightmost digit is the ones place, the next digit to the left is the tens place, and so on. In 462, the 2 is in the ones place, and 6 is in the tens place. That digit represents six tens or 60. Explore more at .
What is the sum of 129 and 247?
368
374
382
376
To add 129 and 247, align digits by place value. Add the ones: 9 + 7 = 16, carry 1. Then add tens: 2 + 4 = 6 plus 1 carried equals 7. Finally add hundreds: 1 + 2 = 3. The total is 376. More on multi-digit addition at .
What is 402 minus 158?
244
246
234
254
Subtract 158 from 402 by aligning place values. In the ones place, 2 - 8 requires borrowing from the tens. After borrowing, the calculation is 12 - 8 = 4. Continue borrowing and subtracting to find 402 - 158 = 244. For detailed steps, visit .
What is 12 × 11?
144
120
121
132
Multiplying 12 by 11 can be done by adding one group of 12 to ten groups of 12: 10 × 12 = 120, plus 12 = 132. You can also use patterns in multiplication tables. Recognizing this shortcut can speed up calculations. See for more tips.
What is 56 divided by 8?
9
6
8
7
Division of 56 by 8 asks how many groups of 8 fit into 56. Since 8 × 7 = 56 exactly, the quotient is 7. Practicing these facts builds fluency in division. Additional practice is available at .
Which fraction is equivalent to 1/2?
2/3
4/5
5/8
3/6
Two fractions are equivalent if you multiply or divide numerator and denominator by the same number. Multiplying 1/2's numerator and denominator by 3 gives 3/6. That shows they represent the same value. Learn more about equivalent fractions at .
If you have 3 packs of stickers and each pack contains 24 stickers, how many stickers do you have in total?
96
72
60
48
This problem requires multiplication: 3 packs × 24 stickers per pack. Multiplying gives 3 × 24 = 72 stickers in total. Recognizing this structure helps solve group problems easily. Visit for group multiplication examples.
You have $2.75 and spend $1.45. How much money remains?
$1.20
$1.30
$1.15
$1.40
Subtracting decimals is similar to whole numbers but you align the decimal points. Compute 2.75 - 1.45: in the hundredths place, 5 - 5 = 0; tenths place, 7 - 4 = 3; and dollars place, 2 - 1 = 1. So, $1.30 remains. More on decimal subtraction: .
Which fraction is larger: 3/5 or 4/7?
4/7
3/5
They are equal
Cannot be determined
To compare 3/5 and 4/7, convert each to decimals or use cross multiplication. 3/5 = 0.6, and 4/7 ? 0.571. Since 0.6 > 0.571, 3/5 is larger. Cross multiplication (3×7 vs. 5×4) also shows 21 > 20. Learn more at .
What is the value of the digit 7 in the number 7,406?
700
7,000
700,000
70
In place value, the digit farthest to the left represents thousands in a four-digit number. The 7 in 7,406 is in the thousands place, so it stands for 7,000. Understanding this helps with reading and writing large numbers. See for more details.
What is 5 × 8 plus 36 ÷ 6?
38
40
56
46
Order of operations tells us to multiply and divide before adding. Compute 5 × 8 = 40 and 36 ÷ 6 = 6. Then add the results: 40 + 6 = 46. Practicing these rules ensures correct answers. More on PEMDAS at .
What is the perimeter of a rectangle that has a length of 3.5 cm and a width of 2.25 cm?
10.75 cm
12.0 cm
11.5 cm
13.5 cm
Perimeter of a rectangle is 2 × (length + width). Add 3.5 cm + 2.25 cm to get 5.75 cm and then multiply by 2 to find 11.5 cm. Understanding decimal addition and multiplication is crucial here. Explore perimeter formulas at .

Cheat Sheet

  1. Place Value Power -

    Understanding place value helps students see that a digit's position determines its value (e.g., 345 = 3×100 + 4×10 + 5×1). Using a place value chart from National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) can reinforce how to break and rebuild numbers with hundreds, tens, and ones.

  2. Smart Addition & Subtraction Strategies -

    Encourage mental math by decomposing numbers (e.g., 47 + 38 = 47 + 30 + 8 = 85) or using a number line to visualize jumps. Aligning numbers in columns and practicing regrouping techniques reflects Common Core methods for efficient calculation.

  3. Basic Multiplication Facts -

    Mastering 0 - 10 times tables with arrays and skip-counting builds confidence (e.g., draw a 4×6 dot array to see 24). Mnemonics like "5, 10, 15, 20…" help cement patterns and reduce reliance on calculators (source: Math Is Fun).

  4. Fractions Fundamentals -

    Third graders learn that fractions represent equal parts of a whole; the numerator tells how many parts are shaded, and the denominator shows the total parts (e.g., 3/4 means 3 out of 4). Visual models, like fraction bars or circle pies recommended by the Common Core State Standards, make these ideas concrete.

  5. Interpreting Data & Graphs -

    Reading and creating bar graphs or pictographs lets students organize information visually (e.g., graphing the number of pets classmates own). Following guidelines from the U.S. Department of Education, learners practice setting scales, labeling axes, and drawing bars to represent data accurately.
