Original practice questions with worked answers
Attempt each question before expanding its answer. These examples were written for this page; they are not extracts from a downloadable booklet or an official assessment paper.
1. Place value
Question: What is the value of the digit 6 in 4,682?
Show answer and explanation
The digit 6 is in the hundreds column, so its value is 600. Do not answer 6: the digit and its value in this position are different.
2. Subtraction
Question: Calculate 705 − 268. Show a way to check the result.
Show answer and explanation
705 − 268 = 437. Check by addition: 437 + 268 = 705. When regrouping across the zero, record the changed hundreds and tens carefully.
3. Length
Question: A ribbon is 2 m long. A learner cuts off 75 cm. How much ribbon remains?
Show answer and explanation
Convert 2 m to 200 cm first. Then subtract: 200 − 75 = 125 cm. This can also be written as 1 m 25 cm. Keep the quantities in the same unit before subtracting.
How to review your Mathematics answers
- Read the instruction. Identify whether you need to name, explain, compare, calculate or give an example. Answer the task that was actually set.
- Make your reasoning visible. Show working for a calculation or give the detail that supports a written answer. A correct result without understanding is difficult to apply to a new question.
- Correct one difficulty. Record the error and explain the change needed. Try a similar example later without copying the worked answer.
Teachers and parents can use a short set to start a discussion, identify a misunderstanding and select a follow-up task. These activities provide focused practice; they do not certify coverage of every curriculum outcome or replace classroom teaching.
