BC Curriculum · from Gradelings · Name: ______________________

  1. Question 1

    Round 436 406 to the nearest ten thousand.

    • 440 000
    • 400 000
    • 436 000
    • 430 000
    Show answer

    440 000

    Hint: Look at the digit just to the right of the ten thousands place. If it is 5 or more, round up; if it is less than 5, round down. Then every place to the right becomes 0.

  2. Question 2

    A school wants to collect 50 000 cans of food. Grade 4 collected 14 756 and Grade 5 collected 16 126. How many more cans do they need?

    • 20 118
    • 33 874
    • 19 118
    • 30 882
    Show answer

    19 118

    Hint: This takes two steps. First add the two amounts collected. Then subtract that total from the goal.

  3. Question 3

    Which product is the greatest?

    • 59 × 15
    • 59 × 31
    • 27 × 23
    • 13 × 21
    Show answer

    59 × 31

    Hint: Estimate each product with friendly numbers. If two estimates are close, work those out exactly.

  4. Question 4

    Which is the best estimate for 923 ÷ 6?

    • 15
    • 300
    • 150
    • 1500
    Show answer

    150

    Hint: Change 923 to a nearby number that divides easily by 6, like 900. Then divide the friendly number.

  5. Question 5

    Which fraction is greater than 1/2?

    • 1/7
    • 2/12
    • 7/11
    • 3/6
    Show answer

    7/11

    Hint: A fraction is greater than 1/2 when its numerator is more than half of its denominator. Exactly half means it equals 1/2.

  6. Question 6

    Write 1/100 as a decimal.

    1/100 = ?

    answer box

    Show answer

    0.01

    Hint: The denominator tells you the last place: 10 → tenths, 100 → hundredths, 1000 → thousandths. Use zeros to fill any empty places.

  7. Question 7

    Solve for a.

    a × 4 = 48

    answer box

    Show answer

    12

    Hint: Think: 4 times what number makes 48? Divide 48 by 4 to undo the multiplying.

  8. Question 8

    Two rectangles have the same perimeter. Must they have the same area?

    • Yes, always.
    • No, their areas can be different.
    • Yes, if they are rectangles.
    • Only if they are both red.
    Show answer

    No, their areas can be different.

    Hint: Try two rectangles with a perimeter of 20 m: 9 m by 1 m and 5 m by 5 m. Find both areas.

  9. Question 9

    A swim meet starts at 2:05 p.m. and ends at 3:45 p.m. How many minutes long is it?

    answer boxmin

    Show answer

    100 min

    Hint: Count up from the start time: first to the next hour, then whole hours (60 minutes each), then the minutes left. Add the pieces.

  10. Question 10

    How many edges does a pentagonal pyramid have?

    answer box

    Show answer

    10

    Hint: Count the edges around the base, then add one edge from each base corner up to the apex.
