Paper: SA2 (End-of-Year Examination) — Version 1 of 5 Answer Key & Marking Scheme

Section A: Multiple Choice (10 marks)

1. What is the value of the digit 6 in 4,672?

Answer: (C) 600

Working: In 4,672, the digit 6 is in the hundreds place. Value of 6 = 6 × 100 = 600. Marking: 2 marks for correct answer. Common mistake: choosing (A) 6 (the digit itself, not its value).

2. Which of the following is the smallest number?

Answer: (B) 3,124

Working: All numbers start with 3 (thousands). Compare hundreds digit: 1 < 2 < 4. So 3,124 is smallest. Marking: 2 marks for correct answer.

3. Round 4,567 to the nearest hundred.

Answer: (C) 4,600

Working: The tens digit is 6, which is ≥ 5, so round up the hundreds place: 4,567 → 4,600. Marking: 2 marks for correct answer. Common mistake: choosing (A) 4,500 (rounding down incorrectly).

4. What is 7,000 + 300 + 50 + 8 in numeral form?

Answer: (A) 7,358

Working: 7,000 + 300 + 50 + 8 = 7,358. Marking: 2 marks for correct answer.

5. Which number comes next in the pattern?

Answer: (C) 2,850

Working: The pattern increases by 100 each time: 2,750 + 100 = 2,850. Marking: 2 marks for correct answer.

Section B: Short Answer (20 marks)

6. Write the following number in words.

Answer: Five thousand, eight hundred and nine

Marking: 2 marks. Award 2 marks for fully correct answer. Award 1 mark if "five thousand" and "eight hundred" are correct but "nine" is missing or incorrect. Accept "five thousand eight hundred and nine" or "five thousand, eight hundred and nine."

7. Arrange the following numbers in ascending order.

Answer: 4,123, 4,213, 4,312, 4,321

Working: Compare from the hundreds place: 1 < 2 < 3. For 4,312 and 4,321 (both have 3 hundreds), compare tens: 1 < 2, so 4,312 < 4,321. Marking: 2 marks for all four correct. Award 1 mark if at least two numbers are in the correct position.

8. What is the place value of the digit 3 in the number 8,347?

Answer: Hundreds

Working: In 8,347: 8 is in the thousands place, 3 is in the hundreds place, 4 is in the tens place, 7 is in the ones place. Marking: 2 marks for correct answer. Accept "hundreds place."

9. Fill in the missing number.

Answer: 6,500

Working: The pattern increases by 100 each time: 6,400 + 100 = 6,500. Marking: 2 marks for correct answer.

10. Round 3,845 to the nearest ten.

Answer: 3,850

Working: The ones digit is 5, which is ≥ 5, so round up the tens place: 3,845 → 3,850. Marking: 2 marks for correct answer. Common mistake: writing 3,840 (rounding down instead of up).

11. Use the digits 2, 8, 5, and 0 to form the largest 4-digit number possible.

Answer: 8,520

Working: To form the largest number, arrange digits from largest to smallest: 8, 5, 2, 0 → 8,520. Note: 0 cannot be in the thousands place. Marking: 2 marks for correct answer. Common mistake: 8,502 or 8,025 (not the largest arrangement).

12. Find the difference between the largest 4-digit number and the smallest 4-digit number.

Answer: 8,999

Working: Largest 4-digit number = 9,999. Smallest 4-digit number = 1,000. Difference = 9,999 − 1,000 = 8,999. Marking: 2 marks. Award 1 mark for correct identification of both numbers (9,999 and 1,000) even if subtraction is wrong.

13. In the number 9,461, what is the value of the digit 9?

Answer: 9,000

Working: The digit 9 is in the thousands place. Value = 9 × 1,000 = 9,000. Marking: 2 marks for correct answer. Common mistake: writing "9" (the digit itself, not its value).

14. Write the following number in expanded form.

Answer: 3,507 = 3,000 + 500 + 0 + 7 (or 3,000 + 500 + 7)

Working: 3 is in the thousands place (3,000), 5 is in the hundreds place (500), 0 is in the tens place (0), 7 is in the ones place (7). Marking: 2 marks. Award 2 marks for all four correct terms. Award 1 mark if at least two terms are correct. Accept omission of the zero term (3,000 + 500 + 7).

15. Which is greater: 6,099 or 6,909?

Answer: 6,909 is greater.

Working: Both numbers have 6 thousands. Compare the hundreds digit: 0 < 9. Therefore, 6,909 is greater than 6,099. Marking: 2 marks. Award 1 mark for correct answer (6,909) and 1 mark for correct explanation/comparison. Award 1 mark if answer is correct but no explanation is given.

Section C: Structured / Problem Solving (20 marks)

16. A school library has 3,275 English books and 2,480 Mathematics books.

(a) How many books are there altogether?

Answer: 5,755 books

Working:

(a) Arrange the towns from the smallest to the largest population.

Answer: Town B (7,045), Town D (7,405), Town A (7,450), Town C (7,540)

Working: All have 7 thousands. Compare hundreds: 0 < 4 < 5. For Town A (7,450) and Town D (7,405), both have 4 hundreds; compare tens: 0 < 5, so Town D < Town A. Marking: 2 marks. Award 1 mark if at least two towns are in correct position.

(b) What is the difference between the largest and smallest population?

Answer: 495

Working: Largest = 7,540 (Town C). Smallest = 7,045 (Town B).

  7,540
- 7,045
-------
    495

7,540 − 7,045 = 495 Marking: 2 marks. Award 1 mark for correct working, 1 mark for correct answer.
