Answer Key — Version 2 of 5
Paper: SA2 (End-of-Year Examination) Total Marks: 50
Section A: Multiple Choice (10 marks)
1. C — The digit 6 is in the hundreds place. Value = 6 × 100 = 600.
2. A — Compare digit by digit from the left: 3,456 < 3,465 < 3,546 < 3,645. Smallest is 3,456.
3. A — 2,345 rounded to the nearest hundred: the tens digit is 4 (less than 5), so round down → 2,300.
4. C — In 7,083: 7 (thousands), 0 (hundreds), 8 (tens), 3 (ones). The digit in the tens place is 8.
5. B — 4,567 + 1,000 = 5,567.
6. A — Ascending order (smallest to largest): 5,234; 5,243; 5,324; 5,432.
7. D — In 9,123, the digit 9 is in the thousands place.
8. C — An even number ends in 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8. 6,234 ends in 4, so it is even.
9. A — 3,000 + 400 + 50 + 6 = 3,456.
10. B — The pattern increases by 500 each time. 4,000 + 500 = 4,500.
Section B: Short Answer (20 marks)
11. Five thousand, six hundred and seven (1 mark)
Common mistake: Writing "five thousand six hundred seven" without "and" — in Singapore convention, "and" is used before the tens/ones.
12. 3,412 (1 mark)
Working: Three thousand = 3,000; four hundred = 400; twelve = 12. Total = 3,000 + 400 + 12 = 3,412.
13. (a) 400 (1 mark) Working: 8,426 = 8,000 + ___ + 20 + 6. The missing place is hundreds: 4 × 100 = 400.
(b) 7 (1 mark) Working: In 6,739: 6 (thousands), 7 (hundreds), 3 (tens), 9 (ones). The digit in the hundreds place is 7.
14. (a) > (1 mark) Working: 4,562 vs 4,526. Compare: thousands (4=4), hundreds (5=5), tens (6>2). So 4,562 > 4,526.
(b) < (1 mark) Working: 7,890 vs 7,980. Compare: thousands (7=7), hundreds (8<9). So 7,890 < 7,980.
15. 6,432; 6,324; 6,243; 6,234 (2 marks)
Working: Descending order means largest to smallest. Compare: 6,432 > 6,324 > 6,243 > 6,234.
Marking note: Award 2 marks for all correct, 1 mark for at least two numbers in correct position.
16. (a) 350 (1 mark) Working: 347 rounded to nearest ten: ones digit is 7 (≥5), so round up → 350.
(b) 860 (1 mark) Working: 855 rounded to nearest ten: ones digit is 5 (≥5), so round up → 860.
Common mistake: Some students round 855 down to 850. Remind them: 5 or above rounds up.
17. 1,800 (1 mark)
Working: The pattern increases by 200 each time. 1,600 + 200 = 1,800. Check: 1,800 + 200 = 2,000 ✓
18. 1,357 (1 mark)
Working: To form the smallest 4-digit number, arrange digits in ascending order: 1, 3, 5, 7 → 1,357.
Common mistake: Students may write 7,531 (largest) instead of smallest. Read the question carefully.
Section C: Structured / Problem Solving (20 marks)
19. (a) Library B (1 mark)
Working: Compare all four numbers: 4,765 > 4,657 > 4,576 > 4,567. Library B has the most books.
(b) Library A; Library D; Library C; Library B (2 marks)
Working: Ascending order (least to most): 4,567 (A) < 4,576 (D) < 4,657 (C) < 4,765 (B).
Marking note: Award 2 marks for all correct, 1 mark for at least two libraries in correct position.
(c) 198 books (2 marks)
Working: 4,765 − 4,567 = 198.
4,765
− 4,567
--------
198
Marking note: Award 1 mark for correct method (subtraction set up correctly) even if final answer is wrong.
20. (a) 5,430 sweets (2 marks)
Working: 3,250 + 2,180 = 5,430.
3,250
+ 2,180
--------
5,430
Marking note: Award 1 mark for correct addition set up.
(b) 3,070 sweets (3 marks)
Working: First find total sold (from part a): 5,430. Then subtract from total: 8,500 − 5,430 = 3,070.
8,500
− 5,430
--------
3,070
Marking note: Award 1 mark for correct method (subtraction), 1 mark for correct working, 1 mark for correct final answer. If student uses a different valid method (e.g., subtracting each day separately: 8,500 − 3,250 = 5,250; 5,250 − 2,180 = 3,070), award full marks.
