    Teaching: Place values from right: ones (7), tens (2), hundreds (8), thousands (4). Hundreds digit is 8.

  2. 6000 [1 mark]
    Teaching: Digit 6 is in thousands place, so its value is 6 × 1000 = 6000. Common mistake: writing 6 instead of 6000.

  3. 2415, 2451, 2514, 2541 [1 mark]
    Teaching: Compare thousands (all 2), then hundreds: 4 vs 4 vs 5 vs 5 → 24xx smallest, then 25xx. Within 24xx: 2415 < 2451; within 25xx: 2514 < 2541.

  4. 3762 [1 mark]
    Teaching: Both have 3 thousands, 7 hundreds. Compare tens: 6 vs 2 → 3762 larger.

  5. 3500 [1 mark]
    Teaching: Rounding to nearest hundred: look at tens digit (5). Since 5 ≥ 5, round up → 3500.

  6. 8000 [1 mark]
    Teaching: Rounding to nearest thousand: look at hundreds digit (8). 8 ≥ 5, round up → 8000.

  7. 1350 [1 mark]
    Teaching: Pattern increases by 50 each step (1250−1200=50). 1300+50=1350.

  8. 6000 [1 mark]
    Teaching: Decreasing by 1000 each time. 7000−1000=6000.

  9. 7234 [1 mark]

  10. 4392 [1 mark]
    Teaching: Even numbers end with 0,2,4,6,8. Only 4392 ends with 2.

Section B (12 marks)

  1. 6439 books [2 marks]
    Working: 3452 + 2987
    = 3000+2000=5000, 400+900=1300, 50+80=130, 2+7=9 → 5000+1300=6300, +130=6430, +9=6439.
    Marking: 1 mark for correct addition setup, 1 mark for final answer.

  2. Nearest ten: 6540; Nearest thousand: 7000 [2 marks]
    Working: Ten: ones digit 3 (<5) → round down to 6540. Thousand: hundreds digit 5 (≥5) → round up to 7000.
    Marking: 1 mark each.

  3. 2600, 2800 [2 marks]

    Marking: 1 mark symbol, 1 mark explanation.

  6. 4 [2 marks]
    Working: For 7_45 to round to 7000, hundreds digit must be <5 (since we round to thousand, look at hundreds). Largest such digit is 4.
    Marking: 1 mark reasoning, 1 mark answer.

Section C (12 marks)
