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

Marking: 1 mark for correct addition setup, 1 mark for final answer. -
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.
