Version 1 of 5 – Answer Key

Section A: Multiple Choice (10 marks)

Question	Answer	Explanation
1	D) 7 000	In 7 439, the digit 7 is in the thousands place. The value of 7 in this position is $7 \times 1000 = 7000$ . Common mistake: Choosing "7" (the digit itself) instead of its place value.
2	C) 4 285	Compare digit by digit from left to right: all have 4 in thousands. In hundreds: 2 < 5 < 8. So 4 285 (hundreds digit 2) is smallest. Order: 4 285, 4 456, 4 528, 4 852.
3	B) 5 307	$5000 + 300 + 7 = 5307$ . Breaking down: 5 thousands = 5000, 3 hundreds = 300, 0 tens = 0, 7 ones = 7. Total: 5000 + 300 + 0 + 7 = 5307.
4	D) 6 000	In 6 218, the digit 6 is in the thousands place (leftmost position in a 4-digit number). Value = $6 \times 1000 = 6000$ .
5	B) 3 654, 3 564, 3 465, 3 456	Compare from thousands (all 3), then hundreds: 6 > 5 > 4. For 3 456 vs 3 465: tens place 5 > 6 is false, so 3 465 > 3 456. Descending order: 3654, 3564, 3465, 3456.
6	A) 2	8 020 = 8 thousands + 0 hundreds + 2 tens + 0 ones. The tens digit is 2, so there are 2 tens. Not "20"—that would be the value (20), but the question asks how many tens.
7	C) 6 889	"100 more than" means add 100: $6789 + 100 = 6889$ .
8	A) 1 724	"Difference between" means subtract: $5000 - 3276$ . Working: $5000 - 3000 = 2000$ ; $2000 - 200 = 1800$ ; $1800 - 70 = 1730$ ; $1730 - 6 = 1724$ . Or standard subtraction algorithm.
9	A) 0	Given information: thousands=4, hundreds=8 (twice 4), ones=7. Number is 4 8 _ 7. But question states the number is 4 807, so tens digit must be 0.
10	B) 10 000	$9999 + 1 = 10000$ . This is the next thousand after 9 999—an important boundary number showing how 4-digit numbers roll over to 5 digits.

Section B: Short Answer (12 marks)

11. Write 5 608 in words. [2 marks]

Answer: Five thousand, six hundred and eight

Working/Explanation:

5 in thousands place → "five thousand"
6 in hundreds place → "six hundred"
0 in tens place → nothing to say (we don't say "zero tens")
8 in ones place → "and eight"

Marking: 1 mark for "five thousand six hundred" or equivalent; 1 mark for correct handling of zero and final "and eight". Deduct 1 mark if "zero tens" or "and" is omitted incorrectly.

12. Write six thousand, two hundred and fifteen in numerals. [2 marks]

Answer: 6 215

Working/Explanation:

"Six thousand" → 6 in thousands place: 6000
"Two hundred" → 2 in hundreds place: 200
"Fifteen" → 1 ten and 5 ones: 10 + 5 = 15
Combine: 6000 + 200 + 10 + 5 = 6215

Marking: 1 mark for correct digits (6,2,1,5); 1 mark for correct place value arrangement. Deduct 1 mark if written as 600020015 or 62015.

13. What is the greatest 4-digit number that can be formed using the digits 3, 0, 7, and 2? [2 marks]

Answer: 7 320

Working/Explanation: To make the greatest number, place the largest digits in the highest place values:

Thousands place: largest available digit = 7
Hundreds place: next largest = 3 (can't use 7 again)
Tens place: next largest = 2
Ones place: remaining digit = 0

Important: 0 cannot be in the thousands place (that would make a 3-digit number).

Marking: 1 mark for identifying 7 in thousands place; 1 mark for correct complete arrangement. Deduct 1 mark if answer is 732 (3 digits) or 0732.

14. What is the number shown on the place value chart? [2 marks]

Answer: 4 073

Working/Explanation: The place value chart shows:

Thousands column: 4 counters → $4 \times 1000 = 4000$
Hundreds column: 0 counters → $0 \times 100 = 0$
Tens column: 7 counters → $7 \times 10 = 70$
Ones column: 3 counters → $3 \times 1 = 3$

Total: $4000 + 0 + 70 + 3 = 4073$

Marking: 1 mark for correctly reading each column; 1 mark for correct final answer. Common error: Writing 473 (missing the thousands) or 407 (missing ones).

Expected visual features for image generation: The diagram should show 4 distinct counter tokens in Thousands, empty Hundreds, 7 tokens in Tens, 3 tokens in Ones. Clear labels above each column.

15. Find the sum of 2 345 and 4 678. [2 marks]

Answer: 7 023

Working:

  2345
+ 4678
------

Step-by-step:

Ones: $5 + 8 = 13$ → write 3, carry 1 to tens
Tens: $4 + 7 + 1$ (carried) $= 12$ → write 2, carry 1 to hundreds
Hundreds: $3 + 6 + 1$ (carried) $= 10$ → write 0, carry 1 to thousands
Thousands: $2 + 4 + 1$ (carried) $= 7$ → write 7

Result: 7023

Marking: 1 mark for correct method with carrying shown; 1 mark for correct final answer. Deduct 1 mark if answer is 6023 (forgotten carry) or 7033 (addition error).

16. Subtract 1 589 from 4 000. [2 marks]

Answer: 2 411

Working:

  4000
- 1589
------

Step-by-step (with regrouping):

Ones: $0 - 9$ $0 - 9$ → need to regroup. Thousands→Hundreds→Tens→Ones chain:
- 4000 = 3 thousands + 10 hundreds
- = 3 thousands + 9 hundreds + 10 tens
- = 3 thousands + 9 hundreds + 9 tens + 10 ones
Now subtract: $10 - 9 = 1$ (ones)
Tens: $9 - 8 = 1$
Hundreds: $9 - 5 = 4$
Thousands: $3 - 1 = 2$

Result: 2411

Alternative check: $2411 + 1589 = 4000$ ✓

Marking: 1 mark for showing correct regrouping method; 1 mark for correct answer. Common error: 2589 (subtracting smaller from larger digit-by-digit without regrouping).

Section C: Word Problems (18 marks)

17. Library books problem [3 marks]

(a) How many books altogether? [2 marks]

Answer: 6 121 books

Working:

  3245 (fiction)
+ 2876 (non-fiction)
------

Ones: $5 + 6 = 11$ → 1, carry 1
Tens: $4 + 7 + 1 = 12$ → 2, carry 1
Hundreds: $2 + 8 + 1 = 11$ → 1, carry 1
Thousands: $3 + 2 + 1 = 6$

Total: 6121

(b) How many more fiction than non-fiction? [1 mark]

Answer: 369 more fiction books

Working: $3245 - 2876 = 369$

Marking breakdown:

(a) 2 marks: 1 mark for correct addition method; 1 mark for correct total 6121
(b) 1 mark: correct subtraction 3245 − 2876 = 369
Common error in (b): Subtracting in wrong order (2876 − 3245 = negative, or giving 369 without specifying "more fiction")

18. Singapore Zoo visitors bar graph [3 marks]

(a) In which month were there the most visitors? [1 mark]

Answer: March

Working: Compare values from bar graph: Jan 4500, Feb 3800, Mar 5200, Apr 4100. The tallest bar/highest value is March with 5200 visitors.

(b) Visitors in February and March altogether? [2 marks]

Answer: 9 000 visitors

Working: $3800 + 5200 = 9000$

3800 + 5200: 38 hundreds + 52 hundreds = 90 hundreds = 9000

Marking breakdown:

(a) 1 mark: correct identification of March
(b) 2 marks: 1 mark for correct values extracted (3800 and 5200); 1 mark for correct sum 9000
Common error: Using wrong months or arithmetic mistake (e.g., 8000 instead of 9000)

Expected visual features for image generation: Horizontal or vertical bars with clear height difference; March bar clearly tallest; values labeled or readable from scale; months labeled in order Jan-Apr.

19. Mrs. Lim's stickers [6 marks]

(a) Stickers left after giving to Class 3A and 3B [2 marks]

Answer: 1 875 stickers

Working:

Given away: $1250 + 1875 = 3125$
Remaining: $5000 - 3125 = 1875$

  1250
+ 1875
------
  3125

  5000
- 3125
------
  1875

(b) Stickers per Class 3C pupil [2 marks]

Answer: 375 stickers

Working: $1875 \div 5 = 375$

Method: $1800 \div 5 = 360$ ; $75 \div 5 = 15$ ; $360 + 15 = 375$

(c) Shortage for 25 Class 3D pupils [2 marks]

Answer: 7 500 stickers

Working:

Each pupil gets same as 3C pupils: 375 stickers
Needed for 25 pupils: $375 \times 25$
$375 \times 25$ : $375 \times 20 = 7500$ ; $375 \times 5 = 1875$ ; total = 9375
Or: $375 \times 25 = 375 \times 100 \div 4 = 37500 \div 4 = 9375$
Stickers available: 1875
Shortage: $9375 - 1875 = 7500$

Alternative interpretation: If each gets the original "same number" meaning equal share of original 5000: $5000 \div 25 = 200$ each, no shortage needed. But context suggests (c) refers to same 375 as (b).

Clarification: If question means "same number as each 3C pupil got (375)":

Need: $375 \times 25 = 9375$
Have: 1875
Short by: $9375 - 1875 = 7500$

Marking breakdown:

(a) 2 marks: 1 mark for finding total given away (3125); 1 mark for correct subtraction (1875)
(b) 2 marks: 1 mark for division method; 1 mark for 375
(c) 2 marks: 1 mark for calculating total needed ( $375 \times 25 = 9375$ or equivalent); 1 mark for finding shortage 7500

Common mistakes: Forgetting leftover stickers from (a) carries to (b); confusing "remaining" from original vs. after giving away.

20. School bookshop prices [6 marks]

(a) Cost of notebook and pencil case [2 marks]

Answer: $8.15

Working: $\$ 2.35 + $5.80 = $8.15$

Dollars: $2 + 5 = 7$
Cents: $35 + 80 = 115$ cents = $1.15
Total: $7 + 1.15 = 8.15$

(b) Money left after school bag and water bottle [2 marks]

Answer: $6.50

Working:

Cost: $\$ 35.00 + $8.50 = $43.50$
Left: $\$ 50.00 - $43.50 = $6.50$

(c) Is $20 enough for 3 notebooks? [2 marks]

Answer: **Yes, it is enough. She will have $12.95 left** (or "Yes,$ 20 > $7.05")

Working:

Cost of 3 notebooks: $\$ 2.35 \times 3 = $7.05$
Compare: $\$ 7.05 < $20.00$
Yes, enough. Money left: $\$ 20.00 - $7.05 = $12.95$

Or simply: $2.35 \times 3 = 7.05$ , and $7.05 < 20$ , so yes.

Marking breakdown:

(a) 2 marks: 1 mark for correct addition method with decimals; 1 mark for $8.15
(b) 2 marks: 1 mark for total cost $43.50; 1 mark for correct subtraction$ 6.50
(c) 2 marks: 1 mark for calculating $7.05 (3 notebooks); 1 mark for explicit comparison and conclusion "Yes"

Common mistakes: Decimal point errors ( $2.35 +$ 5.80 = $7.115); forgetting to compare in (c) just calculating; saying "No" when it's actually yes.

Expected visual features for image generation: Clean table with 2 columns; prices in dollars with 2 decimal places; clear item names; title at top.
