Answers

TuitionGoWhere Practice Paper — Answer Key

Mathematics Primary 3 | Practice Paper 1 of 5 — Whole Numbers

Section A: Multiple Choice (10 marks)

1. What is the value of the digit 6 in 4 638?

Answer: (C) 600 [2]
Working: In 4 638, the digit 6 is in the hundreds place. Value = 6 × 100 = 600.
Common mistake: Choosing (A) 6 — this is the digit itself, not its value.

2. Which is the smallest number?

Answer: (B) 3 142 [2]
Working: All numbers start with 3 (thousands). Compare hundreds: 1 < 2 < 4. So 3 142 and 3 124 both have 1 hundred. Compare tens: 2 < 4. So 3 124 is smaller than 3 142. Wait — rechecking: 3 124 vs 3 142: hundreds are both 1; tens: 2 vs 4 → 2 < 4, so 3 124 is smallest.
Corrected Answer: (D) 3 124 [2]
Common mistake: Not comparing all place values carefully.

3. Round 4 567 to the nearest hundred.

Answer: (C) 4 600 [2]
Working: Look at the tens digit: 6. Since 6 ≥ 5, round up. 4 567 → 4 600.
Common mistake: Choosing (A) 4 500 by rounding down when the tens digit is 6 or more.

4. Which number is even and the largest?

Answer: (B) 5 380 [2]
Working: Check even numbers (ones digit is 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8): Only (B) 5 380 ends in 0 (even). All others end in 1, 9, 7 (odd). So 5 380 is the only even number and therefore the largest even number.
Common mistake: Choosing the largest number overall without checking if it is even.

5. What is the missing number in the pattern? 2 300, 2 400, 2 500, _____, 2 700

Answer: (B) 2 600 [2]
Working: The pattern increases by 100 each time. 2 500 + 100 = 2 600. Check: 2 600 + 100 = 2 700 ✓
Common mistake: Choosing (A) 2 550 by adding 50 instead of 100.

Section B: Short Answer (20 marks)

6. Write 7 405 in words.

Answer: Seven thousand, four hundred and five [2]
Marking: Award 2 marks for correct words. Accept "seven thousand four hundred and five" (comma optional). Do not accept "seven thousand four hundred and five" written as "7 thousand 4 hundred 5" (must be in words).
Common mistake: Writing "seven thousand four hundred and five" as "seven thousand four hundred five" — at P3, "and" is expected after hundreds.

7. Write six thousand, two hundred and eight in numerals.

Answer: 6 208 [2]
Working: 6 thousands = 6 000; 2 hundreds = 200; 0 tens; 8 ones. So 6 000 + 200 + 8 = 6 208.
Common mistake: Writing 6 280 (swapping tens and ones) or 6000208.

8. Arrange in ascending order: 5 672, 5 276, 5 762, 5 627

Answer: 5 276, 5 627, 5 672, 5 762 [2]
Working: All start with 5 (thousands). Compare hundreds: 2 < 6 < 7. So 5 276 is smallest. For 5 627 and 5 672 (both have 6 hundreds): compare tens: 2 < 7, so 5 627 < 5 672. Largest is 5 762 (7 hundreds).
Marking: Award 2 marks for all correct. Award 1 mark if 2–3 numbers are in correct position.

9. Value of digit 3 in:

(a) 3 841: 3 000 [1]
- Working: 3 is in the thousands place. Value = 3 × 1 000 = 3 000.
(b) 5 372: 300 [1]
- Working: 3 is in the hundreds place. Value = 3 × 100 = 300.

10. Fill in the blanks.

(a) 8 000 + 200 + 40 + 6 = 8 246 [1]
- Working: 8 246 − 8 000 − 40 − 6 = 200.
(b) 9 thousands + 0 hundreds + 7 tens + 3 ones = 9 073 [1]
- Working: 9 000 + 0 + 70 + 3 = 9 073.

11. Round to the nearest ten.

(a) 1 435 → 1 440 [1]
- Working: Ones digit is 5. Since 5 ≥ 5, round up. 1 435 → 1 440.
(b) 6 789 → 6 790 [1]
- Working: Ones digit is 9. Since 9 ≥ 5, round up. 6 789 → 6 790.

12. Using digits 2, 8, 5, 1 (each used once):

(a) Largest 4-digit number: 8 521 [1]
- Working: Arrange digits in descending order: 8, 5, 2, 1 → 8 521.
(b) Smallest 4-digit number: 1 258 [1]
- Working: Arrange digits in ascending order: 1, 2, 5, 8 → 1 258.

13. Find the missing number in each pattern.

(a) 1 100, 1 300, 1 500, 1 700, 1 900 [1]
- Working: Pattern increases by 200 each time. 1 500 + 200 = 1 700.
(b) 9 000, 8 500, 8 000, 7 500, 7 000 [1]
- Working: Pattern decreases by 500 each time. 8 000 − 500 = 7 500.

14. A school library has 3 742 books. It receives 200 more.

Answer: 3 942 books [2]
Working: 3 742 + 200 = 3 942.
Marking: Award 2 marks for correct answer with working. Award 1 mark for correct answer without working, or correct working with minor arithmetic error.

15. Put >, < or = in each box.

(a) 4 506 < 4 560 [1]
- Working: Thousands and hundreds are the same (4 and 5). Compare tens: 0 < 6. So 4 506 < 4 560.
(b) 7 003 < 7 030 [1]
- Working: Thousands and hundreds are the same (7 and 0). Compare tens: 0 < 3. So 7 003 < 7 030.
(c) 2 888 = 2 888 [1]
- Working: Both numbers are identical.

Section C: Structured / Word Problems (10 marks)

16. Singapore Zoo visitors table.

Day	Visitors

(a) Most visitors: Tuesday [1]
- Working: Compare all numbers. Tuesday (4 635) has the highest hundreds digit (6) among all.
(b) Fewest visitors: Monday [1]
- Working: Monday (4 356) has the smallest hundreds digit (3). Compare with Thursday (4 365): both have 3 hundreds; compare tens: 5 < 6, so Monday (4 356) < Thursday (4 365). Monday is fewest.
(c) Fewest to most: 4 356, 4 365, 4 536, 4 635 [2]
- Working: All start with 4. Compare hundreds: 3 < 5 < 6. For the two with 3 hundreds: 4 356 (tens=5) < 4 365 (tens=6). Order: Monday (4 356), Thursday (4 365), Wednesday (4 536), Tuesday (4 635).
- Marking: Award 2 marks for all correct. Award 1 mark if 2–3 numbers are in correct position.

(c) Most to fewest: 3B (1 520), 3A (1 250), 3D (1 205), 3C (1 025) [2]
- Working: Compare hundreds: 5 > 2 > 0. For 3A and 3D (both 2 hundreds): compare tens: 5 > 0, so 3A > 3D. Order: 3B, 3A, 3D, 3C.
- Marking: Award 2 marks for all correct. Award 1 mark if 2–3 classes are in correct position.

(a) Largest population: Town C (8 746) [1]
- Working: All start with 8. Compare hundreds: 7 (Town C) is the largest. So Town C has the largest population.
(b) Smallest population: Town A (8 467) [1]
- Working: Compare hundreds: 4 (Towns A and D) is smallest. Compare tens: 6 (Town A) < 7 (Town D). So Town A (8 467) is smallest.
