TuitionGoWhere Practice Paper - Mathematics Primary 4 (SA2 Version 2) - Answer Key
Subject: Mathematics
Level: Primary 4
Paper: SA2 (Version 2)
Total Marks: 100
SECTION A: Multiple-Choice Questions (20 marks)
1. In the number 84,307, which digit is in the ten thousands place? [2]
Answer: (1) 8
Explanation:
The place values in a 5-digit number are: Ten thousands, Thousands, Hundreds, Tens, Ones.
84,307 = 8 ten thousands + 4 thousands + 3 hundreds + 0 tens + 7 ones.
The digit in the ten thousands place is 8.
Common mistake: Confusing "ten thousands" with "thousands" (which would be 4).
2. What does the digit 6 stand for in 52,641? [2]
Answer: (3) 600
Explanation:
52,641 = 5 ten thousands + 2 thousands + 6 hundreds + 4 tens + 1 one.
The digit 6 is in the hundreds place, so its value is 6 × 100 = 600.
Common mistake: Choosing 60 (tens place) or 6000 (thousands place).
3. Round 38,472 to the nearest thousand. [2]
Answer: (3) 39,000
Explanation:
To round to the nearest thousand, look at the hundreds digit (4 in 38,472).
Since 4 < 5, we round down. The thousands digit (8) stays the same, and all digits to the right become 0.
38,472 ≈ 39,000? Wait, let's check: 38,472 is between 38,000 and 39,000. The hundreds digit is 4, so it rounds down to 38,000.
Correction: 38,472 rounded to the nearest thousand is 38,000. The correct option should be (1) 38,000.
Marking note: If the question options are as printed, the intended answer based on standard rounding rules is 38,000. If the paper has (3) 39,000 as the only close option, there may be a typo in the question options. For this answer key, we follow mathematical rules: 38,472 → 38,000.
Wait, re-evaluating: 38,472. The thousand digit is 8. The hundred digit is 4. Since 4 < 5, round down → 38,000.
Correct Answer: (1) 38,000
4. Which of the following numbers when rounded to the nearest hundred gives 45,600? [2]
Answer: (2) 45,550
Explanation:
When rounding to the nearest hundred, we look at the tens digit.
- For a number to round to 45,600, it must be between 45,550 and 45,649 (inclusive).
- 45,549 → tens digit 4 → rounds down to 45,500 ✗
- 45,550 → tens digit 5 → rounds up to 45,600 ✓
- 45,649 → tens digit 4 → rounds down to 45,600 ✓ (but 45,550 is the smallest)
- 45,650 → tens digit 5 → rounds up to 45,700 ✗
The question asks "Which of the following", and 45,550 is a valid option that rounds to 45,600.
5. 63,000 + 4,000 + 800 + 50 + 2 = _______ [2]
Answer: (1) 67,852
Explanation:
Add by place value:
Ten thousands: 60,000
Thousands: 3,000 + 4,000 = 7,000
Hundreds: 800
Tens: 50
Ones: 2
Total = 60,000 + 7,000 + 800 + 50 + 2 = 67,852
6. Find the value of 72,500 − 28,347. [2]
Answer: (1) 44,153
Explanation:
Subtract using column method:
72,500
- 28,347
--------
44,153
Check: 44,153 + 28,347 = 72,500 ✓
7. What is the product of 346 and 28? [2]
Answer: 9,688 (All options shown as 9,688 in template; correct product is 9,688)
Explanation:
346 × 28 = 346 × (20 + 8) = (346 × 20) + (346 × 8)
346 × 20 = 6,920
346 × 8 = 2,768
6,920 + 2,768 = 9,688
Note: The MCQ options in the question paper appear identical. In a real paper, options would differ. The correct product is 9,688.
8. Divide 5,832 by 6. What is the quotient? [2]
Answer: 972 (All options shown as 972; correct quotient is 972)
Explanation:
5,832 ÷ 6
6 × 900 = 5,400, remainder 432
6 × 70 = 420, remainder 12
6 × 2 = 12, remainder 0
Quotient = 900 + 70 + 2 = 972
Check: 972 × 6 = 5,832 ✓
9. A factory produced 8,450 toys in January. It produced 3,280 more toys in February than in January. How many toys did the factory produce in February? [2]
Answer: (2) 11,730 (or (4) 11,730 - duplicate in template)
Explanation:
"More than" means addition.
February toys = January toys + 3,280
= 8,450 + 3,280
= 11,730
Common mistake: Subtracting instead of adding (giving 5,170).
10. Mrs Tan bought 6 boxes of apples. There were 24 apples in each box. She gave away 45 apples. How many apples had she left? [2]
Answer: (1) 99
Explanation:
Step 1: Total apples bought = 6 × 24 = 144
Step 2: Apples left = 144 − 45 = 99
Common mistake: Forgetting to subtract the 45 given away (choosing 144).
SECTION B: Short-Answer Questions (40 marks)
11. Write sixty-two thousand, four hundred and nine in numerals. [2]
Answer: 62,409
Explanation:
- "Sixty-two thousand" = 62,000
- "Four hundred" = 400
- "Nine" = 9
- No "tens" mentioned → 0 tens
Combine: 62,000 + 400 + 0 + 9 = 62,409
Key point: The word "and" before "nine" indicates the ones place. The missing "tens" means 0 in the tens place.
12. In 79,352, the value of the digit 9 is __________. [2]
Answer: 9,000
Explanation:
79,352 = 7 ten thousands + 9 thousands + 3 hundreds + 5 tens + 2 ones.
The digit 9 is in the thousands place.
Value = 9 × 1,000 = 9,000
Common mistake: Writing "9" (digit) or "900" (hundreds) or "thousands" (place name instead of value).
13. Round 56,789 to the nearest ten. [2]
Answer: 56,790
Explanation:
To round to the nearest ten, look at the ones digit (9).
Since 9 ≥ 5, round up. The tens digit (8) increases by 1 to 9, and the ones digit becomes 0.
56,789 ≈ 56,790
14. A number when rounded to the nearest thousand is 24,000. What is the greatest possible value of this number? [2]
Answer: 24,499
Explanation:
When rounding to the nearest thousand, numbers from 23,500 to 24,499 round to 24,000.
- 23,500 → hundreds digit 5 → rounds up to 24,000
- 24,499 → hundreds digit 4 → rounds down to 24,000
- 24,500 → hundreds digit 5 → rounds up to 25,000
The greatest number in the range is 24,499.
15. Arrange the following numbers in order, starting with the smallest. [2]
48,302 ; 48,032 ; 43,802 ; 43,082
Answer: 43,082 ; 43,802 ; 48,032 ; 48,302
Explanation:
Compare ten thousands digit: all have 4.
Compare thousands digit: 43,xxx (3) vs 48,xxx (8) → 43,xxx are smaller.
Within 43,xxx: compare hundreds: 43,082 (0) < 43,802 (8)
Within 48,xxx: compare hundreds: 48,032 (0) < 48,302 (3)
Order: 43,082, 43,802, 48,032, 48,302
16. Complete the number pattern. [2]
72,500 ; 71,500 ; 70,500 ; ________ ; 68,500
Answer: 69,500
Explanation:
The pattern decreases by 1,000 each time:
72,500 − 1,000 = 71,500
71,500 − 1,000 = 70,500
70,500 − 1,000 = 69,500
69,500 − 1,000 = 68,500 ✓
17. Find the sum of 38,456 and 25,789. [2]
Answer: 64,245
Explanation:
38,456
+ 25,789
--------
64,245
Check: 64,245 − 25,789 = 38,456 ✓
18. Subtract 19,876 from 50,000. [2]
Answer: 30,124
Explanation:
50,000
- 19,876
--------
30,124
Method: 50,000 = 49,999 + 1. Subtract 19,876 from 49,999 = 30,123, then add 1 = 30,124.
Or direct column subtraction with regrouping.
Check: 30,124 + 19,876 = 50,000 ✓
19. Multiply 428 by 37. [3]
Answer: 15,836
Working:
428 × 37 = 428 × (30 + 7)
= (428 × 30) + (428 × 7)
428 × 30 = 12,840
428 × 7 = 2,996
12,840 + 2,996 = 15,836
Alternative (column method):
428
× 37
-----
2996 (428 × 7)
12840 (428 × 30)
-----
15836
Marks: 1 mark for correct method (partial products), 1 mark for correct addition, 1 mark for final answer.
20. Divide 8,547 by 9. Write down the quotient and remainder. [3]
Quotient: 949
Remainder: 6
Working:
8,547 ÷ 9
9 × 900 = 8,100, remainder 447
9 × 40 = 360, remainder 87
9 × 9 = 81, remainder 6
Quotient = 900 + 40 + 9 = 949, Remainder = 6
Check: 949 × 9 + 6 = 8,541 + 6 = 8,547 ✓
Marks: 1 mark for correct quotient, 1 mark for correct remainder, 1 mark for working/check.

Marks: 1 mark for division setup, 1 mark for correct quotient, 1 mark for answer with unit.
23. There are 2,450 red marbles and 3,780 blue marbles in a box. If 1,250 marbles are taken out, how many marbles are left in the box? [3]
Answer: 4,980
Working:
Step 1: Total marbles at first = 2,450 + 3,780 = 6,230
Step 2: Marbles left = 6,230 − 1,250 = 4,980
Marks: 1 mark for finding total, 1 mark for subtraction, 1 mark for final answer.
24. A baker baked 5,600 cookies. He packed them into packets of 25 cookies each. How many packets did he get? [3]
Answer: 224
Working:
5,600 ÷ 25
= 560 ÷ 2.5 (divide numerator and denominator by 10)
= 5,600 ÷ 25
25 × 200 = 5,000, remainder 600
25 × 24 = 600
Total packets = 200 + 24 = 224
Check: 224 × 25 = 5,600 ✓

General Marking Notes for Teachers/Parents
-
Follow-through marks: In multi-part questions, if a student uses an incorrect answer from an earlier part correctly in a later part, award full method marks for the later part (only the accuracy mark for the earlier part is lost).
-
Units: For word problems, final answers should include units (books, pens, chocolates, packets, adults, children, eggs, kg). Deduct 1 mark per question for missing units in Section B and C (not Section A).
-
Working: In Section B and C, working must be shown. Correct answer without working may receive partial credit (typically 1/2 or 2/3 marks depending on question value).
-
Common Errors to Watch:
- Place value confusion (e.g., digit vs. value, ten thousands vs. thousands)
- Rounding direction (when to round up vs. down)
- "More than" = add, "fewer than" = subtract
