Answer Key — SA2 Practice Paper (Whole Numbers) Version 3

Total Marks: 40

Section A (10 marks)

1. 4 (1 mark)
   Teaching note: Place values from right: ones 7, tens 1, hundreds 2, thousands 4, ten thousands 8. The thousands digit is 4.

2. 6,000 (1 mark)
   Teaching note: Digit 6 is in the thousands place (56,309 → 6 thousands = 6,000). Common mistake: writing 600.

3. 62,048 (1 mark)
   Teaching note: Sixty-two thousand = 62,000; forty-eight = 48 → 62,048.

4. 38,000 (1 mark)
   Teaching note: 37,842 → hundreds digit is 8, next digit 4 (<5) so round up to 38,000.

5. 51,200 (1 mark)
   Teaching note: 51,209 → tens digit 0, next digit 9 (≥5) so round up hundreds to 51,200.

6. 7,845 (1 mark)
   Teaching note: Add by place value: 7,000+800=7,800; +40=7,840; +5=7,845.

7. 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18 (1 mark)
   Teaching note: Factors divide 18 exactly: 1×18, 2×9, 3×6.

8. 54 (1 mark)
   Teaching note: 54 ÷ 9 = 6, so 54 is a multiple of 9. Others not divisible by 9.

9. 3,120 (1 mark)
   Teaching note: 3,124 → tens digit 2, ones 4 (<5) → round down to 3,120.

10. 24,000 (1 mark)
    Teaching note: 4,000 × 6 = 24,000.

Section B (12 marks)

11. 72,500 and 72,000 (2 marks: 1 for each)
    Working: 72,450 → nearest hundred: tens=5 → round up → 72,500. Nearest thousand: hundreds=4 → round down → 72,000.

12. 1, 2, 4 (2 marks: 1 for method, 1 for answer)
    Working: Factors of 20: 1,2,4,5,10,20. Factors of 28: 1,2,4,7,14,28. Common: 1,2,4.

13. 17,090 (2 marks: 1 working, 1 answer)
    Working:
    3,418 × 5 = (3,000×5)+(400×5)+(10×5)+(8×5) = 15,000+2,000+50+40 = 17,090.

14. 2,109 (2 marks: 1 working, 1 answer)
    Working: 8,436 ÷ 4: 8÷4=2, 4÷4=1, 3÷4=0 rem 3 → 36÷4=9 → 2,109.

15. 288 (2 marks: 1 working, 1 answer)
    Working: 12 × 24 = 288 pencils.

16. 650 (2 marks: 1 working, 1 answer)
    Working: 5,200 ÷ 8 = 650 toys per box.

Section C (18 marks)

17. 6,200 and 6,000 (2 marks: 1 each)
    Working: 6,245 → nearest hundred: tens=4 → round down → 6,200. Nearest thousand: hundreds=2 → round down → 6,000.

18. 36 stickers (3 marks: 1 for listing multiples, 1 for identifying common, 1 for least)
    Working: Multiples of 6: 6,12,18,24,30,36… Multiples of 9: 9,18,27,36… Multiples of 12: 12,24,36… LCM = 36. She needs at least 36 stickers.

19. 4,036 pens (3 marks: 1 Jan total, 1 subtraction setup, 1 answer)
    Working: Jan = 2,345 + 3,678 = 6,023. Feb = 6,023 − 1,987 = 4,036.

20. 49,960; 50,000; 50,000 (4 marks: 1 each correct rounding, 1 for explanation)
    Working:

    • Nearest ten: ones=5 → 49,960
    • Nearest hundred: tens=5 → 50,000
    • Nearest thousand: hundreds=9 → 50,000
      Explanation: The hundred and thousand rounded values are equal (50,000) and both larger than the ten rounded value (49,960) because rounding to a larger place increases or keeps the value higher when the digits to the right are 5 or more.
