Primary 4 Mathematics Quiz - Four Operations - Answer Key
Total Marks: 40
Section A: Multiple-Choice Questions (10 questions × 2 marks = 20 marks)
-
Answer: B) 2760
- Working: 8 × 345 = 8 × 300 + 8 × 40 + 8 × 5 = 2400 + 320 + 40 = 2760
- Explanation: We multiply the ones (8 × 5 = 40), the tens (8 × 40 = 320), and the hundreds (8 × 300 = 2400), then add them together.
- Common Mistake: Forgetting to carry over when multiplying. For example, 8 × 5 = 40, write 0 and carry 4 to the tens place.
-
Answer: A) 810 R 4
- Working: 5674 ÷ 7 = 810 remainder 4. 7 × 810 = 5670. 5674 - 5670 = 4.
- Explanation: We divide 5674 by 7. 7 goes into 56 (the first two digits) 8 times (8 × 7 = 56). Then we bring down the 7. 7 goes into 7 once (1 × 7 = 7). Then we bring down the 4. 7 does not go into 4, so we have a remainder of 4. The quotient is 810 with a remainder of 4.
- Common Mistake: Forgetting to bring down the next digit correctly.
-
Answer: B) Multiply 6 and 3 first, then add 15
- Explanation: According to the order of operations (BODMAS/PEMDAS), multiplication is done before addition. So, we calculate 6 × 3 = 18 first, then add 15 to get 33.
- Common Mistake: Adding 15 and 6 first because they appear first in the expression. This would give 21 × 3 = 63, which is incorrect.
-
Answer: A) 10,050
- Working: 402 × 25 = 402 × (20 + 5) = (402 × 20) + (402 × 5) = 8040 + 2010 = 10,050
- Explanation: We can break 25 into 20 and 5. Multiply 402 by 20 (8040) and by 5 (2010), then add the results.
- Common Mistake: Misplacing digits when multiplying by the tens digit (20). Remember to put a 0 in the ones place when multiplying by 20.
-
Answer: B) 70
- Working: 840 ÷ 12 = 70
- Explanation: We need to find how many groups of 12 are in 840. This is a division problem. 12 × 70 = 840.
- Common Mistake: Using multiplication instead of division.
-
Answer: A) 4433
- Working: 9000 - 4567 = 4433
- Explanation: We subtract 4567 from 9000. We can do this by regrouping: 9000 = 8999 + 1. 8999 - 4567 = 4432. Then add the 1 back: 4432 + 1 = 4433.
- Common Mistake: Forgetting to regroup when subtracting across zeros.
-
Answer: A) 5535
- Working: 123 × 45 = 123 × (40 + 5) = (123 × 40) + (123 × 5) = 4920 + 615 = 5535
- Explanation: Break 45 into 40 and 5. Multiply 123 by 40 (4920) and by 5 (615), then add.
- Common Mistake: Misaligning the numbers when multiplying by the tens digit (40). Remember to put a 0 in the ones place.
-
Answer: B) 60
- Working: 7 × 8 + 4 = 56 + 4 = 60
- Explanation: According to the order of operations, multiplication is done before addition. So, 7 × 8 = 56 first, then add 4 to get 60.
- Common Mistake: Adding 8 and 4 first to get 12, then multiplying by 7 to get 84.
-
Answer: A) 1470
- Working: 245 × 6 = 1470
- Explanation: Multiply 245 by 6. 6 × 5 = 30 (write 0, carry 3). 6 × 4 = 24 + 3 = 27 (write 7, carry 2). 6 × 2 = 12 + 2 = 14 (write 14). The answer is 1470.
- Common Mistake: Forgetting to add the carried-over numbers.
-
Answer: B) 1427
- Working: 8562 ÷ 6 = 1427
- Explanation: Divide 8562 by 6. 6 goes into 8 once (1 × 6 = 6), remainder 2. Bring down 5 to make 25. 6 goes into 25 four times (4 × 6 = 24), remainder 1. Bring down 6 to make 16. 6 goes into 16 twice (2 × 6 = 12), remainder 4. Bring down 2 to make 42. 6 goes into 42 seven times (7 × 6 = 42), remainder 0. The quotient is 1427.
- Common Mistake: Making an error in the multiplication or subtraction steps during long division.
