Common Mistakes to Avoid

  1. Place value errors in multi-digit multiplication – always align digits correctly
  2. Forgetting to bring down zeros in long division
  3. Not checking answers using inverse operations (multiplication ↔ division)
  4. Missing units in word problem answers (kg, boxes, trees, $)
  5. Misreading "perimeter" vs "area" – perimeter is distance around, area is space inside
  6. Decimal point errors when multiplying/dividing decimals

Key Concepts Tested

  • Multiplication of up to 4-digit by 2-digit numbers
  • Division of up to 4-digit by 2-digit numbers
  • Estimation and mental calculation strategies
