TuitionGoWhere Practice Paper - Mathematics Primary 6 PSLE (Answer Key)
Subject: Mathematics
Level: Primary 6 PSLE
Paper: SA2 (Version 2)
Total Marks: 100
SECTION A: Multiple-Choice Questions (20 marks)
1. (2) 700,000 [2]
Explanation: The digit 7 is in the hundred thousands place. Its value is 7 × 100,000 = 700,000.
2. (2) 3,850,000 [2]
Explanation: To round to the nearest ten thousand, look at the thousands digit (7). Since 7 ≥ 5, round up the ten thousands digit from 4 to 5. 3,847,256 → 3,850,000.
3. (1) 24 [2]
Explanation: Common multiples of 6 and 8 are multiples of their LCM. LCM(6,8) = 24. 24 is a multiple of both 6 and 8. 36 is not a multiple of 8. 42 is not a multiple of 8. 54 is not a multiple of 8.
4. (3) 1,200 [2]
Explanation: 48 × 25 = 48 × 100 ÷ 4 = 4,800 ÷ 4 = 1,200. Alternatively: 48 × 25 = (48 × 100) ÷ 4 = 1,200.
5. (2) 3,832 [2]
Explanation: Number = (Divisor × Quotient) + Remainder = (9 × 425) + 7 = 3,825 + 7 = 3,832.
6. (2) 72 [2]
Explanation: Other number = Product ÷ Known number = 2,520 ÷ 35 = 72. Check: 35 × 72 = 2,520.
7. (2) 5,649 [2]
Explanation: Numbers rounding to 5,600 (nearest hundred) are from 5,550 to 5,649. The greatest is 5,649.
8. (2) 120 [2]
Explanation: 7,200 ÷ 60 = 720 ÷ 6 = 120. (Cancel one zero from both numbers)
9. (1) 10 [2]
Explanation: Factors of 10: 1, 2, 5, 10 (4 factors). Factors of 12: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12 (6 factors). Factors of 14: 1, 2, 7, 14 (4 factors) — wait, 14 also has 4 factors. Let me recheck: 10 has factors 1,2,5,10 (4 factors). 14 has factors 1,2,7,14 (4 factors). Both have 4 factors. But typically 10 is the intended answer as it's the smallest. Actually, the question asks "Which of the following numbers has exactly 4 factors?" Both 10 and 14 have exactly 4 factors. This is a flawed question. In PSLE context, 10 is usually the expected answer as the product of two distinct primes (2×5). 14 = 2×7 also works. I'll note this but mark (1) as the intended answer.
Marking Note: Both 10 and 14 have exactly 4 factors. In standard PSLE questions, 10 (2×5) is the typical example of a number with exactly 4 factors (product of two distinct primes).
10. (2) 970 [2]
Explanation: Toys per day = Total toys ÷ Number of days = 4,850 ÷ 5 = 970.
SECTION B: Short-Answer Questions (25 marks)
11. Six million forty thousand three hundred five [1]
Explanation: 6,040,305 = 6,000,000 + 40,000 + 300 + 5. Write in words: "Six million forty thousand three hundred five". Note: "and" is not used in standard mathematical writing for whole numbers in Singapore.
12. 58,752 [2]
Working:
3 4 5 6

---------
2 4 1 9 2 (3456 × 7)
3 4 5 6 0 (3456 × 10)
---------
5 8 7 5 2
Alternative: 3,456 × 17 = 3,456 × (10 + 7) = 34,560 + 24,192 = 58,752.
13. 672 [2]

8,736 ÷ 13 = 672. Check: 672 × 13 = 8,736.
14. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36 [1]
Explanation: Factors of 36 come in pairs: 1×36, 2×18, 3×12, 4×9, 6×6. List in ascending order.
15. 12, 24, 36 [2]
Working: Multiples of 4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40... Multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42... Common multiples: 12, 24, 36, 48... First three: 12, 24, 36. Alternative: LCM(4,6) = 12. First three common multiples: 12×1, 12×2, 12×3 = 12, 24, 36.
16. 63 [2]
Working: Multiples of 7 between 50 and 100: 56, 63, 70, 77, 84, 91, 98. Check remainder when divided by 5: 56 ÷ 5 = 11 R1 ✗ 63 ÷ 5 = 12 R3 ✓ 70 ÷ 5 = 14 R0 ✗ 77 ÷ 5 = 15 R2 ✗ 84 ÷ 5 = 16 R4 ✗ 91 ÷ 5 = 18 R1 ✗ 98 ÷ 5 = 19 R3 ✓ Both 63 and 98 satisfy. But "a number" (singular) suggests one answer. Re-reading: "A number is between 50 and 100. It is a multiple of 7. When divided by 5, the remainder is 3." Both 63 and 98 work. This is ambiguous. Typically the smallest is expected. I'll accept 63 as the primary answer but note 98 also works.
Marking Note: Both 63 and 98 satisfy all conditions. Accept either with correct working.
17. 720,000 [2]
Working: 2,400 × 300 = 24 × 100 × 3 × 100 = (24 × 3) × 10,000 = 72 × 10,000 = 720,000. Alternative: 2,400 × 300 = 2,400 × 3 × 100 = 7,200 × 100 = 720,000.
18. 10,000,000 [1]
Explanation: 9,876,543 rounded to the nearest million: Look at the hundred thousands digit (8). Since 8 ≥ 5, round up the millions digit from 9 to 10. 9,876,543 → 10,000,000.
19. 785 [2]
Working: Let the numbers be x (larger) and y (smaller). x + y = 1,250 x - y = 320 Adding: 2x = 1,570 → x = 785 Subtracting: 2y = 930 → y = 465 Check: 785 + 465 = 1,250 ✓, 785 - 465 = 320 ✓ Alternative: Larger number = (Sum + Difference) ÷ 2 = (1,250 + 320) ÷ 2 = 1,570 ÷ 2 = 785.
20. 410 m [2]
Working: Perimeter of rectangle = 2 × (Length + Breadth) = 2 × (120 + 85) = 2 × 205 = 410 m.
SECTION C: Long-Answer Questions (55 marks)
21. $3,000 [4]
Working: Method 1 (Fraction of remainder):
- Fraction spent on TV = 2/5
- Remainder after TV = 1 - 2/5 = 3/5
- Fraction spent on refrigerator = 1/3 of remainder = 1/3 × 3/5 = 1/5
- Total fraction spent = 2/5 + 1/5 = 3/5
- Fraction left = 1 - 3/5 = 2/5
- 2/5 of money = $1,200
- 1/5 of money = 600
- Total money = 5 × 3,000
Method 2 (Model drawing): [5 units total] [2 units: TV] [1 unit: Fridge] [2 units: Left = 1,200 1 unit = 3,000
Check: TV = 2/5 × 3,000 = 1,800. Fridge = 1/3 × 1,800 = 1,200 ✓
22. 360 [4]
Working:
- Red = 3/8, Blue = 1/4 = 2/8
- Difference in fraction = 3/8 - 2/8 = 1/8
- 1/8 of total = 45 marbles
- Total = 45 × 8 = 360 marbles
Check: Red = 3/8 × 360 = 135. Blue = 1/4 × 360 = 90. Difference = 135 - 90 = 45 ✓. Green = 360 - 135 - 90 = 135.
23. 57,750 [4]
Working:
- January: 12,450 toys
- February: 12,450 - 1,350 = 11,100 toys
- March: 2 × 11,100 = 22,200 toys
- Total: 12,450 + 11,100 + 22,200 = 45,750 toys
Wait, let me recalculate: 12,450 + 11,100 = 23,550 23,550 + 22,200 = 45,750
Answer: 45,750 (not 57,750 as initially written above)
Correction: The correct total is 45,750.
24. $2,880 [4]
Working:
- Total apples = 15 boxes × 24 apples/box = 360 apples
- Number of bags = 360 ÷ 6 = 60 bags
- Total money = 60 bags × 240
Wait, let me recalculate: 15 × 24 = 360 ✓ 360 ÷ 6 = 60 ✓ 60 × 4 = 240 ✓
**Answer: 2,880)
Correction: The correct answer is $240.
25. 96 [4]
Working:
- Ratio Boys : Girls = 3 : 5
- Difference in units = 5 - 3 = 2 units
- 2 units = 24 pupils
- 1 unit = 12 pupils
- Total units = 3 + 5 = 8 units
- Total pupils = 8 × 12 = 96
Check: Boys = 3 × 12 = 36. Girls = 5 × 12 = 60. Difference = 60 - 36 = 24 ✓. Total = 96 ✓.
26. Quotient = 94, Remainder = 2 [3]
Working:
- The number = (6 × 125) + 4 = 750 + 4 = 754
- 754 ÷ 8 = 94 remainder 2 (since 8 × 94 = 752, 754 - 752 = 2)
Check: 94 × 8 + 2 = 752 + 2 = 754 ✓.
27. 420 [5]
Working: Method 1 (Algebra/Units):
- Let Peter's initial stamps = 7 units
- Peter gave 2/7 × 7 units = 2 units to John
- Peter left = 5 units
- John received 2 units, so John's final = John's initial + 2 units
- After transfer, Peter = John: 5 units = John's initial + 2 units
- John's initial = 3 units = 180 stamps
- 1 unit = 60 stamps
- Peter's initial = 7 units = 7 × 60 = 420 stamps
Method 2 (Working backwards):
- Final: Peter = John
- Before transfer: Peter had 7 parts, gave 2 parts to John, left with 5 parts
- John received 2 parts, so John's initial = 5 parts - 2 parts = 3 parts
- 3 parts = 180 → 1 part = 60
- Peter's initial = 7 parts = 420
Check: Peter: 420, gave 2/7×420=120 to John, left 300. John: 180+120=300. Equal ✓.
28. 24 litres [4]
Working:
- Tank volume = 60 × 40 × 30 = 72,000 cm³
- Water volume (height 20 cm) = 60 × 40 × 20 = 48,000 cm³
- Volume needed = 72,000 - 48,000 = 24,000 cm³
- 1 litre = 1,000 cm³
- Litres needed = 24,000 ÷ 1,000 = 24 litres
Alternative: Height needed = 30 - 20 = 10 cm. Volume = 60 × 40 × 10 = 24,000 cm³ = 24 litres.
29. 60 [3]
Working:
- Sum of 5 numbers = 5 × 48 = 240
- Sum of remaining 4 numbers = 4 × 45 = 180
- Removed number = 240 - 180 = 60
Check: If removed number is 60, remaining sum = 180, average = 180/4 = 45 ✓.
30. 600 [5]
Working: Method 1 (Fraction of remainder):
- Sold on Monday = 3/5
- Remainder after Monday = 2/5
- Sold on Tuesday = 1/4 of remainder = 1/4 × 2/5 = 1/10
- Total sold = 3/5 + 1/10 = 6/10 + 1/10 = 7/10
- Left = 1 - 7/10 = 3/10
- 3/10 of pens = 180
- 1/10 of pens = 60
- Total pens = 10 × 60 = 600
Method 2 (Model): [10 units total] [6 units: Mon] [1 unit: Tue] [3 units: Left = 180] 3 units = 180 1 unit = 60 10 units = 600
Check: Mon: 3/5×600=360 sold, left 240. Tue: 1/4×240=60 sold, left 180 ✓.
