Mathematics Primary 6 PSLE — Whole Numbers (Version 4 of 5)
Section A: Short Answer Questions (20 marks)
1. Write in numerals: Seven million, three hundred and five thousand, two hundred and eight
Answer: 7,305,208
Working: 7,000,000 + 305,000 + 200 + 8 = 7,305,208
Marks: 2 — Award 2 marks for the correct numeral. Award 1 mark if the student writes the correct digits but makes a place-value error (e.g., 7,350,208).
2. Value of digit 6 in 8,642,159
Answer: 600,000 (or six hundred thousand)
Working: The digit 6 is in the hundred thousands place. 6 × 100,000 = 600,000.
Marks: 2 — Award 2 marks for 600,000. Award 1 mark if the student writes "hundred thousands place" without the value, or writes 60,000 (confusing with ten thousands).
3. Round 3,847,526 to the nearest hundred thousand.
Answer: 3,800,000
Working: The hundred thousands digit is 8. The ten thousands digit is 4, which is less than 5, so we round down. 3,847,526 → 3,800,000.
Marks: 2 — Award 2 marks for 3,800,000. Award 1 mark if the student identifies the correct rounding digit but gives an incorrect result (e.g., 3,850,000 — rounding to ten thousand instead).
4. HCF of 36 and 84
Answer: 12
Working:
- Factors of 36: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36
- Factors of 84: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 14, 21, 28, 42, 84
- Common factors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
- HCF = 12
Alternative method (prime factorisation):
- 36 = 2² × 3²
- 84 = 2² × 3 × 7
- HCF = 2² × 3 = 12
Marks: 2 — Award 2 marks for the correct answer with or without working. Award 1 mark for a correct method with an arithmetic error.
5. LCM of 8 and 14
Answer: 56
Working:
- Multiples of 8: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, ...
- Multiples of 14: 14, 28, 42, 56, 70, ...
- LCM = 56
Alternative method (prime factorisation):
- 8 = 2³
- 14 = 2 × 7
- LCM = 2³ × 7 = 56
Marks: 2 — Award 2 marks for 56. Award 1 mark for correct prime factorisation with a multiplication error.
6. Express 72 as a product of prime factors in index notation.
Answer: 2³ × 3²
Working:
72 ÷ 2 = 36
36 ÷ 2 = 18
18 ÷ 2 = 9
9 ÷ 3 = 3
3 ÷ 3 = 1
So 72 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 = 2³ × 3²
Marks: 2 — Award 2 marks for 2³ × 3². Award 1 mark if the student lists the prime factors correctly but does not use index notation (e.g., 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3).
7. List all the factors of 60.
Answer: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60
Working: Systematic pairing:
- 1 × 60 = 60
- 2 × 30 = 60
- 3 × 20 = 60
- 4 × 15 = 60
- 5 × 12 = 60
- 6 × 10 = 60
Marks: 2 — Award 2 marks for all 12 factors listed in order. Award 1 mark if the student lists at least 8 correct factors but misses some or does not list in order.
8. Smallest positive number divisible by both 4 and 6.
Answer: 12
Working: This is the LCM of 4 and 6.
- Multiples of 4: 4, 8, 12, 16, ...
- Multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, ...
- LCM = 12
Marks: 2 — Award 2 marks for 12. Award 1 mark for a correct listing method with a minor error.
9. Arrange in ascending order: 5,203,814 | 5,023,841 | 5,230,148 | 5,032,418
Answer: 5,023,841; 5,032,418; 5,203,814; 5,230,148
Working: All numbers are 7-digit numbers starting with 5. Compare the hundred thousands digit:
- 5,023,841 → hundred thousands digit = 0 (ten thousands = 2)
- 5,032,418 → hundred thousands digit = 0 (ten thousands = 3)
- 5,203,814 → hundred thousands digit = 2
- 5,230,148 → hundred thousands digit = 2
Between 5,203,814 and 5,230,148: compare ten thousands digit: 0 < 3, so 5,203,814 < 5,230,148.
Marks: 2 — Award 2 marks for the correct order. Award 1 mark if the student gets 3 out of 4 in the correct position.
10. Missing number: 4 × (7 + ▢) = 4 × 7 + 4 × 9
Answer: 9
Working: Using the distributive property: 4 × (7 + ▢) = 4 × 7 + 4 × ▢. Comparing with the right side: 4 × ▢ = 4 × 9, so ▢ = 9.
Marks: 2 — Award 2 marks for 9. Award 1 mark if the student shows understanding of the distributive property but makes an error.
Section B: Structured Questions (12 marks)
