Sample questions

Question 1 — Easy

Kofi collects stickers. He has 4 full pages, and each page holds 2 rows of stickers with 2 stickers in each row. How many stickers does Kofi have altogether?

A) 8
B) 20
C) 12
D) 16

Answer: Each page has 2 rows of 2 stickers, which is 2 × 2 = 4 stickers per page. With 4 pages, the total is 4 × 4 = 16 stickers. Option A only calculates stickers on one page (2 × 2 = 4) and then doubles it incorrectly to 8. Option C adds 4 + 4 + 4 = 12, skipping one page. Option D calculates 4 × 5 = 20, using the wrong number of stickers per page.

Question 2 — Medium

Priya is feeding the kangaroos at a wildlife park. She gives 2 pieces of fruit to each kangaroo. She feeds 8 kangaroos altogether. How many pieces of fruit does she use?

A) 10
B) 14
C) 18
D) 16

Answer: 8 kangaroos with 2 pieces of fruit each means 8 times 2, which equals 16. Option A is wrong because 10 comes from adding 8 and 2 instead of multiplying. Option B is wrong because 14 is 7 times 2, one kangaroo short. Option C is wrong because 18 is 9 times 2, one kangaroo too many.

Question 3 — Hard

There are 7 rows of chairs set up for the school assembly. Each row has 2 chairs. How many chairs are there altogether?

A) 9
B) 12
C) 14
D) 16

Answer: 7 rows of 2 chairs means 7 × 2 = 14 chairs altogether. Option A adds 7 + 2 instead of multiplying. Option B confuses 7 × 2 with 6 × 2. Option D confuses 7 × 2 with 8 × 2.
