Sample questions
Question 1 — Easy
Priya collected 34 cans for the school food drive. Luca collected 28 cans. How many cans did they collect altogether?
Answer: 34 + 28 = 62, so they collected 62 cans altogether. Option A (52) comes from adding the tens but subtracting instead of adding the ones. Option C (56) results from incorrectly adding 34 + 22. Option D (60) comes from rounding both numbers before adding.
Question 2 — Medium
There were 75 spectators watching a junior AFL match. During half-time, 38 spectators left. How many spectators were remaining after half-time?
Answer: 75 − 38 = 37, so 37 spectators were remaining. Option A (47) results from subtracting only the tens digit (75 − 30 = 45) and then adding 2 instead of subtracting 8. Option B (43) comes from subtracting incorrectly without regrouping, treating 5 − 8 as 2 and getting 43. Option D (33) comes from subtracting 42 instead of 38.
Question 3 — Hard
Priya has 56 shells in her collection. She finds 27 more shells at the beach. How many shells does she have altogether?
Answer: 56 + 27 = 83, so Priya has 83 shells altogether. Option A (73) comes from adding incorrectly without carrying the tens. Option C (29) comes from subtracting instead of adding. Option D (79) comes from a place value error when carrying.
