1In the number 458, what is the value of the digit 5?
A.5
B.50
C.500
D.58
Explanation: In the number 458, the digit 4 is in the hundreds place (400), the digit 5 is in the tens place (50), and the digit 8 is in the ones place (8). Therefore, the value of the digit 5 is 50.
2What is the expanded form of the number 372?
A.30 + 70 + 2
B.300 + 7 + 2
C.300 + 70 + 2
D.300 + 70 + 20
Explanation: Expanded form shows a number broken down by the place value of each digit. 372 has 3 hundreds (300), 7 tens (70), and 2 ones (2), so its expanded form is 300 + 70 + 2.
3What is 23 + 45?
A.58
B.68
C.67
D.78
Explanation: Add the ones place first: 3 + 5 = 8. Then add the tens place: 2 + 4 = 6. Combining tens and ones gives 68.
4What is 87 - 34?
A.43
B.53
C.54
D.63
Explanation: Subtract the ones place first: 7 - 4 = 3. Then subtract the tens place: 8 - 3 = 5. Combining them gives 53.
5Which of the following numbers is greater than 429?
A.419
B.425
C.428
D.451
Explanation: To compare numbers, check the hundreds digit first (all are 4). Then compare tens digits: 451 has 5 tens, which is greater than the 2 tens in 429.
6Which group of numbers is ordered from least to greatest?
A.145, 230, 312
B.312, 230, 145
C.230, 145, 312
D.145, 312, 230
Explanation: Comparing the hundreds digits: 145 has 1 hundred, 230 has 2 hundreds, and 312 has 3 hundreds. Since 145 < 230 < 312, this list is ordered from least to greatest.
7Start at 120 and skip count by 10s: 120, 130, 140, ____. What is the next number?
A.141
B.145
C.150
D.160
Explanation: Skip counting by 10s means adding 10 to the previous number. 140 + 10 = 150.
8Liam arranges partridgeberries in 3 rows with 4 berries in each row. How many berries does he have in total?
A.7

9A fisherman shares 15 cod fillets equally among 3 families. How many fillets does each family get?
A.3
B.4
C.5
