Sample SK SSA Math 5 Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the SK SSA Math 5 exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1What is the value of the digit 6 in the number 3 642 815?
A.6 000
B.60 000
C.600 000
D.6
Explanation: In 3 642 815, the digit 6 is in the hundred-thousands place. Multiplying 6 by 100 000 gives 600 000. Reading the places from the left confirms millions, then hundred thousands.
2Which number shows five hundred eight thousand sixty-three in standard form?
A.580 063
B.508 063
C.508 630
D.580 630
Explanation: Five hundred eight thousand is 508 000, and sixty-three is 063 in the last three places. Together they make 508 063. A zero holds the tens-of-thousands place because the number is eight thousand, not eighty thousand.
3Which statement about 274 509 and 247 950 is true?
A.274 509 < 247 950
B.274 509 = 247 950
C.274 509 > 247 950
D.The numbers cannot be compared
Explanation: Compare place by place from the left. Both numbers have 2 in the hundred-thousands place. In the ten-thousands place, 7 is greater than 4, so 274 509 is greater than 247 950.
4What is 36 × 25?
A.800
B.900
C.750
D.850
Explanation: One useful strategy is 36 × 25 = 36 × (100 ÷ 4) = (36 × 100) ÷ 4 = 3 600 ÷ 4 = 900. You can also compute 36 × 20 = 720 and 36 × 5 = 180, then add: 720 + 180 = 900.
5A Saskatoon class packs 48 boxes with 125 pencils in each box. How many pencils are packed in all?
A.5 000
B.6 000
C.5 750
D.6 250
Explanation: Multiply 48 × 125. One way: 48 × 100 = 4 800, 48 × 25 = 1 200, and 4 800 + 1 200 = 6 000. So the class packs 6 000 pencils.
6What is 738 ÷ 6?
A.113
B.123
C.128
D.133
Explanation: Divide step by step: 6 goes into 7 once (remainder 1), bring down 3 to make 13, 6 goes into 13 twice (remainder 1), bring down 8 to make 18, and 6 goes into 18 exactly 3 times. The quotient is 123. Check: 123 × 6 = 738.
7What is the quotient and remainder when 457 is divided by 5?
A.90 R 7
B.91 R 2
C.92 R 1
D.91 R 0
Explanation: 5 × 91 = 455, and 457 − 455 = 2, so 457 ÷ 5 = 91 remainder 2. The remainder must be less than the divisor 5, which 2 is.
8A farmer bags 836 kg of seed into bags that each hold 7 kg. How many full bags can be filled, and how many kilograms are left over?
A.119 full bags, 3 kg left
B.118 full bags, 5 kg left
C.120 full bags, 0 kg left
D.119 full bags, 5 kg left
Explanation: Divide 836 ÷ 7. 7 × 119 = 833, and 836 − 833 = 3. So there are 119 full bags with 3 kg left over.
9Which estimate is most reasonable for 487 × 6?
A.About 2 400
B.About 3 000
C.About 3 600
D.About 4 800
Explanation: Round 487 to 500. Then 500 × 6 = 3 000, which is a reasonable estimate. The exact product 2 922 is close to 3 000.
10Using front-end estimation, which is the best estimate of 3 812 + 2 467?
A.5 000
B.6 000
C.7 000
D.5 500
Explanation: Front-end estimation uses the leading digits: 3 000 + 2 000 = 5 000, then adjusting with the hundreds (800 + 400 ≈ 1 000) gives about 6 000. Rounding each addend to the nearest thousand (4 000 + 2 000) also supports 6 000.

About the SK SSA Math 5 Exam

The Saskatchewan Student Assessment (SSA) Grade 5 Mathematics assessment is a curriculum-based provincial assessment administered by the Saskatchewan Ministry of Education. It measures select Mathematics 5 outcomes in Number, Patterns and Relations, Shape and Space, and Statistics and Probability. Assessments are delivered online, designed for about 120 minutes across two sittings in a late spring window, and mathematics forms are provided in both official languages. There is no student fee. Results use four-point provincial achievement standards and are not used by the ministry to rank schools or teachers. Field testing ran in 2025–26 with programme implementation and returned results planned for 2026–27. This OpenExamPrep bank is an English-language multiple-choice study adaptation — not an official secure form or French translation.

2Build fluency with multi-digit multiplication and 3-digit ÷ 1-digit division, interpreting remainders in context.
3Compare fractions with like and unlike denominators using equivalent fractions and number-line models.
4Relate decimals to thousandths to fractions and practise adding and subtracting decimals carefully by place value.
5Connect perimeter and area of rectangles, and estimate length, volume (cm³/m³), and capacity (mL/L) with metric referents.
6Sort quadrilaterals by attributes and describe parallel, perpendicular, and intersecting lines.
7Read double bar graphs carefully and distinguish first-hand from second-hand data before drawing conclusions.
