1In the number 3,482,056, what is the value of the digit 8?

A.8,000

B.80,000

C.800

D.800,000

Explanation: In 3,482,056, the places from the right are ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten-thousands, hundred-thousands, millions. The digit 8 is in the ten-thousands place, so its value is 8 × 10,000 = 80,000.

2Which digit is in the hundred-thousands place in 942,718?

A.4

B.9

C.2

D.7

Explanation: Counting from the right, the places are ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten-thousands, hundred-thousands. The hundred-thousands place is the sixth digit from the right, which is 9 (worth 900,000).

3Write 600,000 + 50,000 + 4,000 + 300 + 40 + 2 in standard form.

A.654,342

B.654,324

C.645,342

D.6,543,420

Explanation: Stack the parts by place value: 600,000 + 50,000 = 650,000; plus 4,000 = 654,000; plus 300 = 654,300; plus 40 = 654,340; plus 2 = 654,342.

4Round 473,862 to the nearest ten-thousand.

A.470,000

B.474,000

C.480,000

D.473,000

Explanation: To round to the nearest ten-thousand, look at the thousands digit (3). Because 3 is less than 5, round down, so 473,862 rounds to 470,000.

5Which symbol makes the statement 256,814 ___ 256,841 true?

A.<

B.>

C.=

D.≠

Explanation: Compare place by place: both have 2 hundred-thousands, 5 ten-thousands, 6 thousands, and 8 hundreds. The tens digit differs: 256,814 has 1 ten and 256,841 has 4 tens, so 256,814 is smaller. Use <.

6Find the sum: 24,386 + 47,519.

A.71,905

B.71,805

C.61,905

D.71,815

Explanation: Add by place: ones 6 + 9 = 15 (write 5, carry 1); tens 8 + 1 + 1 = 10 (write 0, carry 1); hundreds 3 + 5 + 1 = 9; thousands 4 + 7 = 11 (write 1, carry 1); ten-thousands 2 + 4 + 1 = 7. The sum is 71,905.

7Subtract: 50,000 - 18,647.

A.31,353

B.31,463

C.32,353

D.41,353

Explanation: Regroup from left to right: 50,000 becomes 49,999 + 1, then subtract 18,647 to get 31,352 + 1 = 31,353. Checking, 18,647 + 31,353 = 50,000, so the answer is correct.

8Compute 3,748 × 6.

A.22,488

B.22,848

C.21,488

D.22,484

Explanation: Multiply from right to left: 8 × 6 = 48 (write 8, carry 4); 4 × 6 + 4 = 28 (write 8, carry 2); 7 × 6 + 2 = 44 (write 4, carry 4); 3 × 6 + 4 = 22. The product is 22,488.

9Compute 67 × 54.

A.3,618

B.3,628

C.3,518

D.4,618

Explanation: Break it apart: 67 × 50 = 3,350 and 67 × 4 = 268. Add: 3,350 + 268 = 3,618. Checking with partial products, 60 × 54 = 3,240 and 7 × 54 = 378, and 3,240 + 378 = 3,618.

10Find 836 ÷ 4.

A.209

B.219

C.204

D.292

Explanation: Divide in parts: 800 ÷ 4 = 200 and 36 ÷ 4 = 9. Add: 200 + 9 = 209. Checking, 4 × 209 = 836, so the quotient is correct.

Nebraska NSCAS Math Grade 4: Suggested Study Strategy

1Build fluency with multi-digit multiplication and long division before tackling multi-step word problems.

2Use area models and number lines to compare fractions and find equivalent fractions with common denominators.

3Practice classifying shapes by their angles and lines, and spotting lines of symmetry in letters and polygons.

4For measurement, memorize key conversions within one system (e.g., 1 m = 100 cm, 1 ft = 12 in, 1 kg = 1,000 g).

5Read the scale on line plots and bar graphs carefully, then add or multiply the data values before computing totals.
