Question 1
What is 3 + 7 + 4?
Correct answer: D
3 + 7 makes 10 first, then 10 + 4 = 14. The answer 10 forgets to add the 4.
-
Question 2
Pia wants to add 6 + 5 + 4 by making a ten first. Which two numbers should she add first?
Correct answer: A
6 + 4 = 10, then 10 + 5 = 15. Adding 6 and 5 first gives 11, which does not make a ten.
-
Question 3
What is 2 + 8 + 9?
Correct answer: C
2 + 8 = 10, and 10 + 9 = 19. The answer 10 stops after the first two numbers.
-
Question 4
Which has the same sum as 5 + 9?
Correct answer: B
Adding in a different order gives the same sum: both are 14. The problem 9 − 5 subtracts, so it gives 4.

Question 5
Ava picks 4 red flowers, 3 yellow flowers and 6 white flowers. How many flowers does she pick in all?
Correct answer: C
Add all three groups: 4 + 6 = 10, then 10 + 3 = 13. The answer 7 adds only the red and yellow flowers.
-
Question 6
What is 7 + 0 + 8?
Correct answer: A
Adding 0 does not change a number, so this is 7 + 8 = 15. The answer 8 forgets the 7.
-
Question 7
Ben adds 5 + 2 + 5. He adds 5 + 5 first. What does he add next?
Correct answer: D
5 + 5 = 10, and the number still left is 2, so he adds 10 + 2 = 12. Using 10 + 5 counts one 5 twice.
-
Question 8
Which number sentence is true?
Correct answer: B
4 + 6 makes 10, and the 3 stays, so both sides are 13. The side 4 + 10 is 14, which is one too many.
-
Question 9
What is 1 + 9 + 9?
Correct answer: D
1 + 9 = 10, then 10 + 9 = 19. The answer 18 is only 9 + 9.
-
Question 10
A box has 8 pencils, 2 pens and 3 erasers. How many things are in the box?
Correct answer: A
8 + 2 = 10, and 10 + 3 = 13. The answer 10 leaves out the erasers.
