Question 1
One library shelf has 38 picture books. Another shelf has 45 picture books. How many picture books are on the two shelves?
Correct answer: C
38 + 45: the ones make 8 + 5 = 13, so regroup 1 ten. 3 + 4 + 1 = 8 tens, giving 83. The answer 73 forgets the regrouped ten.
-
Question 2
Maya had 72 beads. She used 28 beads to make a bracelet. How many beads does Maya have left?
Correct answer: A
72 − 28 = 44. You cannot take 8 ones from 2 ones, so trade a ten. The answer 56 comes from subtracting 2 from 8 instead.

Question 3
There are 24 boys and 19 girls in the gym. Then 15 children leave. How many children are in the gym now?
Correct answer: D
First add: 24 + 19 = 43 children. Then subtract the ones who left: 43 − 15 = 28. Stopping at 43 skips the second step.

Question 4
Ray had some baseball cards. He gave 17 cards to his brother. Now Ray has 36 cards. How many cards did Ray have at first?
Correct answer: B
Ray had more cards before he gave some away, so add back: 36 + 17 = 53. The answer 19 subtracts, which makes the start smaller than what is left.
-
Question 5
The red team scored 61 points. The blue team scored 47 points. How many more points did the red team score?
Correct answer: D
Find the difference: 61 − 47 = 14. Check: 47 + 14 = 61.
-
Question 6
What is 100 − 37?
Correct answer: D
Count up from 37: 3 more makes 40, and 60 more makes 100. 3 + 60 = 63.
-
Question 7
Jada has 29 stamps. Owen has 14 more stamps than Jada. How many stamps does Owen have?
Correct answer: A
Owen has 14 more, so add: 29 + 14 = 43. The answer 15 subtracts, which would mean Owen has fewer.
-
Question 8
Which number makes this true?
45 + ___ = 90
Correct answer: B
45 + 45 = 90, so the missing number is 45. The answer 135 adds 45 and 90, but 90 is already the total.
-
Question 9
A farmer picked 26 apples in the morning and 34 apples in the afternoon. He sold 45 apples. How many apples does he have left?
Correct answer: C
First add the apples picked: 26 + 34 = 60. Then subtract the apples sold: 60 − 45 = 15.
-
Question 10
Lily read 52 pages. Mark read 18 fewer pages than Lily. Which equation can you use to find how many pages Mark read?
Correct answer: C
Mark read fewer pages, so take 18 away from 52. The equation 18 + ? = 52 finds the difference, but the difference (18) is already given.
Questions you leave blank are not counted as wrong.
