Answer key

  1. 150 — The numbers go up by 25 each time, so the answer is 150.
  2. C (Odd) — $57 + 92 = 149$, which is odd.
  3. A (60) — 59 is closest to 60.
  4. A (52) — Add two numbers first: $12 + 38 = 50$. Then $50 + 2 = 52$.
  5. A (119) — There are not enough ones, so trade 1 ten for 10 ones. Then $167 - 48 = 119$. Check: $119 + 48 = 167$.
  6. C (58) — Add 10 to get 59, then take away 1: 58.
  7. C ($25 + \square = 69$) — Look for what is unknown in the story, and whether things are joined or taken away.
  8. D (36) — Skip count by 4 9 times to get 36.
  9. B (10) — $8 \times 10 = 80$, so $80 \div 8 = 10$.
  10. B ($\dfrac{2}{4}$) — $4 - 2 = 2$ slices are left out of 4, so $\dfrac{2}{4}$ is left.
  11. D (88) — The numbers go up by 12 each time.
  12. A (4) — Add up every step, and count the steps inside a repeat once for each time it repeats: the total is 4.
  13. A ($>$) — The left side is 41 and the right side is 14, so use $>$.
  14. D ($\$170$) — Add the bills: $10 + 20 + 20 + 20 + 100 = 170$, so it is $\$170$.
  15. A ($3{:}00$) — $1{:}45$ plus 1 hour 15 minutes is $3{:}00$.
  16. C (24 cm) — 8 paper clips of 3 cm: $8 \times 3 = 24$ cm.
  17. D (A triangle) — The faces of a square-based pyramid are squares and triangles, so a triangle is possible.
  18. D (The toy store) — From D4, go 1 right and 3 down to reach E1, the toy store.
  19. 8 — The right half must be a mirror image of the left half, so it has the same number of shaded squares.
  20. B (red) — There are more red marbles than any other colour (9), so red is the most likely.
  21. D (20) — Add all the bars: $4 + 2 + 2 + 4 + 8 = 20$.
  22. A (a big red circle) — Look at what changes in the first pair and do the same thing to the second picture.
  23. C (17) — Add the stacks: $3 + 4 + 1 + 4 + 1 + 4 = 17$.
  24. A (4) — Each hole goes through 2 layers, so 2 punches make 4 holes.
  25. B (22) — Dogs: 16 legs. Birds: 6 legs. Total 22.
  26. A (11) — Down: $11 + 10 + \square = 32$, so $\square = 32 - 11 - 10 = 11$.
