749 153 = 50 

 

2. Add the following

 

1185360 + 4000 = 1189360

 

3. Take the following

 

1937820 - 500 = 1937320

 

4. Partition the number

 

23735 = 20000 + 3000 + 700 + 30 + 5

 

5. Complete the sequence

 

-15, ___ , -5, ____ , 5 , ____ = -15, -10, -5, 0, 5, 10

 

6. Round to the nearest 10, 100, 1000, 10000 and beyond

 

65934 to the nearest 10 = 65930

 

65934 to the nearest 100 = 65900

 

65934 to the nearest 1000 = 66000

 

65934 to the nearest 10000 = 70000

 

 

Confidently use the four operations, including long and short multiplication and division. 

 

138 x 3 = 414

 

2067 x 5 = 10335

 

2538 x 14 = 35532

 

1941 ÷ 3 = 647
