03 Answers and one-line notes
| # | Answer | One-line note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 7 hundreds, that is 700. | The number reads 6 thousands, 7 hundreds, 2 tens and 5 ones, so the 7 is worth 700. |
| 2 | 7 500 | Taking 5 hundreds from 8 thousands leaves 7 500. |
| 3 | 4 000 | Whole numbers run in order: after 3 999 comes 4 000 and then 4 001. |
| 4 | 610 pupils | 1 250 − 640 = 610, so there are 610 girls. |
| 5 | 725 sweets | 2 400 − 1 675 = 725, so 725 sweets remain. |
| 6 | 5 500 | 15 hundreds is 1 500, and 4 000 + 1 500 = 5 500. |
| 7 | 9 999 numbers | Starting at 1 and ending at 9 999 gives exactly 9 999 numbers. |
| 8 | Only 5 555 | The thousands digit must be 5, so the other three digits also have to be 5. |
| 9 | 160 dollars | 3 × 780 = 2 340, and 2 500 − 2 340 = 160. |
| 10 | The smallest four-digit number is 1 000. | Only the thousands digit must be at least 1; the other digits may all be zero. |
04 What to do after marking
- After marking, redo only the wrong items and write down which step went wrong (formula, unit, or misread number).
- Repeat the same item two days later; move to the next paper only when both attempts are correct.
- Parents only need the answer and note columns; there is no need to explain every item.
