How does this quiz work?

Read each question, choose one answer among A, B, C and D, then check it: a short explanation appears after every answer. Your score out of 10 is shown at the end, and you can restart the quiz as often as you like.

What should you review before the quiz?

Reread the key facts of the lesson and the worked example. If a question is hard, go back to the matching part of the lesson, then try the quiz again. Write your work on scrap paper: most mistakes come from skipping a step, not from the idea itself.

Remember:

A bar model shows the numbers in a story as bars, with a ? for the unknown.
Joining and putting together usually mean add; taking away, taking apart and comparing usually mean subtract.
The unknown can be the total, the change, or the start.
A two-step problem needs two equations, and the first answer is used in the second step.
Check by using the opposite operation and by rereading the story.
