    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:

    • The equal sign = means both sides have the same value.
    • Find the value of each side to decide if an equation is true or false.
    • The missing number can be in any spot: 8 + ? = 13, ? + 5 = 11, or 14 – ? = 9.
    • To add three numbers, add two that make 10 first.
