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:
- Subtraction means taking away, like \(8-3=5\). The answer is the difference.
- Counting back: start at the first number and count down the second number.
- Think addition: \(13-8\) asks \(8+\text{ ? }=13\). The missing part is 5.
- To compare, match the groups. The extra objects show how many more or fewer.
- A fact family uses three numbers in four sentences, like 6, 9, and 15.
