Which of the following is an even number?

Not quite. The correct answer is 28, which is even because it's divisible by 2. Even numbers are helpful when dividing objects equally or solving problems with patterns.

2 / 7

If a clock shows 3:45, how many minutes past 3 o'clock is it?

That’s not quite right. 3:45 means 45 minutes after 3 o’clock. Remember, each number on the clock represents 5 minutes, so counting 9 steps from 12 gets you to 45 minutes.

Correct! 3:45 means it is 45 minutes past 3 o’clock. Each hour on the clock is 60 minutes, so this shows that the minute hand is three-quarters of the way around the clock. Understanding time is important for daily planning.

90 degrees

180 degrees

360 degrees

Nice job! The sum of all the interior angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees. This rule applies to all types of triangles — whether they are right, isosceles, or equilateral. It’s a basic geometry fact used in many constructions and proofs.

4 / 7

Round 5,648 to the nearest hundred.

5,600

5,700

5,680

5,650

That's incorrect. To round 5,648 to the nearest hundred, look at the tens digit (4). Since it's 5 or more, we round the hundreds digit up, making it 5,700. Rounding is a useful skill for estimation and budgeting.

Great! 5,648 rounds to 5,700 when rounding to the nearest hundred. We look at the tens digit (4), and since it is 5 or more, we round up. Rounding helps to estimate values in real-world math problems.

5 / 7

What is the perimeter of a rectangle with length 6 cm and width 4 cm?

20 cm

18 cm

24 cm

16 cm

That’s incorrect. The perimeter is 20 cm, calculated by adding all sides or using the formula 2 × (6 + 4). Understanding perimeter helps you calculate the distance around shapes in real life.

Correct! The perimeter of a rectangle is found by adding all the sides: 6 + 4 + 6 + 4 = 20 cm. Another way is to use the formula: 2 × (length + width). Perimeter is useful for measuring boundaries like fences or frames.

6 / 7

What is the next number in this pattern: 3, 6, 9, 12, ___?

Not quite. The correct answer is 15 because the pattern goes up by 3 each time. Looking at the differences between numbers helps you spot the rule behind the pattern.

Correct! The pattern increases by 3 each time: 3, 6, 9, 12, and then 15. Recognizing number patterns helps you predict and understand sequences in real-life situations.

7 / 7

What is the place value of 5 in the number 4,582?

Tens

Hundreds

Thousands

Units

That’s incorrect. The digit 5 in 4,582 is in the hundreds place, which means it stands for 500. Place value is important because each digit in a number has a different meaning based on where it is.

Good job! In 4,582, the 5 is in the hundreds place. That means it represents 500, not just the digit 5. Understanding place value helps you know the actual worth of each digit in a number.

Nomino ya wingi

Nomino ya dhahania

Nomino ya pekee

Vizuri sana! Sentensi "Juma anakula chakula chake sasa" inaonyesha matendo yanayoendelea kwa sasa. Kitenzi "anakula" kinaonyesha wakati wa sasa unaoendelea.
