She said that I am tired.

8 / 10

Which sentence uses the correct punctuation?

What is your name

I like swimming and reading?

Where are you going?

My friend is called Sarah,

That’s not the correct punctuation. Remember, questions end with a question mark, and statements usually end with a full stop or exclamation mark.

9 / 10

The boy kicked the ball.

She baked a cake yesterday.

Well done! The sentence “The ball was kicked by the boy” is in the passive voice, where the subject receives the action. Passive voice often uses a form of "to be" plus a past participle. It is commonly used when the doer of the action is less important than the action itself.

Mathematics Quiz

1 / 10

A shopkeeper had 100 oranges. He sold 35. How many are left?

That's not right. Remember, subtraction helps us find what remains. When 35 oranges are sold from 100, 100 - 35 = 65.

Great work! To find the remaining oranges, subtract 35 from 100. 100 - 35 = 65.

2 / 10

What is the area of a square whose side is 6 cm?

36 cm²

24 cm²

12 cm²

18 cm²

That’s incorrect. The area of a square is found by multiplying one side by itself. Here, 6 × 6 = 36 cm².

Exactly! The area of a square is side × side. So, 6 cm × 6 cm = 36 cm².

3 / 10

What is the next number in the pattern: 2, 4, 8, 16, ___?

That’s not correct. Look at the pattern carefully — each number is multiplied by 2 to get the next. So after 16, it becomes 16 × 2 = 32.

Well done! The pattern multiplies each number by 2 to get the next: 2 × 2 = 4, 4 × 2 = 8, and so on. 16 × 2 = 32.

4 / 10

Which of the following is a multiple of 9?

Not quite. A multiple of 9 is a number that you can divide by 9 without a remainder. Try dividing the options by 9 to see which fits.

Correct! 72 is a multiple of 9 because 9 × 8 = 72. Multiples of a number are the results you get when you multiply that number by whole numbers.

5 / 10

What is the value of 1000 ÷ 10?

100

110

That’s incorrect. 1000 divided by 10 is 100, because 10 fits into 1000 exactly 100 times. Think of division as splitting into equal parts.

Nice work! Dividing 1000 by 10 moves the digits one place to the right, giving you 100. This is a simple division of a multiple of 10.

6 / 10

What is the product of 12 and 8?

108

112

That is not the correct product. To find the product, multiply 12 by 8. Double-check your multiplication: 12 × 8 = 96.

Excellent! The product of two numbers means the result of multiplying them. 12 × 8 = 96.

7 / 10

What is 25% of 200?

100

That’s not right. To find a percentage of a number, multiply the number by the percent (as a decimal). 25% of 200 = 0.25 × 200 = 50.

Correct! 25% of 200 means 25 out of every 100, which is one-quarter. One-quarter of 200 is 50.

8 / 10

What is the perimeter of a rectangle that is 5 cm long and 3 cm wide?

15 cm

8 cm

16 cm

18 cm

That’s not the correct perimeter. Remember, perimeter is the distance around the shape, which means you add all the sides. For a rectangle, you use 2 × (length + width).

Great! The perimeter of a rectangle is found using the formula 2 × (length + width). So, 2 × (5 + 3) = 2 × 8 = 16 cm.

9 / 10

What is 3/4 + 1/8?

7/8

5/8

3/8

That's incorrect. To add fractions, you need to make sure they have the same denominator. 3/4 becomes 6/8, and 6/8 + 1/8 equals 7/8.

Good job! 3/4 is the same as 6/8, and when you add 1/8, you get 7/8. Always convert fractions to have a common denominator before adding.

10 / 10

What is the place value of 5 in the number 35,482?

Thousands

Hundreds

Ten Thousands

Tens

Not quite. To find the place value, count the digits from right to left. In this number, 5 is the fourth digit from the right, which is the thousands place.

Well done! The digit 5 in 35,482 is in the thousands place. Place value helps us understand the value of a digit based on its position in the number.
