8. Question 8

   1 mark

   In the number $47$, what does the digit $4$ stand for?

   A. $47$

   B. $7$

   C. $40$

   D. $4$

   (1 mark)

   Marking scheme

   C. $40$ — in a two-digit number the first digit counts tens, so the $4$ in $47$ stands for $4$ tens, which is $40$. D gives the digit itself rather than its value.

9. Question 9

    A. $73$

    B. $37$

    C. $307$

    D. $27$

    (1 mark)

    Marking scheme

    B. $37$ — thirty-seven is $3$ tens and $7$ ones. A has the digits the wrong way round, which would read seventy-three.

11. Question 11

    1 mark

    Count in tens and fill in the blanks: $10,20,30,\_\_,\_\_$.

    A. $100$

    B. $91$

    C. $90$

    D. $99$

    (1 mark)

    Marking scheme

    D. $99$ — the largest two-digit number has a $9$ in both places; one more would carry into three digits. A already has three.

13. Question 13

    2 marks

    Count backward: 30, 29, 28, ___, ___.

    1 mark

    Which number is greater, $68$ or $86$?

    A. $86$

    B. $68$

    C. $8$

    D. They are equal

    (1 mark)

    Marking scheme

    A. $86$ — compare the tens first: $8$ tens beats $6$ tens, so $86$ is greater even though both use the same digits.

15. Question 15

    1 mark

    Which of these numbers is an even number?

    A. $24$

    B. $13$

    C. $7$
