All questions

Question 1

Lisa counts: 85,86,87,88,89,9085, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90. Now she wants to continue counting but switch to counting by tens. If she continues from 9090 and counts by tens until she reaches 100100, how many more numbers will she say?

  1. She will say 11 more number (correct answer)
  2. She will say 22 more numbers
  3. She will say 1010 more numbers
  4. She will say 33 more numbers
Explanation: Starting from 90 and counting by tens to reach 100, Lisa will say: 100. That's only 1 more number. Choice B might come from thinking 90→100 is 2 jumps. Choice C confuses the size of the jump (10) with the count of numbers. Choice D represents some other miscounting error.

Question 2

Maya is counting by tens starting from 1010. She says: "1010, 2020, 3030..." If she continues this pattern and says exactly 77 more numbers after 3030, what will be the last number she says?

  1. 7070
  2. 100100 (correct answer)
  3. 9090
  4. 3737
Explanation: After saying 30, Maya will say 7 more numbers counting by tens: 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100. The last number is 100. Choice A (70) represents counting only 4 more numbers. Choice C (90) represents counting only 6 more numbers. Choice D (37) shows confusion between counting by tens versus counting by ones.

Question 3

Look at the hundred chart shown. If you start at 7373 and count by ones in the direction of increasing numbers, which number will you land on after counting 66 more numbers?

  1. You will land on 7979 (correct answer)
  2. You will land on 7878
  3. You will land on 8080
  4. You will land on 7676
Explanation: Starting at 73 and counting 6 more numbers by ones: 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79. You land on 79. Choice B represents counting only 5 more numbers. Choice C represents counting 7 more numbers. Choice D represents counting only 3 more numbers.

Question 4

Use the number line to answer the question. Jake starts at 00 and makes 33 jumps of 1010, then makes 44 jumps of 11. Where does Jake land?

  1. Jake lands at 3434 (correct answer)
  2. Jake lands at 4343
  3. Jake lands at 3737
  4. Jake lands at 3030
Explanation: Starting at 0, Jake makes 3 jumps of 10: 0‚Üí10‚Üí20‚Üí30. Then 4 jumps of 1: 30‚Üí31‚Üí32‚Üí33‚Üí34. He lands at 34. Choice B reverses the digits (43 instead of 34). Choice C represents adding 3+4=7 to 30. Choice D represents stopping after only the jumps of 10.

Question 5

Marcus is skip-counting by tens. He says 30,40,5030, 40, 50 and then gets confused. His friend tells him the next number is 5151. If Marcus listens to his friend and continues counting by tens from 5151, what will his next three numbers be?

  1. 61,71,8161, 71, 81 will be his next three numbers (correct answer)
  2. 52,53,5452, 53, 54 will be his next three numbers
  3. 60,70,8060, 70, 80 will be his next three numbers
  4. 61,62,6361, 62, 63 will be his next three numbers
Explanation: Although the friend gave incorrect advice (60 should follow 50, not 51), if Marcus continues counting by tens from 51, he would say: 61, 71, 81. Choice B shows counting by ones instead of tens. Choice C shows the correct tens sequence but from the wrong starting point. Choice D shows counting by ones from 61.

Question 6

Refer to the counting sequence below. Amy counts by tens starting from 1010: 10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,10010, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100. Then she counts backward by ones from 100100. What are the first 44 numbers she says when counting backward?

  1. 95,94,93,9295, 94, 93, 92 are her first four backward numbers
  2. 90,80,70,6090, 80, 70, 60 are her first four backward numbers
  3. 100,99,98,97100, 99, 98, 97 are her first four backward numbers
  4. 99,98,97,9699, 98, 97, 96 are her first four backward numbers (correct answer)
Explanation: When you see a question about counting sequences, pay attention to the direction (forward or backward) and the counting pattern (by ones, twos, tens, etc.). This question has two parts: first Amy counts by tens, then she switches to counting backward by ones. Let's follow Amy's counting carefully. She starts counting by tens: 10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,10010, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100. When she reaches 100100, she switches to counting backward by ones. The key question is: what does "counting backward by ones from 100100" mean? When you count backward by ones from 100100, you start at 100100 and subtract 11 each time: 100,99,98,97,96,95...100, 99, 98, 97, 96, 95... The question asks for the "first 44 numbers she says when counting backward." Since she already said 100100 at the end of her counting by tens, the first four new numbers when counting backward are 99,98,97,9699, 98, 97, 96. This makes D correct. Let's check the wrong answers. Choice A (95,94,93,9295, 94, 93, 92) skips several numbers - these would be her 5th through 8th backward numbers. Choice B (90,80,70,6090, 80, 70, 60) incorrectly continues counting backward by tens instead of switching to counting by ones. Choice C (100,99,98,97100, 99, 98, 97) includes 100100, but since Amy already said 100100 to end her first sequence, it shouldn't count as one of her backward numbers. Remember: when the counting pattern changes in a problem, pay close attention to where one sequence ends and the new one begins.

Question 7

Ben is playing a counting game. He starts at 00 and follows these rules: First, count by tens until you reach 4040. Then, count by ones until you reach 4545. How many numbers total did Ben say during his entire counting game?

  1. Ben said 1111 numbers total during the game
  2. Ben said 1010 numbers total during the game
  3. Ben said 88 numbers total during the game
  4. Ben said 99 numbers total during the game (correct answer)
Explanation: When you see a counting problem like this, you need to carefully track each number that gets spoken out loud, not just the final number reached. Let's follow Ben's counting step by step. He starts at 00 and first counts by tens until he reaches 4040. This means he says: 0,10,20,30,400, 10, 20, 30, 40. Count these on your fingers - that's 55 numbers so far. Next, Ben counts by ones from 4040 until he reaches 4545. Starting from 4040, he says: 41,42,43,44,4541, 42, 43, 44, 45. That's 55 more numbers. Adding both parts together: 55 numbers (counting by tens) + 44 numbers (counting by ones from 4141 to 4545) = 99 total numbers. Wait - let me recount the ones carefully. From 4040, he needs to say 41,42,43,44,4541, 42, 43, 44, 45, which is indeed 55 more numbers, but we already counted 4040, so we add 44 new numbers: 5+4=95 + 4 = 9. Choice A (1111 numbers) likely comes from miscounting both sequences. Choice B (1010 numbers) might result from counting 00 through 99 incorrectly or double-counting 4040. Choice C (88 numbers) probably comes from missing one number in either sequence. Remember: in counting problems, write out the actual sequence of numbers spoken rather than just looking at the endpoints. This prevents common counting errors and helps you see exactly what numbers are included.

Question 8

Sarah counts by tens from 2020 to 8080. Then she counts by ones from 8080 to 8585. How many numbers did Sarah say in total?

  1. 1212 numbers total
  2. 1313 numbers total
  3. 1111 numbers total (correct answer)
  4. 1010 numbers total
Explanation: Counting by tens from 20 to 80: 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 (7 numbers). Then counting by ones from 80 to 85: 81, 82, 83, 84, 85 (4 more numbers, not repeating 80). Total: 7 + 4 = 11 numbers. Choice A incorrectly counts 80 twice. Choice B adds an extra number due to miscounting. Choice D only counts the tens sequence.
