What is in the quiz?
Pick a grade and answer 10 mixed questions. Most ask for a number, and some have two or three boxes, like tens and ones. Others use big buttons, such as choosing <, > or =, or picking the right number name.
A wrong answer shows the working, such as which place the digit is in. That turns every mistake into a short lesson. Play again gives a fresh quiz every time.
Numbers can be typed with or without commas. Indian commas, like 25,00,000, are marked correctly too.
How to use the quiz
- As a check-up: take the quiz for your child’s grade once a week and note the score.
- Read the working: every wrong answer shows how to do it. Talk through one together.
- Go back a grade if the score is under 6 out of 10. Most grade 4 mistakes start with grade 2 gaps, like zeros as placeholders.
- For one skill at a time, use the place value practice tool and pick a skill.
- To track progress step by step, use the place value levels.
You can link straight to a grade: grade 1 · grade 2 · grade 3 · grade 4 · grade 5.
What the score means
| Score | What to do next |
|---|---|
| 9 or 10 | Secure. Try the next grade, or the next level. |
| 7 or 8 | Nearly there. Read the working for the misses and retake in a few days. |
| 6 or less | Go back to the lessons for the question types missed, or try the grade below. |
Look at which questions were missed, not just the total. Three misses on number names need a different fix from three misses on rounding.
