What objectives set e means

You practise BECE-style objective Maths questions that test quick thinking and careful working. This helps you spot the right method fast, avoid simple errors, and build confidence for timed tests.

What you will practise

  • Identify place value in whole numbers
  • Round numbers to the nearest ten
  • Add whole numbers accurately
  • Choose the correct answer from options
  • Work quickly under exam-style pressure

Before you start

You should already know place value up to thousands and how to add whole numbers. You should also be able to compare digits and round simple numbers.

Not confident yet? Work through Objectives Set C first.

Worked example

One question from this skill's own question bank, shown with its full working.

Question

What is the place value of 7 in 3,725?

  • Hundreds
  • Tens
  • Thousands
  • Units
Answer: Hundreds

Working: In 3,725 the digit 7 stands for 700, so its place value is hundreds.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Confusing the digit with its place value. Check where the digit sits before answering.
  • Rounding the wrong way when the units digit is 5 or more. Look at the units digit first.
  • Misadding numbers by skipping a step. Use column addition and carry carefully.
  • Rushing objective questions without checking the options. Read each answer before choosing.
