NAEP NAEP Mathematics Grade 4 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: On NAEP Grade 4 Mathematics, which number sentence represents the Commutative Property of Multiplication?
- 5 × (2 × 3) = (5 × 2) × 3
- 4 × 6 = 6 × 4 (Correct answer)
- 3 × 1 = 3
- 7 × 0 = 0
Correct answer: 4 × 6 = 6 × 4
The Commutative Property states that changing the order of factors does not change the product: a × b = b × a.
Question 2: A NAEP Grade 4 Mathematics question asks students to round 5,382 to the nearest hundred. What is the answer?
- 5,300 (Correct answer)
- 5,400
- 5,000
- 5,380
Correct answer: 5,300
The digit in the tens place is 8, but we look at 82: since 82 < 50, we round down to 5,300.
