Example Question #1081 : Ssat Elementary Level Quantitative (Math)
Find the sum.
152
135
125
126
125
To find the sum, you need to add. Line up all numbers vertically. Add up the ones column first:
Carry the “10” in 15. Now add the tens place:
The sum is 125.
Example Question #1081 : Ssat Elementary Level Quantitative (Math)
What number is hiding behind the starburst?
To solve this problem, you first need to see that the two addends make up parts of the whole, which is 22. Since the first addend is 4, we already know that one part is 4. To figure out the missing addend, we can either:
A) start at 4 and count up to 22
B) start at 22 and count back by 4
To double check the answer, you just need to make sure that when you put the two parts together, you get the whole, 22!
Example Question #1081 : Numbers And Operations
Hammond has 3 bins of crayons at home. Each bin has 5 crayons. Which of these number sentences could Hammond use to figure out how many crayons she has in all?
Because Hammond has 3 bins, and each bin has 5 crayons, you should add 5 together 3 times:
One way to double check your answer is to draw a picture of the problem and then see if the number sentence matches the picture.

Example Question #1082 : Numbers And Operations
Find the sum.
The sum of a group of numbers is when you add them all together. Thus you need to add in column form all three numbers together.
Example Question #1083 : Ssat Elementary Level Quantitative (Math)
A first-grade class went on a class trip to the circus. At the circus, Damya bought a hot dog and a drink. How much money did she spend altogether?
Damya bought a hot dog for 
First, add the tens together. 5 tens and 3 tens make 8 tens, or 80.
Next, add the ones together. 4 ones and 5 ones make 9 ones, or 9.
Double check your answer by drawing tens and ones, then counting all tens and counting on by ones:
||||| + ||| = 8 tens.
**** + ***** = 9 ones.
Example Question #1084 : Ssat Elementary Level Quantitative (Math)
Orlando went to soccer practice at 10:30. It lasted for half an hour. What time did he finish?
If Orlando's practice lasts a half hour, or thirty minutes, the minute hand will move halfway around the clock, or thirty minutes. Since it started at thirty minutes, it will move halfway around the clock to 60 minutes. The hour hand will also move halfway between two hours. Since it's halfway between the 10th and 11th hour, it'll move forward to the 11th hour.
Example Question #1085 : Ssat Elementary Level Quantitative (Math)
At the market, Javon decided to get some fruits and vegetables. He bought 2 tomatoes. How much money did he spend altogether?
Since each tomato costs 24 cents, Javon will need to add 
24 has 2 tens and 4 ones, so he will need to add 
The final answer is 
Example Question #1086 : Ssat Elementary Level Quantitative (Math)

Because this is an addition problem, we are adding quantities together. If you start by adding ones, you see we begin with
Next, moving onto tens, we begin with
