Math Quizzes for Elementary School Students (31–40)
Number fill-in-the-blank puzzle

Let’s try creating equations that lead to a predetermined answer! For example, suppose we have an equation like ○ + ○ + ○ = 20.
What numbers should we put in the circles to make the answer 20? You can provide a few choices of numbers to pick from, or leave it open and let people fill in any numbers they like.
In this problem of creating equations, it’s also recommended to adjust the difficulty—for instance, by changing the arithmetic operators in between, increasing the number of circles, or using decimals and fractions.

When you’re suddenly given just this information—“A pencil and a notebook together cost 100 yen, and the pencil is 40 yen cheaper than the notebook”—it’s not uncommon to panic and answer that the pencil costs 60 yen.
But that’s incorrect.
Saying “40 yen cheaper” doesn’t mean the notebook costs 40 yen.
You need to find prices where the difference between the pencil and the notebook is 40 yen.
With problems that have a bit of a trick like this, it’s important not to blurt out an answer right away, but to pause for a moment.
Try shifting your way of thinking, and you’ll start to see the numbers differently.
Volume Unit Quiz

When expressing the volume of water, we use units such as mL, dL, and L.
If your child has had a math lesson on measuring liquid volume, have them actually pour water into a measuring cup and answer, in a quiz-like format, how much is inside.
If you have several cups with markings, ask them to add the amounts—how much do you get when you combine this cup and that cup? Also, these units change as the quantity increases.
Along with the amount of water, study how the units convert—for example, 10 dL becomes 1 L, and 100 mL becomes 1 dL.
