This question tests regrouping in tens and ones places.
- Add ones: 7 + 6 = 13 → Write 3, carry 1
- Add tens: 4 + 8 + 1 = 13 → Write 3, carry 1
- Add hundreds: 2 + 1 + 1 = 4
- Final answer: 433
247 + 186 = 433
247 + 186:
Ones: 7 + 6 = 13 → Write 3, carry 1
Tens: 4 + 8 + 1 = 13 → Write 3, carry 1
Hundreds: 2 + 1 + 1 = 4
Final answer: 433
Estimate: 250 + 190 = 440 (close to 433 ✓)
• Carrying: 2 points for correct regrouping
• Calculation: 1 point for correct answer
• Accuracy: 1 point for final answer
This question tests borrowing across place values.
523 - 178 = 345
523 - 178:
Ones: 3 - 8 → Borrow from tens: 13 - 8 = 5
Tens: 1 - 7 → Borrow from hundreds: 11 - 7 = 4
Hundreds: 4 - 1 = 3
Final answer: 345
Check: 345 + 178 = 523 ✓
• Borrowing: 2 points for correct regrouping
• Calculation: 1 point for correct answer
• Verification: 1 point for checking
This question tests application of subtraction to real-world situations.
642 - 289 = 353 books left
Operation: Subtraction (books sold, so fewer remain)
642 - 289:
Ones: 2 - 9 → Borrow: 12 - 9 = 3
Tens: 3 - 8 → Borrow: 13 - 8 = 5
Hundreds: 5 - 2 = 3
Final answer: 353 books left
Estimate: 640 - 290 = 350 (close to 353 ✓)
• Operation identification: 1 point for choosing subtraction
• Calculation: 2 points for correct computation
• Context answer: 1 point for including units

This question tests sequential operations and problem-solving.
Method 1: 754 - 289 - 147 = 318 books
Method 2: 754 - (289 + 147) = 754 - 436 = 318 books
Step 1: 754 - 289 = 465 books after Monday
Step 2: 465 - 147 = 318 books after Tuesday
Final answer: 318 books remaining
Estimate: 750 - 290 - 150 = 310 (close to 318 ✓)
• Sequence identification: 1 point for recognizing multiple operations
• First calculation: 1 point for 754 - 289 = 465
• Second calculation: 1 point for 465 - 147 = 318
• Final answer: 1 point for correct total
This question tests both estimation and exact calculation skills.
Estimate: 470 + 360 = 830
Exact: 472 + 358 = 830
Estimation: Round 472 to 470 and 358 to 360
470 + 360 = 830
Exact calculation: 472 + 358:
Ones: 2 + 8 = 10 → Write 0, carry 1
Tens: 7 + 5 + 1 = 13 → Write 3, carry 1
Hundreds: 4 + 3 + 1 = 8
Exact answer: 830
Estimate (830) equals exact answer (830) ✓
