Match the Pairs

Draw a line connecting each item on the left to its match on the right.

Definitions

5 + 3

Fill in the Blanks

Complete each line of code by filling in the missing parts.

1.
sum = 5 _ 3
2.
multiply = 10 _ 2
3.
subtract = 15 _ 5
4.
quotient = 20 _ 4
5.
total = 7 + 3 print(_____)

Spot the Error

Shade in the letter of the line that contains an error.

Question 1
A total = 5 + 3
B result = 10 x 2
C print(result)
Question 2
A sum_val = 7 + 3
B difference = 15 - 5
C print(sum)
Question 3
A answer = 20 / 4
B total = 5 + 10
C product = 6 * 2
D print(anser)
Question 4
A a = 5
B b = 3
C result = a + b
D difference = 10 - 4
E print(reslt)
Question 5
A total = 10 + 5
B product = 6 * 3
C quotient = 15 / 0
D print(quotient)

Answer Key

Basic Arithmetic
Section A: Quick Questions
Q1
A — 8
Q2
B — 6
Q3
B — 12
Q4
A — 5.0
Q5
A — Multiply
Section B: Match the Pairs
Q1
5 x 3 → Error: Use * not x
Q2
result = 10 / 0 → Error: Division by zero
Q3
total = 8 + 3 * 2 → Valid: BODMAS applies
Q4
result = 10 / 4 → Ok: division gives float
Q5
print(7 - 3) → Output: 4
Q6
print(3 * 4) → Output: 12
Section C: Definitions
Q1
5 + 3 — + adds two numbers together.~~10 - 4
Section D: Fill in the Blanks
Q1
sum = 5 + 3
Q2
multiply = 10 * 2
Q3
subtract = 15 - 5
Q4
quotient = 20 / 4
Q5
total = 7 + 3 print(total)
Section E: Spot the Error
Q1
B — Line 2 uses x instead of *. Should be: result = 10 * 2
Q2
C — Line 3 prints sum instead of sum_val. Should be: print(sum_val)
Q3
D — Line 4 has a misspelling: anser should be answer
Q4
E — Line 5 misspells result as reslt
Q5
C — Line 3 divides by zero, which causes an error
