Answer key and marking notes
| Q | Answer | Working |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 200 | (64 − 56) × 25 = 8 × 25 |
| 2 | 35 | 31.47 + 18.53 = 50 50 − 12.9 − 2.1 |
| 3 | 14.25 | 0.2 x 5 = 1, then multiply 14.25 |
| 4 | 4 1924 | L.C.M. 24: 177 – 116 + 54 = 115/24 |
| 5 | 192 | 20 × 0.25 = 5 38.4 × 5 |
| 6 | 12 | 20/9 × 3/2 = 10/3 10/3 × 18/5 = 12 |
| 7 | 2 | 15/4 × 8/15 = 2 |
| 8 | 2 12 | 35/6 × 3/7 = 5/2 |
| Q | Answer | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 306 045 000 | 306 millions plus 45 thousands |
| 2 | 12 | 36 = 2²×3² 60 = 2²×3×5 |
| 3 | 0.3 | 0.07 × 4.3 = 0.301 |
| 4 | hundredths | 4 tenths, 8 hundredths, 2 thousandths |
| 5 | 743 210 | largest first; the units digit must be 0 |
| 6 | 8 | 72 ÷ 9 |
| 7 | 7 | 6 side faces plus 1 base |
| 8 | 4y years old | 4 × y |
| 9 | (b ÷ 5) cm | total length divided by the number of pieces |
| 10 | (p ÷ 4) cm | one quarter means dividing by 4 |
| Q | Answer | Marking note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Name: pentagonal prism Balls: 10 Sticks: 15 | pentagonal prism: 10 vertices, 15 edges |
| 2 | (a) Playground (b) Bookshop (c) South | NE is up and right; going south from the Park reaches the Bookshop; Cinema to Kiosk is south |
| 3 | (a) mL (b) cm (c) kg | capacity in mL, length in cm, weight in kg |
| 4 | 54 cm² | parallelogram 10 x 6 = 60, minus the cut 3 x 4 / 2 = 6 |
| 5 | 63 cm² | height of A = 45 x 2 / 10 = 9 cm; B = 14 x 9 / 2 |
| 6 | 3/16 | 3 out of 16 squares |
| 7 | 5 cm | triangle 12 x 5 / 2 = 30; (4 + 8) / 2 x h = 30, so h = 5 |
| 8 | 36 cm² | parallel sides 12 and 6, slants 5 each, so 3 is left on each side; 3-4-5 gives height 4; (12+6)/2 x 4 |
| 9 | (a) ✓ (b) ✗ (c) ✓ | (b) one face overlaps and the opposite face is missing |
| 10 | Pyramid (7-sided base): 8 balls, 14 sticks Prism (10-sided base): 20 balls, 30 sticks | pyramid: balls = base sides + 1, sticks = 2 x base sides; prism: balls = 2 x base sides, sticks = 3 x base sides |
| 11 | (see the answer figure: add the rectangle opposite the missing face) | a cuboid net needs 6 faces; one is missing |
| 12 | 54 cm² | base 9 x height 6 (the slant 7 is not used) |
| Q | Answer | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Football | the row with the most symbols |
| 2 | 6 | 30 − 24 |
| 3 | Drawing and Dance | both rows have 4 symbols |
| 4 | 3/4 | 36 ÷ 48 = 3/4 |
| 5 | 36 | 216 ÷ 6 |
| Q | Answer | Working |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | width 45 m; area 3375 m² | 240 ÷ 2 − 75 = 45 75 × 45 |
| 2 | 480 cm³ | 12 × 8 × 5 |
| 3 | 250 mL | 1.5 L = 1500 mL 1500 ÷ 6 |
| 4 | 16 bags | 2.4 ÷ 0.15 = 240 ÷ 15 |
| 5 | 9 L | 40 x 25 x 18 = 18 000 cm3 = 18 L; half of it |
| 6 | $35.6 | 3.5 × 18.4 = 64.4 100 − 64.4 |
Four most common losses
- Using the slant side instead of the height for a parallelogram area.
- Forgetting to turn the second fraction upside down when dividing.
- Judging a net by counting faces only, without checking overlaps.
