03 Answers and one-line notes
| # | Answer | One-line note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 pupils | The count in front is the position minus one: 3 – 1 = 2. |
| 2 | C | B is left of C, so the order is A, B, C and C is on the right. |
| 3 | At the bottom | The numbers grow downwards, so level 5 is the lowest. |
| 4 | 3 rows | 5 rows in all, minus the 2 rows up to his own, leaves 3. |
| 5 | 2 | A and B stand to the left of C, so there are 2. |
| 6 | 2 | The seats between them are numbers 4 and 5, so 2 seats. |
| 7 | number 9 | From the back it is 12 – 4 + 1 = 9. |
| 8 | C, A, B | C goes to the far left and the other two keep their order. |
| 9 | level 5 | Counting upwards the number grows by one: 4 + 1 = 5. |
| 10 | No, May stands on the left of Ming | The slip reverses the direction; the two positions are opposite. |
04 What to do after marking
- After marking, redo only the wrong items and write down which step went wrong (formula, unit, or misread number).
- Repeat the same item two days later; move to the next paper only when both attempts are correct.
- Parents only need the answer and note columns; there is no need to explain every item.
