Are these textbook or past exam questions?

No. Every item is original and is not a textbook question or an official past paper.

How should a child follow up on a wrong item?

Read the one-line explanation, then redo a similar item once to check place value and carrying.

How do the three papers differ?

Paper 1 covers place value, comparing and round hundreds; Paper 2 adds carrying; Paper 3 uses two-step and reverse thinking.

6	Largest 730, smallest 307	For the largest, put 7 first; for the smallest the leading digit cannot be 0, so it is 307.
7	493	468 + 25 = 493.
8	9	999 − 990 = 9.
9	35	400 − 365 = 35, so add 35.

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.
