| 1 | 345 cm | Three metres is 300 cm, then add 45 cm. |
| 2 | 205 cm | Two metres is 200 cm, plus 5 cm gives 205. |

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.
