03 Answers and one-line notes
| # | Answer | One-line note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 107 cm | One metre is 100 cm, then add 7 cm. |
| 2 | 9 m | 900 divided by 100 is 9. |
| 3 | 45 cm | 200 minus 155 is 45 cm. |
| 4 | 9 m | 60 times 15 is 900 cm, which is 9 metres. |
| 5 | 8 pieces | Four metres is 400 cm, and 400 divided by 50 is 8. |
| 6 | 150 cm | 800 minus 650 is 150 cm. |
| 7 | 740 cm | Use 250 and 120 cm, then perimeter is (250 plus 120) times 2. |
| 8 | 8 pieces, with nothing left over | 1000 divided by 125 is 8 with no remainder. |
| 9 | 105 cm | 120 plus 90 plus 105 is 315, and 315 divided by 3 is 105. |
| 10 | 308 cm | Three metres is 300 cm, plus 8 cm makes 308. |
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.
