03 Answers and one-line notes
| # | Answer | One-line note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 42 sweets | 6 × 7 gives 42 sweets in total. |
| 2 | 72 | 8 × 9 gives 72 seats in all. |
| 3 | 54 dollars | 9 × 6 gives 54 dollars. |
| 4 | 35 | 7 × 5 gives 35 oranges. |
| 5 | 36 | The ninth multiple of 4 is 4 × 9, which is 36. |
| 6 | 42 days | 7 × 6 gives 42 days. |
| 7 | 72 pens, with 67 left | 9 × 8 gives 72 pens, and taking away 5 leaves 67. |
| 8 | They are equal, both 24 | 3 × 8 is 24 and 4 × 6 is 24, so the two products match. |
| 9 | 30 people | 4 × 7 gives 28, and 2 more makes 30. |
| 10 | 56 dollars | 8 × 7 gives 56 dollars; 15 comes from adding 8 and 7 instead of multiplying. |
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.
