03 Answers and one-line notes
| # | Answer | One-line note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | East | To the right of north is east, one quarter turn clockwise. |
| 2 | North | To the left of east is north, one quarter turn anticlockwise. |
| 3 | North | An about turn is 180 degrees, and the opposite of south is north. |
| 4 | 3 rows and 4 columns | North changes the rows by 3 and east changes the columns by 4. |
| 5 | East, 4 squares | 3 + 1 = 4; both lie on the same row 2 squares north of school. |
| 6 | South-west | To the right of south-east is south-west, a quarter turn. |
| 7 | West | Light comes from the east, so the shadow falls the opposite way, to the west. |
| 8 | East, 3 squares | The 2 north and 2 south cancel out, leaving 3 squares east. |
| 9 | North-east | Swap east with west and south with north, so south-west becomes north-east. |
| 10 | West | Facing north, your left is west; east comes from a right turn, so left and right were swapped. |
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.
