03 Answers and one-line notes
| # | Answer | One-line note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Row 5, column 5 | Moving up adds 3 to the row number: 2 + 3 = 5, and the column stays the same. |
| 2 | Row 4, column 5 | Moving right adds 2 to the column: 3 + 2 = 5, and the row stays the same. |
| 3 | East | Facing south, your left hand points east, so a left turn faces east. |
| 4 | 7 squares | The rows differ by 3 and the columns by 4, so 3 + 4 = 7. |
| 5 | North | Facing west, your right hand points north, so a right turn faces north. |
| 6 | 200 m | From column 1 to column 5 is 4 squares, and 4 times 50 m gives 200 m. |
| 7 | North-west | The opposite of south-east is north-west, so reverse both parts at once. |
| 8 | 6 squares | The rows differ by 3 and the columns by 3, so 3 + 3 = 6. |
| 9 | South | Turning round takes east to west, then a left turn takes west to south. |
| 10 | East | Facing north, your right hand points east, so a right turn is east, not west. |
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.
