03 Answers and one-line notes
| # | Answer | One-line note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 50 minutes | From 9:15 to 10:00 is 45 minutes, plus 5 more gives 50 minutes. |
| 2 | 1 hour 25 minutes | 45 plus 40 makes 85 minutes, which is one hour and 25 minutes. |
| 3 | 2 hours | Three lessons make 120 minutes, which is exactly 2 hours. |
| 4 | 4:15 p.m. | 50 plus 25 makes 75 minutes, one hour and 15 minutes, so the time is 4:15 p.m. |
| 5 | 12:15 p.m. | 40 plus 35 makes 75 minutes, so one hour later plus 15 minutes gives 12:15 p.m. |
| 6 | 35 minutes | Five minutes to 8:00 plus 30 more minutes makes 35 minutes. |
| 7 | 15 minutes | Three marks of 5 minutes each give 15 minutes. |
| 8 | 135 minutes | Two hours is 120 minutes, plus 15 gives 135 minutes. |
| 9 | 1 hour 40 minutes | Subtracting 60 minutes leaves one hour and 40 minutes. |
| 10 | 90 minutes | One hour is 60 minutes, so 1 and 30 cannot be joined as 130; the correct total is 90 minutes. |
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.
