03 Answers and one-line notes
| # | Answer | One-line note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1/4 of the cake | Cut into 4 equal pieces, one piece is written as 1/4, and the denominator 4 tells the number of pieces. |
| 2 | 3/8 of the pizza | Eight equal slices with three taken gives numerator 3 over denominator 8, that is 3/8. |
| 3 | 1/3 | Sharing into 3 equal groups makes each group 1 part out of 3, that is 1/3. |
| 4 | Numerator 2, denominator 5 | The number above the line is the numerator 2 and below it is the denominator 5. |
| 5 | 1 | When the numerator equals the denominator all 5 parts are taken, so 5/5 equals 1. |
| 6 | 1/2 is larger | The more pieces an object is cut into, the smaller each piece, so 1/2 is larger than 1/3. |
| 7 | 5/7 | With the same denominator add the numerators: 2 + 3 = 5, giving 5/7. |
| 8 | 3/6 | With the same denominator subtract the numerators: 5 minus 2 = 3, giving 3/6. |
| 9 | 3/4 of the rope | Four equal parts with three taken is 3/4 of the rope. |
| 10 | Numerator 3, denominator 4 | The numerator sits above the line, so it is 3, and the denominator below it is 4. |
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.
