03 Answers and one-line notes
| # | Answer | One-line note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 12 sweets | 20 split into 5 groups gives 4 each, and 3 groups make 12 sweets. |
| 2 | 8 pupils | 24 divided by 3 = 8, so there are 8 girls. |
| 3 | 3/9 | One is 9/9, then 9/9 minus 2/9 = 7/9 and 7/9 minus 4/9 = 3/9. |
| 4 | Eaten 5/8, left 3/8 | 3/8 plus 2/8 = 5/8, and 8/8 minus 5/8 = 3/8 is left. |
| 5 | 7/12 | One whole is 12/12, and 12/12 minus 5/12 = 7/12. |
| 6 | 13/15, larger by 2/15 | Same denominator, so 13 is bigger than 11 and the difference is 2/15. |
| 7 | 5/9 metre | One metre is 9/9 metre, and 9/9 minus 4/9 = 5/9 metre. |
| 8 | Each 1/3, together 3/3 which is 1 whole | Three equal parts give each 1/3, and the three parts together make 3/3, one whole pizza. |
| 9 | 15 dollars | 20 divided by 4 = 5 and 5 times 3 = 15 dollars. |
| 10 | 6/7 | With equal denominators the denominator stays: 4 plus 2 = 6 over 7, so the answer is 6/7. |
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.
