03 Answers and one-line notes
| # | Answer | One-line note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 61 eggs. | 6 boxes give 54 eggs, and 7 more makes 61. |
| 2 | 32 dollars. | The books cost 48 dollars, so 80 minus 48 leaves 32. |
| 3 | 9 fruits. | Each bag holds 6 oranges, and 3 apples makes 9. |
| 4 | 16 pages. | He has read 84 pages, so 100 minus 84 is 16. |
| 5 | 63 packs. | The boxes hold 90 packs, and giving away 27 leaves 63. |
| 6 | 25 dollars. | The sheets cost 75 dollars, so the change is 25. |
| 7 | 7 people. | There are 28 girls, and 28 divided by 4 is 7. |
| 8 | 107 people. | There are 120 seats, and 13 empty seats leaves 107 people. |
| 9 | 36 years old. | The brother is 9, and 4 times 9 is 36. |
| 10 | Only one pack was used: 4 times 12 is 48, and 48 minus 19 is 29. | 12 minus 19 is negative, which already shows the total was never found. |
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.
