03 Answers and one-line notes
| # | Answer | One-line note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 60 books | 6 times 10 gives 60 books. |
| 2 | 90 books | 9 times 10 gives 90 books. |
| 3 | 300 books | Adding the five numbers gives 300 books. |
| 4 | 50 books | 80 minus 30 leaves 50 books. |
| 5 | 60 books | 300 divided by 5 days is 60 books. |
| 6 | 170 books | 80 plus 90 makes 170 books. |
| 7 | 180 books | Same bar, double the value per grid: 9 times 20 is 180. |
| 8 | 4 grids | 40 divided by 10 gives 4 grids. |
| 9 | Friday, with 90 | Comparing the five days, 90 is the largest, so it is Friday. |
| 10 | 90 books | 9 is a grid count, not a number of books; multiply by 10 per grid. |
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.
Then try paper three, which works backwards from a total to the value of one grid.Tutor Registration →
