03 Answers and one-line notes
| # | Answer | One-line note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 050 bins | Take 4 200 from 5 250; ?by how many? means subtract. |
| 2 | 15% | 60% plus 25% is 85%, so 15% of 100% is left. |
| 3 | at 9 a.m. | The question asks for the start time, so answer 9 a.m. |
| 4 | it adds another point | In addition adds a further point; it is not a contrast. |
| 5 | 160 pupils | Multiply 40 by 4 trips to get 160. |
| 6 | a contrast between the two libraries | Unlike signals that the two libraries differ. |
| 7 | scrub | Count the list in order; the second step is scrub. |
| 8 | the noise is disliked, yet not everyone wants a change | Join both facts: noise is disliked but a move is not wanted by all. |
| 9 | Text B | Listing dangers and warnings is the purpose of a warning text. |
| 10 | 25% of the pupils took the bus. | A how many question needs the figure, not a because clause. |
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.
