03 Answers and one-line notes
| # | Answer | One-line note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Girls around 8 to 13, boys around 9 to 14. | There is no fixed starting date, only a broad age range, and everyone differs. |
| 2 | Height and weight increase quickly as the body matures. | Puberty is one of the fastest growth stages, so sleep and nutrition matter. |
| 3 | The menstrual period begins. | A period is a normal body process, not an illness or an injury. |
| 4 | Bathe daily, change underwear often and keep skin clean and dry. | Cleaning reduces body odour and skin irritation. |
| 5 | About 8 to 10 hours a night. | Too little sleep harms attention, memory and mood. |
| 6 | At least 5, that is 2 fruit and 3 vegetables. | Vegetables and fruit carry different nutrients, so one cannot fully replace the other. |
| 7 | 56 hours. | 8 times 7 is 56 hours. |
| 8 | 36 cm in total. | 6 times 6 is 36 cm. |
| 9 | 420 minutes, which is 7 hours. | 60 times 7 is 420 minutes, and that divided by 60 is 7 hours. |
| 10 | No. Both boys and girls go through puberty. | Both grow taller and see skin and voice changes; only the timing differs. |
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.
After paper one, take paper two and sort out series against parallel in one pass.Tutor Registration →
