03 Answers and one-line notes

# Answer One-line note
1 300 words Add 100 and 200 to get 300.
2 35 minutes Five plus thirty is 35.
3 18 marks Three times six is 18.
4 50 words Two hundred divided by four is 50.
5 30 marks Twenty-one plus nine is 30.
6 6 marks per point Eighteen divided by three is 6.
7 8 words per minute Two hundred divided by 25 is 8.
8 18 marks Thirty times 0.6 gives 18.
9 50 words Subtract 200 from 250 to get 50.
10 75 per cent, so 25 per cent short 150 over 200 is 0.75, and short answers lose content marks.

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.
