Dear Parents,
Please take note.
Q1 The pupils were asked to write the answer in the box provided. The answer is 8. There are pupils who wrote 8×4. It is accepted too. However, strictly speaking, the answer 8×4 can cause ambiguity because it could mean that the child is trying to say:
4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 is the same as 8×4 × 4 which is wrong.
Hence, it is more accurate to write just 8 as the answer.
Q3 Some pupils circled more than 2 answers. No marks are awarded even if one of them includes the correct answer.
Q6
Many children made a mistake for this question. There are 2 ways of solving this. [1] Pupils can do mental calculation 28 ÷ 7 = 4. [2] Pupils can draw 7 circles to represent 7 groups and draw a stick to represent 1 star in every group until he/ she counted 28 sticks. That will mean 4 sticks in each group and pupil will circle 7 groups of 4 stars.
Q9 For this question, it is insufficient if your child can circle (divide) the correct number of spiders into groups but unable to produce a correct multiplication sentence and answers. Marks are only awarded to the correct method/ answer. The pictures are meant to guide them.
