1-mark Short-answer Questions

Marks are awarded for the correct answers written on the answer line. Don’t penalize if
no workings are shown. The answer written on the answer line is final.

However, if the answer line is left blank, look at student’s working steps. If the final step
shows the correct answer, award [A1].

Questions 21 – 30, 2 marks each. Follow the allocation of marks closely.

2-mark Short-answer Questions

Marks are awarded as follows:

 1 mark for the correct method (M1) and 1 mark for the correct answer (A1).

 If the final answer is incorrect but correct method / working is shown, award (M1).
 If no workings are shown and the answer is correct, award 2 full marks (A2).

 If the workings shown are illogical (not likely to lead to the correct answer) but a
correct answer is written on the answer line, do not award any mark.
 Any unit required in an answer is provided next to the answer line. Answers are to be
given in the unit specified.

Question Solution
21 2 days  7 shirts 1 day  3.5 shirts
8 days  4 x 7 [M1] OR 8 days  8 x 3.5 [M1]
= 28 shirts [A1] = 28 shirts [A1]

22 84 + 96 + 78 = 258
258 ÷ 3 [M1]
= 86 [A1]

23 9 units = 126 kg 1 unit = 126 ÷ 9 = 14 kg

3 units = 126 ÷ 3 [M1] OR 3 units = 3 x 14 [M1]
= 42 kg [A1] = 42 kg [A1]

3 / 4 / 5-mark Long-structured Questions:
 If no workings is shown, award only A1 if answer on the answer line is correct.
 For missing / wrong standard units, minus ½ mark from Answer marks.
[If there are 2 parts to a question and both parts have missing / wrong units, minus
½ mk overall only.]
 For wrong use of “=” sign, minus ½ mark from Method marks.
 For transfer errors in the working steps, follow through and award Method marks
accordingly.
 For transfer errors / misread from the beginning, ie., candidate copies the numbers
down from the question wrongly, but subsequent steps are all correct and logical,
award maximum M marks minus 1.
For example:
For a 4-mark question, max. M marks is 3, so the child gets M3 – 1 = 2 marks.
No A mark to be given.

Question Solution
17 Method 1
Common multiple of 8 and 12 is 24

Small  24 ÷ 8 x 5 = 15
[M1] for either one
Big  24 ÷ 12 x 3 = 6

For every (set of) 24 cm, 15 – 6 = 9 (more small than big albums)

# of sets  54 ÷ 9 = 6 [M1]
# of small albums  6 x 15 [M1]
= 90 [A1]

Allocation of marks:
1st complete check for common multiple and checking for diff. of 54 [M1]
2nd complete check for common multiple and checking for diff. of 54 [M1]
Final complete check for common multiple and arriving at the correct
difference of 54 [M1]

Answer: 90 small photo albums [A1]

Method 3
Wide of 5 small albums = wide of 2 big albums
Difference = 5 – 2 = 3 (more small than big albums) [M1]
# of sets of small albums  54 ÷ 3 = 18 [M1]
# of small album  18 x 5 [M1]
= 90 [A1]
