1.	Award TWO marks for the diagram completed correctly as shown.	Up to 2m

	If the answer is incorrect, award ONE mark for at least two lines correctly drawn.
Lines need not touch the boxes, provided the intention is clear.
Do not accept two or more lines emanating from the same
left-hand box.
 [2]

2.	(a)	350	1
(b)	112	1
[2]

3.	C	Accept alternative, unambiguous	1
indications of the answer such as a cross
on shape C or a line from C to the hole.
[1]

4.	Award TWO marks for all three numbers placed in the regions as shown.	Up to 2m

Do not accept a number repeated in different regions, eg

	If the answer is incorrect, award ONE mark for two numbers correctly placed.
Do not penalise answers which offer additional numbers (other than 8,15 and 40) on the diagram, whether correctly placed or not.
[2]

5.	620	1
[1]

6.	(a)	Award TWO marks for the correct answer of 74p OR £0.74	Up to 2m
	If the answer is incorrect, award ONE mark for evidence of appropriate
working, eg
	148 ¸ 2 = wrong answer
Accept for TWO marks 74 OR 0.74 OR £0. 74p OR .74 
OR £.74 OR £.74p
Accept for ONE mark £74p OR 0.74p as evidence of 
appropriate working.
Calculation must be performed for the award of ONE mark.
(b)	Award TWO marks for the correct answer of 22p OR £0.22	Up to 2m
	If the answer is incorrect, award ONE mark for evidence of appropriate 
working, eg
	2 × 85 – 148 = wrong answer
Accept for TWO marks 22 OR 0.22 OR £0.22 OR .22 OR £.22 OR £.22p
Accept for ONE mark £22p OR 0.22p OR £22 as evidence of appropriate working.
Calculation must be performed for the award of ONE mark.
[2]

7.	(a)	107	1
(b)	53	Answers must be calculated in each	1
case, eg do not accept 15 + 42 + 50
as the answer to 7a.
[2]

8.	(a)	5	1
(b)	– 3 OR minus 3	1
Accept ‘3 degrees below zero’ or similar OR –3’ written on either thermometer.
Do not accept ‘3–’ OR a mark on the thermometers such as a cross, unless the numerical answer is written.
[2]

9.	Award TWO marks for the correct answer of A, C, E.	Up to 2m
Accept letters in any order.
	Accept for ONE mark either three correct letters and one additional letter OR 
two correct letters and up to one incorrect letter.
Accept alternative, unambiguous indications, eg ticks or mirror lines drawn on the correct shapes.
[2]

10.	(a)	5	1
(b)	18	1
[2]

11.	
Accept alternative indications, eg the numbers crossed or underlined.
[1]

12.	Any two numbers such that Sara’s number is thirteen greater than Leon’s, eg	1
	Leon 10    Sara 23
Accept decimals, fractions, negative numbers and zero.
[1]

13.	630	1
[1]

14.	(a)	3 AND 4	1
Accept numbers in either order.

(b)	An explanation which recognises that more than half of the spinner	1
sections have 2 in them, eg
•	‘More than half are twos’;
•	‘There are five twos out of the nine’;
•	‘There are more twos than all the other numbers altogether’;
‘Because 2 has a probability of ’.
Do not accept vague or arbitrary explanations, eg
•	‘There’s more twos than any other number’;
‘It’s the easiest one to get’;
‘Twos are the most’.
[2]

15.	(a)	Award TWO marks for the correct answer of £2.10 OR 210p	Up to 2m
	If the answer is incorrect, award ONE mark for evidence of appropriate
working, eg
	350 ¸ 100 = 3.5
	3.5 × 60 = wrong answer
Accept for TWO marks £2.10p OR 210 OR 2.10
Accept for ONE mark £2.1 OR £210 OR 2.10p as evidence of appropriate working.
Calculation must be performed for the award of ONE mark.
(b)	Award TWO marks for the correct answer of 250	Up to 2m
	If the answer is incorrect, award ONE mark for evidence of appropriate 
working, eg
	200 ¸ 80 = 2.5
	100 × 2.5 = wrong answer.
Calculation must be performed for the award of ONE mark.
[4]

16.	(a)	width = 22	1
(b)	height = 17	1
If the correct answers are transposed, award the mark for 16b only.
[2]

17.	(a)	An answer in the range 21 to 26 inclusive.	1
No mark is awarded for an answer which is not a whole number.
(b)	An explanation which recognises that Tony’s snails are a quarter of 80 and that 
Gemma’s snails are half of 36, so that Tony found more, eg	1
•	‘Tony found 20 and Gemma found only 18’;
•	‘Quarter of 80 is more than half of 36’.
No mark is awarded for circling the correct answer of ‘Tony’.
Do not accept vague or arbitrary explanations, eg
•	‘Tony found loads more’;
‘Gemma found more but Tony’s amount is bigger’.
Accept a correct, unambiguous explanation even if the wrong name is circled.
[2]

18.	
	OR
	
Accept alternative indications such as the numbers crossed or underlined.
Do not accept 1000 circled twice.
[1]

19.	54	1
Accept figures written on the diagram, provided a total is given.
[1]

20.	Explanation which recognises that the numbers in the sequence are 	multiples of 40 and that 2140 is not OR that only the even hundreds in the sequence have the numbers 	ending in 40, eg
•	‘it doesn’t divide by 40’;
•	‘140 isn’t in it so 2140 won’t be’;
•	‘it will go 2000, 2040, 2080, 2120, 2160 ... so there’s no 2140’.
No mark is awarded for circling ‘No’ alone. 
Do not accept vague or arbitrary explanations, eg
•	‘It’s odd, so it won’t be there’;
‘It’s not part of the sequence’.
[1]

21.	4.85	1
[1]

22.	(a)	(11,9)	1
(b)	(15,3)	Accept answers written on the diagram with or without	1
brackets and commas. Co-ordinates must be in the correct order.
[2]

23.	Explanation which indicates that 300 can be added to 195, eg	1
•	‘It’s 3 × 100 more’;
•	‘You add another 300 on’;
•	‘3 × 65 = 195, 3 × 100 = 300 so it’s 495’;
•	‘100 has been added to 65, so multiply 100 by 3 and add it to 195’.
An answer to the multiplication is not required and no mark is awarded for it.
Do not accept vague answers such as:
•	‘You work it out’;
‘Do a sum’;
‘It’s nearly the same except it has 100 in front of it’.
