Answer key — Math Kangaroo practice

Each wrong choice carries the thinking that produces it. When a student picks C, this is what they were doing.

1.C — 6KA-0015Reading tables, charts, and graphs
- AI read the vertical scale as going up in ones instead of in twos.
- BI counted the gridlines between the two bar tops instead of reading the values off the scale.
- DI gave Mia's total instead of the difference between Mia and Leo.
- EI added the two amounts together rather than subtracting to find how many more.
2.C — 110KA-0029Unit conversion
- AI subtracted correctly in metres but then gave the answer in metres when centimetres were asked for.
- BI converted 3.5 metres to 35 centimetres instead of 350.
- DI subtracted without converting at all, taking 3.5 away from 240.
- EI added the two lengths instead of finding the difference between them.
3.C — 750KA-0113Unit conversion
- AI worked in kilograms and gave the answer in kilograms when grams were asked for.
- BI converted 2.5 kg to 250 g rather than 2500 g.
- DI subtracted 1750 from 3000, mis-converting 2.5 kg as three thousand grams.
- EI subtracted without converting at all, taking 2.5 away from 1750.
4.D — 55KA-0118Reading tables, charts, and graphs
- AI read the axis as going up in ones and added the gridline heights instead of the values.
- BI gave the tallest bar rather than the total of all four.
- CI added only three of the four bars, missing the shortest one.
- EI read the shortest bar as 10 rather than 5, because the axis steps in fives.
5.A — 8KA-0144Translating a sentence into an equation
- BI subtracted 8 from 19 rather than working the two steps backwards.
- CI subtracted the 3 from 19 and gave that without halving it.
- DI added the 3 to 19 instead of subtracting it.
- EI doubled 19 and added 3, applying the machine forwards instead of undoing it.
