1.D — ThursdayKA-0021Remainders and modular cycles

• AI found the remainder 2 but counted the two days starting from today rather than starting from tomorrow.
• BI divided 100 by 7 and used the quotient of 14, treating the leftover days as if there were none.
• CI remembered there was a remainder but used a remainder of 1 instead of working it out.
• EI counted 100 divided by 7 as 14 remainder 3 instead of remainder 2.

2.B — 8KA-0100Working backwards

• AI undid the operations in the order they were written instead of in reverse order.
• CI gave the final answer back, assuming the three steps cancelled each other out.
• DI doubled the 11 and subtracted the 6 but forgot the final halving that undoes the doubling.
• EI undid only the halving and stopped there without touching the other two steps.

3.B — 21.5KA-0115Multi-step arithmetic word problems

• AI halved the 60 pencils before giving any away.
• CI subtracted 17 from one box of 12 rather than from the whole 60.
• DI gave the number of pencils left over rather than what each child gets.
• EI gave the starting number of pencils without doing either of the steps.

4.C — 8KA-0147Circles: radius, diameter, and touching circles

• AI subtracted the radii, which is the answer when one circle sits inside the other.
• BI averaged the two radii instead of adding them.
• DI multiplied the radii together rather than adding them.
• EI added the two diameters instead of the two radii.

5.A — 6KA-0173Counting up to symmetry

• BI counted every colouring of the four edges and forgot that rotations make some of them identical.
• CI divided 16 by 4, but that only works when no painting is left unchanged by a rotation, and some are.
• DI halved 16, treating only the 180 degree turn as a symmetry.
• EI listed by how many edges are black but forgot that two black edges can be adjacent or opposite.
