Maths : Problems with words (2)

Continuing with the document we created using Test Base which contained all of the Level4 questions from all the old SATs papers.

We brought each question up in turn and completed it on an individual basis

Once we all had an answer we would consider the method used to solve
the problem.

We discovered that the actual maths was quite simple once we had unravelled the problem.

The problems were often in two steps.

We pointed out more of the tricks and traps used by the testers to misdirect pupils.
