Where the marks go in algebra
Algebra is new at P6. PSLE asks a child to write an expression from words, simplify it and substitute a value, and to solve simple equations. The words to letters step is where most marks go.
The mistakes this paper looks for
- Writing 3 + k for 3 more than k times a number
- Adding unlike terms, such as 4k + 3 = 7k
- Substituting before simplifying and slipping in the arithmetic
Try a question from this paper
Paper 1, Question 11 (2 marks). A file costs $x. A bag costs $7 more than 2 files. What is the total cost of 2 files and 1 bag, in dollars?
- 2x + 7
- 2x + 9
- 4x + 14
- 4x + 7
Show the answer
(4) 4x + 7
Bag: 2x + 7
2 files and the bag: 2x + 2x + 7 = 4x + 7
