The mistakes behind most wrong answers
A wrong answer in two-step word problems is rarely random. These are the ones that come up most often, each on a real problem — worth knowing before you mark a sheet, because the fix for each is different.
Kai has 72 cards, then gives away 61, and gives away 10 more. How many are left?
The answer is 1. A child who answers 11 probably answered the first half and stopped.
Mia has 11 cards, then gets 39 more, and then 5 more. How many does she have now?
The answer is 55. A child who answers 56 probably counted one too many or too few.
Lucas has 35 pencils, then gives away 1, and gives away 8 more. How many are left?
The answer is 26. A child who answers 42 probably added instead of taking away.
Owen has 12 blocks, then gets 55 more, and then 30 more. How many does he have now?
The answer is 97. A child who answers 37 probably took away instead of adding.
In the app, every wrong answer is matched against mistakes like these, and the weekly email tells you which one your child keeps making — in those words, not as a percentage.
