The mistakes behind most wrong answers
A wrong answer in two-step problems with all four operations 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 shares 88 cards equally onto 8 plates, then eats 6 from one plate. How many are left on it?
The answer is 5. A child who answers 11 probably answered the first half and stopped.
Mia has 3 bags with 5 cards in each, then finds 1 more. How many does she have now?
The answer is 16. A child who answers 14 probably took away instead of adding.
Owen has 3 bags with 7 blocks in each, then finds 10 more. How many does he have now?
The answer is 31. A child who answers 20 probably added instead of multiplying.
Lucas shares 12 pencils equally onto 4 plates, then eats 1 from one plate. How many are left on it?
The answer is 2. A child who answers 47 probably multiplied instead of dividing.
