Primary 1 Mathematics Quiz - Money (Answer Key)

Total Marks: 30

Section A: Multiple Choice Questions (Questions 1–5, 1 mark each)

1. Answer: B (1 mark)
Explanation: Singapore coins are 5¢, 10¢, 20¢, 50¢, and $1. The$ 1, $2, and$ 10 are notes, not coins. The 50¢ coin is the only coin listed.

2. Answer: C (1 mark)
Explanation: 50¢ ÷ 10¢ = 5. Five 10¢ coins make 50¢.
Method: Count in 10s: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 → 5 coins.

3. Answer: C (1 mark)
Explanation: Two 20¢ coins = 40¢. One 10¢ coin = 10¢. Total = 40¢ + 10¢ = 50¢.

4. Answer: B (1 mark)
Explanation: Five 10¢ coins = 5 × 10¢ = 50¢.

A: Two 20¢ = 40¢ ✗
C: Three 10¢ = 30¢ ✗
D: 20¢ + 10¢ = 30¢ ✗

5. Answer: A (1 mark)
Explanation: Two 20¢ coins = 40¢. The pencil costs 40¢. She has exactly enough money with nothing left over.

Section B: Short Answer Questions (Questions 6–15)

6. Answer: Circle the 20¢, 20¢, 10¢, 10¢ coins (or 50¢ + 10¢) (1 mark)
Explanation: Combinations that make 60¢:

20¢ + 20¢ + 10¢ + 10¢ = 60¢ (uses four coins shown)
50¢ + 10¢ = 60¢ (uses two coins shown)
Either combination is correct. Students should circle one valid set.

7. (2 marks, 0.5 marks each)
(a) 50 ¢
(b) 20 ¢
(c) 10 ¢
(d) 5 ¢
Explanation: The value of each coin is written on the coin itself. A 50¢ coin is worth 50 cents, a 20¢ coin is worth 20 cents, etc.

8. Answer: 60 ¢ (1 mark)
Working: 20¢ + 20¢ + 10¢ + 5¢ + 5¢ = 60¢
Explanation: Add the values of all coins: 20 + 20 = 40; 40 + 10 = 50; 50 + 5 = 55; 55 + 5 = 60.

9. Answer: Draw one 50¢ coin and one 20¢ coin (2 marks)
Explanation: To make 70¢ with the fewest coins:

Start with the largest coin (50¢) → 70 - 50 = 20¢ left
Use one 20¢ coin → 20 - 20 = 0
Total: 2 coins (50¢ + 20¢). Other combinations like 20¢+20¢+20¢+10¢ use 4 coins.

10. Answer: (2 marks, 0.5 marks each)

Eraser (30¢) → A (20¢+20¢+10¢ = 50¢? Wait, 20+20+10=50, not 30. Let me fix the matching.)
Correction for Q10 matching:
Eraser (30¢) → Should match 20¢+10¢ (but not listed). Let me re-read the question setup.
The right column shows: A: 20+20+10=50¢, B: 50¢, C: 20¢, D: 20+20=40¢.
Left column: Eraser 30¢, Ruler 50¢, Sharpener 20¢, Pencil 40¢.
Correct matching:
Eraser 30¢ → No exact match (error in question design)
Ruler 50¢ → A or B
Sharpener 20¢ → C
Pencil 40¢ → D

Marking note: Since Eraser 30¢ has no match, accept any reasonable attempt. Full marks if other three matched correctly.
Revised correct matching for answer key:

Ruler (50¢) → B (50¢)
Sharpener (20¢) → C (20¢)
Pencil (40¢) → D (20¢+20¢)
Eraser (30¢) → No match / A (50¢) is incorrect

11. Answer: 20 ¢ (2 marks)
Working:
Total money = 50¢ + 20¢ + 10¢ = 80¢
Money spent = 60¢
Money left = 80¢ - 60¢ = 20¢

12. Answer: 50 ¢ (1 mark)
Working: 80¢ - 30¢ = 50¢
Explanation: Subtract the amount spent from the amount she had.

13. (2 marks, 1 mark each)
(a) Answer: 95 ¢
Working: 50¢ + 20¢ + 20¢ + 5¢ = 95¢
(b) Answer: 5 ¢
Working: $1 = 100¢. 100¢ - 95¢ = 5¢ **Explanation:**$ 1 is 100 cents. Subtract the total from 100 to find how many more cents needed.

14. Answer: Bala has 10¢ more. (2 marks)
Working:
Ahmad: 3 × 20¢ = 60¢
Bala: 1 × 50¢ = 50¢
Wait — Ahmad has 60¢, Bala has 50¢. So Ahmad has 10¢ more.
Correction: Ahmad has 60¢, Bala has 50¢. Ahmad has 10¢ more.
Common mistake: Students may think 50¢ coin is "bigger" so Bala has more. Emphasise calculating total value.

15. (2 marks, 0.5 marks each)
(a) ** $1** (Two 50¢ = 100¢ =$ 1)
(b) ** $1** (Five 20¢ = 100¢ =$ 1)
(c) ** $1** (Ten 10¢ = 100¢ =$ 1)
(c) ** $1** (Twenty 5¢ = 100¢ =$ 1)
Explanation: All combinations make 100¢ which equals $1. This shows different ways to make$ 1 using coins.

Section C: Word Problems (Questions 16–20, 2 marks each)

16. Answer: 20 ¢ (2 marks)
Working:
$1 = 100¢ Change = 100¢ - 80¢ = 20¢ **Marking:** 1 mark for correct conversion ($ 1 = 100¢), 1 mark for correct subtraction and answer.

17. Answer: 30 ¢ (2 marks)
Working:
Money needed = 90¢ - 60¢ = 30¢
Marking: 1 mark for correct operation (subtraction), 1 mark for correct answer.

18. Answer: 40 ¢ (2 marks)
Working:
Lily's money = (2 × 20¢) + (3 × 10¢) = 40¢ + 30¢ = 70¢
Money left = 70¢ - 30¢ = 40¢
Marking: 1 mark for finding total money (70¢), 1 mark for correct subtraction and answer.

19. Answer: 20 ¢ (2 marks)
Working:
Total cost = 50¢ + 30¢ = 80¢
$1 = 100¢
Change = 100¢ - 80¢ = 20¢
Marking: 1 mark for finding total cost (80¢), 1 mark for correct change calculation.

20. Answer: 10 ¢ (2 marks)
Working:
Cost of notebook = 60¢
Cost of sticker = 10¢
Total spent = 60¢ + 10¢ = 70¢
Money left = 80¢ - 70¢ = 10¢
Marking: 1 mark for finding total spent (70¢), 1 mark for correct subtraction and answer.

Common Mistakes to Watch For:

Confusing cents and dollars: Remind students that 100¢ = $1.
Not converting $1 to 100¢ when subtracting cents from a dollar.
Thinking larger physical coin = more value (e.g., 50¢ coin vs three 20¢ coins).
Forgetting to find total money first in multi-step problems (e.g., Q18).
Counting coins instead of adding values (e.g., "3 coins" instead of "60¢").

Teaching Notes:

Use real or play coins for hands-on practice.
Practise "making $1" with different coin combinations.
Emphasise the "count on" strategy for giving change: from 80¢ count on to 100¢ (90, 100) → 20¢ change.
Relate to real-life situations: buying food at canteen, shopping with parents.
