Common Mistakes and Marking Notes

Section A Common Errors:

Q1: Choosing digit itself (7) instead of place value (70)
Q9: Rounding in wrong direction or to wrong place value
Q10: Not simplifying fraction properly

Section B Common Errors:

Q16-17: Alignment errors in vertical addition/subtraction
Q20: Forgetting to convert kg to g first
Q23: Adding denominators instead of finding equivalent fraction

Section C Common Errors:

Q26-27: Wrong operation choice (multiplication vs addition)
Q28: Calculating total instead of difference
Q29: Missing one step in multi-step problem

Marking Guidelines:

Follow through marking: If student makes error in early step but follows correct method, award partial credit

D	30-34	60-69%
E	Below 30	Below 60%

Performance Analysis by Section:

Strong Performance Expected: Section A (MCQ) - direct recall and simple computation Moderate Performance Expected: Section B - application of learned procedures
Challenging Areas: Section C word problems - requires reading comprehension and operation selection

Remedial Recommendations by Score:

Below 30: Focus on basic number facts and place value concepts 30-39: Practice word problem analysis and multi-step procedures 40-44: Work on accuracy and speed for exam conditions 45+: Ready for more complex P3 topics and SA1 preparation
