Foundation November 2019 Paper 1 Q10
10 Here are three calculations, A, B and C.
| A | B | C |
|---|---|---|
| \(100 \times 20\,000\) | 1 million \(\div\) 2 | \(4 \times 100\,000\) |
Put the calculations in order.
Start with the calculation that has the smallest answer.
You must show the answer to each calculation. [3 marks]
| Answer | Mark | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| (A =) 2 000 000 and (B =) 500 000 and (C =) 400 000 and smallest answer C B largest answer A | B3 | allow values or calculations instead of letters on answer lines B2 two of (A =) 2 000 000, (B =) 500 000, (C =) 400 000 B1 (A =) 2 000 000 or (B =) 500 000 or (C =) 400 000 |
Additional guidance
| Answer line takes precedence over working | |
| Any of the original value(s) misread or miscopied is max B2 for calculations | |
| Once a correct evaluation has been seen, ignore further attempts to manipulate it for up to B2 eg 400,000 = 0.004 million, 0.5 million, 2 million, answer = CBA | B2 |
| Accept values in words eg accept half a million for 500 000 | |
| Ordering of their values is irrelevant when awarding B2 or B1 | |
| Ignore (incorrect) spacings or any use of commas within numbers or continental notation eg 4 00000 50 0000 2,00000,0 eg 40.0000 500.000 2.000.000 | B3 B3 |
| C B A no correct calculations seen | B0 |
