[2 marks]| Answer | Mark | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| \(-1\), 0, 1.8, 2 | B2 | B1 answer begins \(-1\) or ends 2 SC1 2, 1.8, 0, \(-1\) |
Additional guidance
| Do not allow misreads for B2 | |
| Accept extra zeros and 1.8 written as a fraction eg \(-1\), 0, \(\dfrac{9}{5}\), 2.0 | B2 |
| Answer | Mark | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| \(\dfrac{1}{4}\), \(\dfrac{1}{2}\), \(\dfrac{7}{8}\), \(3\dfrac{1}{10}\) | B2 | B1 answer begins \(\dfrac{1}{4}\) or ends \(3\dfrac{1}{10}\) SC1 \(3\dfrac{1}{10}\), \(\dfrac{7}{8}\), \(\dfrac{1}{2}\), \(\dfrac{1}{4}\) |
Additional guidance
| Do not allow misreads for B2 | |
| Accept correct conversions to equivalent fractions or decimals eg 0.25, \(\dfrac{4}{8}\), \(\dfrac{7}{8}\), \(3\dfrac{1}{10}\) | B2 |
| Do not accept any incorrect working or incorrect conversions for B2 eg1 \(\dfrac{1}{4}\), \(\dfrac{1}{2}\), \(\dfrac{7}{8}\), \(3\dfrac{1}{10}\) with 3.01 seen in working eg2 \(\dfrac{1}{4}\), \(\dfrac{1}{2}\), \(\dfrac{7}{8}\), 3.01 | B1 B1 |
| Condone any incorrect working or incorrect conversions for B1 eg \(\dfrac{1}{4}\), 0.3, \(\dfrac{1}{2}\), \(\dfrac{7}{8}\) | B1 |
| Condone correct percentage value without percentage sign for B2 eg \(\dfrac{1}{2} = 50\) is condoned as not incorrect working |
