Complete the final assessment and review the last two harder questions carefully.
Think first
Good mathematicians decide what the question is asking before they calculate.
- 1What is the question asking me to show?
- 2Which questions can I answer confidently first?
- 3Have I shown enough working for my method to be followed?
- 4What mistake type should I review if an answer is wrong?
Visual teaching
See the method
A calm assessment checklist fills step by step, then errors sort into reading, method, calculation and unit categories.
Worked examples
What should you do if a question has several marks?
Step 1: What information is given by the marks?
Several marks usually means the method matters, not only the final answer.
Why: Working can earn credit and helps you find mistakes.
Step 2: What should be written?
Write the main calculation steps and the final answer.
Why: Clear steps make your thinking visible.
Step 3: What final detail should be checked?
Check units and write a sentence if the question is a word problem.
Why: Units and context often complete the answer.
Common mistake: Writing only the answer when the question expects a method.
A wrong answer came from using cm instead of cm^2. What type of mistake is it?
Step 1: What does cm measure?
cm measures length.
Why: Length is one-dimensional.
Step 2: What does cm^2 measure?
cm^2 measures area.
Why: Area covers a surface and uses square units.
Be careful: Correct arithmetic can still lose meaning if the unit is wrong.
Step 3: Name the mistake type.
This is a unit error.
Why: The method may be partly right, but the measurement label is wrong.
Common mistake: Treating unit mistakes as small spelling mistakes.
What should you do if one question is taking too long?
Step 1: What is the risk?
Spending too long on one question can lose time for easier marks.
Why: Assessment success depends on both accuracy and time use.
Step 2: What is the smart action?
Mark the question, move on, and return later.
Why: A fresh look often helps, and you protect time for other questions.
Step 3: What should you write if you know part of the method?
Write any useful working before moving on.
Why: Partial working may help when you return and can show thinking.
Common mistake: Staying stuck until time runs out.

Key idea
Assessment skill is about clear thinking, clear working and useful review. Show method, manage time calmly, keep units meaningful, and turn mistakes into revision targets.

Review mistakes by type: reading, method, calculation, units or time management.
