QUESTION
KEY
SOLUTION
Correctly count the candles. There are
7 candles on the cake.
STRAND
LEVEL OF
DIFFICULTY
Number and
Arithmetic
Easy
Moving from one dot to the next counts as
one move. Two south-west and four southeast moves (or four south-east and two southwest) are the minimum required to get from
START to FINISH.
Space and
Geometry
Easy
The set consists of shapes that are triangles.
Space and
Geometry
Easy
There are 24 wheels. Each car needs four
wheels. Divide 24 by 4 to work out the number
of cars Lim can make.
24 divided by 4 equals 6.
Number and
Arithmetic
Easy
Shape D consists of two regular hexagons
joined together. It is the shape that fills the
gap.
Space and

Easy
D correctly folds to make a cube.

Medium
On the first die, faces 4, 5 and 6 are not shown.
On the second die, faces 1, 3 and 5 are not
shown. Therefore, the total of the numbers
that are not shown is 24.
Number and
Arithmetic
Medium/Hard
The number 5800 has 5 thousands (which
is equal to 50 hundreds) and 8 hundreds.
Altogether, it is 58 hundreds.
Number and
Arithmetic
Medium/Hard
100g + 50g + 25g + 25g + 7 g = 100g + 50g
+ 50g + 7g. Therefore, only two of the 25g
weights are used. Thus, the only weight not
used is 25g.
Number and
Arithmetic
Hard
Area of five counters Area of three counters
= 31 19 =12 (Area of two counters)
Area of three counters Area of two counters
= 19 12 = 7 (Area of one counter)
