Answer key — Math Kangaroo practice

Each wrong choice carries the thinking that produces it. When a student picks C, this is what they were doing.

1.C — 16KA-0019Multi-step arithmetic word problems
- AI found what one child has left and gave that instead of the total for all four.
- BI divided 24 by 4 and then subtracted 2 twice, mixing up per-child steps with total steps.
- DI subtracted 2 pencils once from the whole pack instead of once from each of the four children.
- EI subtracted the 2 before sharing, so only one lot of 2 ever came out of the total.
2.B — 21.5KA-0115Multi-step arithmetic word problems
- AI halved the 60 pencils before giving any away.
- CI subtracted 17 from one box of 12 rather than from the whole 60.
- DI gave the number of pencils left over rather than what each child gets.
- EI gave the starting number of pencils without doing either of the steps.
