Correct answer:

Feedback on Rashid’s response:

• There is no evidence that he estimated his answer before calculating it.
• He needs to set his work out correctly and show each stage of working.
• The statement 60 − 12.75 + 42.99 is incorrect. It means subtract 12.75 from 60,
then add 42.99.
• It is not clear how he arrived at his answer. It does not match the calculation he
has written down.
• There are no units in his answer.
Feedback on Meera’s response:
• There is no evidence that she estimated her answer before calculating it.
• She has laid her work out clearly and given a final answer in dollars.
• She has not carried 1 unit from the tenths column in the addition.
• She has not written trailing zeros in the subtraction to help her.
