Calculate Percentage Increase And Decrease
1 ticket
A shop increases the price of a jacket by 20% in January. In February, they decrease the new price by 20%. A customer says: 'The price is back to the original amount since 20% up and 20% down cancel out.' Is the customer correct? Show your calculations and explain your reasoning.

Difference of Two Squares
1 ticket
A student claims that 4x² - 9y⁴ can be factored as (2x - 3y²)(2x + 3y²), but also claims that 16 - 25x⁶ can be factored as (4 - 5x³)(4 - 5x³). Are both factorizations correct? Explain why or why not, and identify any errors in the student's reasoning.

Direct and Inverse Proportion
1 ticket
A factory produces widgets using two machines. Machine A takes 4 hours to produce 100 widgets working alone. When Machine A and Machine B work together, they take 3 hours to produce 180 widgets. If the number of widgets produced is directly proportional to the number of hours worked, and the machines work at constant rates:
(a) How long would Machine B take to produce 100 widgets working alone?
(b) If Machine A breaks down and only Machine B is available, how many widgets would Machine B produce in 6 hours?

Exchange Rates and Currency Conversions
1 ticket
Sarah is traveling from the UK to Japan. She exchanges £150 to Japanese Yen when the exchange rate is £1 = ¥160. In Japan, she spends ¥18,400. When she returns to the UK, she exchanges her remaining Yen back to Pounds, but the exchange rate has changed to £1 = ¥155. How many Pounds does Sarah have left after converting her remaining Yen back to Pounds?

Multiply And Divide Integers And Decimals By Powers Of 10
1 ticket
A student calculates 4.5 × 10³ and gets 45,000. Another student calculates 4.5 ÷ 10² and gets 0.045. For each calculation, explain whether the answer is correct or incorrect, and describe what happens to the decimal point when multiplying or dividing by powers of 10.

Multiplying decimals
1 ticket
A rectangular garden measures 2.5 meters by 3.8 meters. Calculate the area of the garden. Then, explain why your answer makes sense by comparing it to what the area would be if the garden measured 3 meters by 4 meters instead.

Product of prime factors
1 ticket
A number is expressed as 2² × 3 × 5³. Without calculating the actual number, explain whether it is divisible by 8, 9, 15, and 25. Justify your reasoning for each case using the prime factorisation.
Pythagoras' Theorem
1 ticket
A right-angled triangle has sides of length 6 cm and 8 cm. Is the hypotenuse necessarily 10 cm? Explain your reasoning with a diagram or calculation.

Simultaneous equations
1 ticket
Solve the simultaneous equations using the substitution method: y = 2x - 3 and 3x + 2y = 16. Explain why you chose to substitute one particular equation into the other, and what would happen if you made the opposite substitution choice.
Context: Focus on substitution method
completing the square
1 ticket
A student is asked to complete the square for the quadratic expression x² + 6x + 10. They write: x² + 6x + 10 = (x + 3)² + 1. Is their answer correct? Explain your reasoning by showing the correct method and identifying any errors in their working.

multiplying fractio9ns
1 ticket
A recipe requires 2/3 cup of flour to make 12 cookies. If you want to make 3/4 of the recipe, how much flour will you need? Explain your reasoning.
nonexistent_topic_xyz_123
1 ticket
A student claims that when you multiply any two numbers together, the result is always larger than either of the original numbers. Is this statement always true, sometimes true, or never true? Provide at least two specific examples to justify your answer, including one that shows why the student might think this way and one that reveals why their reasoning is incomplete.

quadratic equations
1 ticket
A student is solving the quadratic equation x² - 5x + 6 = 0. They correctly factor it as (x - 2)(x - 3) = 0, but then write the solutions as x = -2 and x = -3. Explain what misconception the student has, and show the correct method to find the solutions.

the quadratic formula
1 ticket
A student solves the quadratic equation 2x² - 8x + 8 = 0 using the quadratic formula and gets x = 2. Another student says this is incorrect because quadratic equations should have two solutions. Who is right? Explain your reasoning using the quadratic formula and what it reveals about this specific equation.
