 Notes for parents and carers
These answers are provided to accompany the Maths Practice Year 4 Question Book, which is part
of the Schofield & Sims Primary Practice Maths series. Answers for all books in the series can be
downloaded from the Schofield & Sims website.

The structure
This PDF contains answers for every question in the book. Navigate the PDF document by clicking on
the hyperlink for the desired topic in the Contents page. Questions are presented in the order they
appear in the book.
In most units, explanations are included for each set of questions to support understanding of
the objective being covered. These explanations may suggest methods for working through each
question. Explanations are also supplied for questions that children may find particularly challenging.
Question number references have been added to answers when explanations from earlier questions
may aid understanding.
In the ‘Final practice’ section, explanations have been provided for every question. Marking guidance
is provided alongside the explanation to demonstrate how to allocate partial and full credit for work
as applicable.

Using the answers

Encourage children to work through each question carefully. They should begin by reading the question
thoroughly and identifying key terminology before forming their answer.
Although units have been included with these answers to aid understanding, note that children do not
need to write the units in their answers for the answers to be marked correct unless it is specified in the
question that units should be included.
Some questions in the Maths Practice Year 4 Question Book have multiple answers. The
explanations accompanying the answers in this document indicate where this is the case. For these
questions, accept any possible answers according to the limits laid out. There is no preference for
any examples provided in this document over other possible answers not listed and no preference for
answers listed first.
Where children have given an answer that is not correct, it may be useful to work through the question
with them to correct any misunderstandings.

Marking the ‘Final practice’ section

The timing for the ‘Final practice’ section is intended as a guide only. Some children may prefer to work
through the section with a longer time limit or without a time limit.
The marking guidance for some questions indicates that children may receive one mark for a correct
method that would lead to a correct answer. This is intended to recognise ability in cases where children
have used the correct method but have made a calculation error that has led to the use of incorrect
figures in their calculation.
After completing the ‘Final practice’ section, children may choose to revise topics that they have
identified as challenging. If they are comfortable with the material already covered, you may wish
to print out and award the editable certificate from the Schofield & Sims website to recognise their
achievement. The child may then wish to advance to the Maths Practice Year 5 Question Book.
