Question 1 — Easy
In a sports quiz, players score points (which can be negative). Player A: 8, Player B: −3, Player C: −12, Player D: 5. Which player has the LOWEST score?
Answer: The lowest score is the smallest number on the number line. −12 < −3 < 5 < 8, so Player C has the lowest score. Option D (Player B, −3) is lower than A and D but not as low as Player C's −12. Options A and B both have positive scores, so they cannot be lowest when negative scores exist.
Question 2 — Easy
The school fete starts at 10:15 am and ends at 2:45 pm. How long does the fete last?
Answer: From 10:15 am to 2:45 pm: 10:15 am to 2:15 pm = 4 hours. 2:15 pm to 2:45 pm = 30 minutes. Total = 4 hours 30 minutes. Option A (3 hours 30 minutes) may result from counting from 11:15 or miscounting hours. Option B (5 hours 30 minutes) overcounts the hours. Option C (4 hours) ignores the extra 30 minutes from the :15 to :45 minute positions.
Question 3 — Easy
Answer: The bar for Swimming reaches 8 on the vertical axis, so Australia won 8 gold medals in Swimming.
How should my child prepare for Year 6 WA Gifted and Talented Numeracy?
- ✓Treat the time limit as a training tool — practise skipping hard questions and returning to them, which is legitimate test strategy.
- ✓Mix sections so the brain learns to switch modes — the real test cycles between question types rapidly.
- ✓Track which question types your child struggles with; spend extra time there rather than practising strengths.
- ✓Check explanations after every wrong answer, not just the ones your child asks about — patterns in mistakes reveal the concepts that need work.
