Added: 2026-05-11

[00:00:00]Hey everyone, welcome back to the channel.

[00:00:05]Today we are doing a full walk-through of the Cambridge Primary Checkpoint Math Paper 1.

[00:00:10]Uh done in 2026, March.

[00:00:14]I'll go through every single question, explain how to get the answer, and share tips along the way.

[00:00:19]Make sure you've attempted the paper yourself first, then come back and check your workings.

[00:00:24]Let's get into it.

[00:00:26]So, the first question we have 0.4 * 3.

[00:00:29]So, this one is the same as 4 over 10 multiplied by 3 over 1.

[00:00:33]And this becomes 12 over 10.

[00:00:35]So, what is 12 over 10? It's the same as 1.2.

[00:00:38]Another way you can just 4 * 3 is 12, then return back there decimal point, which is 1.2.

[00:00:46]The second question we can use the Mr. DL.

[00:00:50]So, when you're multiplying, uh the the decimal moves to the to the right, or you can say the numbers move to the left.

[00:01:03]Okay, the decimal moves to the right, then the numbers move to the left.

[00:01:06]So, this becomes 1 2, this becomes 32.

[00:01:11]75 uh 32 75.6, and this one the decimal goes to the left.

[00:01:20]The numbers goes to the right. So, one time this becomes 29.12.

[00:01:27]Number three, we are counting on in steps of eights. So, we are just adding.

[00:01:32]So, 2.2 + 0.8, this is three.

[00:01:38]Number four, we're multiplying a whole number with a a fraction. So, this is 15 over 1 multiplied by 2 over 5.

[00:01:45]This becomes 30 over 5.

[00:01:47]And 30 over 5 is the same as 30 divided by 5, which is 6.

[00:01:53]Number five, we want to draw a circle with radius of 4 cm. Just make sure your radius is 4 cm and draw a perfect circle.

[00:02:03]So, number Number six, you're told Yuri has 108 pages.

[00:02:09]If per day per day he reads four pages what about 108 pages?

[00:02:19]So, for 108 pages is 108 / 4.

[00:02:24]So, four two becomes a 10.

[00:02:29]Bring down the eight.

[00:02:31]Uh so, it 10 minus uh eight becomes a two. Four goes to any eight seven times. This becomes 28.

[00:02:40]And the answer is 27.

[00:02:43]So, plotting the coordinates 2 10 and 5 10, we have 2 10 and 5 10.

[00:02:51]So, this one will be this coordinate.

[00:02:55]Number eight, 5/4 of 20. So, if five we want to find five quarters of 20.

[00:03:00]So, 1/4 of 20 that's a five.

[00:03:04]So, five quarters of 20 that will be 25.

[00:03:09]So, another way, we just do five multiplied by a quarter.

[00:03:17]We do uh a quarter of 20.

[00:03:20]So, a quarter of 20 is five. 5 * 5 is 25.

[00:03:25]Number nine, we are reflecting. This is the mirror line. Points of the mirror line do not move. So, we can count this.

[00:03:32]It's one. The distance from the mirror line to the point it's one. So, you go one.

[00:03:37]And here, distance from this go one, two. So, here you also go one, two. So, this comes here.

[00:03:49]So, make Make you use a ruler.

[00:03:51]Number 10, we are told to write a single digit. So, the digits must be from 1 to 9 such that you get the smallest answer. So, when we are dividing and we want to get the smallest answer, we divide with the biggest number. So, the biggest number will be nine.

[00:04:07]As the single digit or a one digit.

[00:04:10]So, number 10.

[00:04:13]This uh Lilly sort these numbers as multiples of three and not multiples of three. Draw a ring all the numbers that are divisible by six. So, for a number to be divisible by six, it must be even and also must be a multiple of three.

[00:04:29]As you can see, these are not multiples of three. So, these can't be answers.

[00:04:33]So, for These are multiples of three, but this has is even and this is even.

[00:04:37]So, those are two. So, for a number which is divisible by four, if you want to know that a number is divisible by four, we check the last two digits number. So, if you have 324, this is number This number is divisible by four. If you have 496, this number is divisible by four. If you have 312, this number is divisible by four.

[00:04:59]Why? Because the last two digits is a multiple of four.

[00:05:04]Number 12, we have the frequency, how many times the poetry appears.

[00:05:08]Four, 10, 12, 14. As you can see, 14 is the biggest. So, in terms of proportion, this is 14 over 40. This is 12 over 40.

[00:05:18]10 over 40 and four over 40.

[00:05:20]So, the bigger The one with the biggest percentage, it will be 14 over 40.

[00:05:25]So, that's uh the crime.

[00:05:29]Then, we have the second last is travel.

[00:05:33]Uh this is the bigger bigger one. And then, we have the fantasy.

[00:05:39]And lastly, poetry.

[00:05:43]So, number 13, Jamila has a list to make one loaf of bread. So, for one loaf of bread, you need these ingredients.

[00:05:50]Calculate the total mass of ingredients Jamila needs to make one loaf of bread.

[00:05:54]So, the total should be 550 + 7 + 9 + 325.

[00:06:01]And uh 325 + 550 that's 8 uh 75 875 + 9 + 7 that's 891.

[00:06:13]Write the mass of salt that Jamila needs to make six loaves of bread. So, for six loaves of bread if one loaf of bread it needs 9 g, so for six of them to be 9 * 6 which is 54.

[00:06:27]The answer is 54. Don't forget to write your answer on this part. Calculate 20 - 2 * 1 * 3. So, for multiplication comes first. Uh for brackets, we can use BODMAS.

[00:06:42]So, for the brackets, it is 2 + 1 which is 3.

[00:06:46]For the multiplication, which is 3 * 3, which is 9.

[00:06:50]For the subtraction, we have 20 20 - 9 which is 11.

[00:06:57]Number 15 Chen writes uh computer program to display one of these numbers on the screen.

[00:07:04]1 2 3 4. Chen runs the program 100 times.

[00:07:08]And the frequency tables uh shows the number of times the program displays.

[00:07:15]So, oh sorry, 1,000 times.

[00:07:18]So, for one, it appears 12 times.

[00:07:22]So uh so, we can say this is 12 over 1,000.

[00:07:27]And uh for two, 497 this 388.

[00:07:31]So, we are told Chen says the probability that my program displays an odd number is the same as the one shows in the even. As you can see, these are the odd and these ones are the even.

[00:07:47]So, how many odds are there? We have 12 plus 88, which are 100 times.

[00:07:54]And how many evens are there? It is 403 plus 497, which is 900.

[00:08:03]So, what is the best explanation? We can say odd numbers appeared 100 times.

[00:08:11]Odd appeared appeared 100 times.

[00:08:20]Even appeared 900 times.

[00:08:28]So, they're not equal.

[00:08:31]So, they are not equal.

[00:08:34]Question number 16.

[00:08:36]>> [snorts] >> Write the coordinate of a point that is more than twice It is more than twice.

[00:08:41]You're not told it is twice the twice the distance away from the x-axis.

[00:08:47]So, let's give it a sketch.

[00:08:49]So, this is Let's say this is four and here it's six.

[00:08:53]Uh so, the coordinate is here, 4 6.

[00:08:56]So, the distance here here till here it's almost six. So, we want twice, which would be 12, and more than twice it can be 13 and above. So, the answer here can be 4 13, can be 1 13.

[00:09:10]Okay? Then this. So, 1 13. So, this will be more than twice from the x-axis.

[00:09:19]Question number 17. Draw a ring all around the calculation 504.

[00:09:24]Uh this one give me the right answer.

[00:09:27]And this one no, 4 * 5 is 20 plus This is 120. This is 540.

[00:09:34]And this one becomes 504. This one 400 plus 50 450.

[00:09:40]This becomes 250 * 2 500 plus 4 504. So, this is the answer two. So, these two are the answers.

[00:09:48]Iko adds two different prime numbers.

[00:09:50]Iko repeats with a different pair of numbers.

[00:09:53]Iko says, "My answer will never be a prime number." Is it true?

[00:09:57]So, let's list some of the prime numbers we know.

[00:10:00]Uh 2 3 5 7. So, if we add 2 plus 3, we get a 5. Or if you add 5 plus 2, we get a 7. So, adding two prime numbers can all may might also give us a a prime number. Number 19, a bag contains five yellow, one pink, white. Write the probability that Mia picks a ball that is not white. A ball that is not white is either pink or yellow.

[00:10:31]So, how many yellows and pink? The total is six.

[00:10:35]Out of 10. So, in terms of percentage is 60.

[00:10:39]So, here are some calculations. You put either one of these symbols to make the smallest answer.

[00:10:46]So, if you put uh addition and minus here, this will become 7 minus 4, which is 3.

[00:10:52]If we put here multiplication and minus here, this will be uh 6 minus 4, which is 2. So, it will answer was 6 minus multiplication and minus.

[00:11:03]Calculate the area of the triangle. So, area equals to length times width.

[00:11:08]We have 6247 * 16.

[00:11:11]So, the best I like doing this way 6247 * 10.

[00:11:16]This will be 62470.

[00:11:19]And 6247 * 6.

[00:11:22]What is 6247 * 6?

[00:11:27]Uh this will become Mhm. That This is two carry four.

[00:11:34]This will become eight.

[00:11:38]Then four.

[00:11:40]Uh then seven and then we have a three.

[00:11:44]So, 374 82. So, if you add these two numbers, we get 99 952.

[00:11:54]So, if you have bigger numbers you want to multiply, you can multiply this by 10, then multiply this by six.

[00:12:00]It becomes easier.

[00:12:02]Here are some triangles ABC. We have a right angle triangle. We have a scalene.

[00:12:07]We have an equilateral.

[00:12:10]We have a an isosceles. So, write the letter of each triangle in the correct place.

[00:12:16]So, as you can see, uh has an obtuse angle. This one has an obtuse angle. Yes.

[00:12:24]Does it have a line of symmetry? This is a scalene, so this will go here, D. For C, it's a right angle triangle. Does it have a an obtuse? Uh does it have a line of symmetry? No.

[00:12:37]So, we're done with this. So, for B, it's an equilateral. It has three lines of symmetry.

[00:12:42]And uh it has an It does Does it have no?

[00:12:48]Doesn't have an obtuse angle. For A, it has It is an isosceles. Only have one.

[00:12:54]But yes, it has one uh It has It has a an obtuse angle.

[00:13:01]And it's also have a what?

[00:13:03]A one line of symmetry. So, it can A can be here.

[00:13:10]So, for for number 23, we have a fraction, uh 3 over 5 and 3 over a number. So, all of them the numerators are the same. So, if you want to get a bigger number, you divide with the smallest number. So, if we have a half and a third, a half, this ones are equal, so 1 / 2 is bigger than 1 / 3. So, the number here we can put 3 / 4, 3 / 2, or 3 / 1. But, as long as you write a whole number to make this statement correct.

[00:13:45]So, when you're dividing the same number with a bigger number, it becomes the smallest.

[00:13:51]So, when it's dividing the smaller the same number with the smallest to one number, you get the biggest.

[00:13:59]We have fractions simplifying.

[00:14:01]We need to divide We need to divide this 6 over 20 by the highest common factor. Divide by 6, divide by 6, this becomes 1 over 5.

[00:14:16]And this becomes uh when you're simplifying mixed fraction.

[00:14:23]Okay, so when you're uh we are simplifying mixed fractions, we simplify the fractional part.

[00:14:30]So, divide by 4, divide by 4, this becomes 8 1 over 4.

[00:14:35]So, number 25, subtraction of decimals. So, make sure you arrange it uh the correct place value. So, this becomes 35.08.

[00:14:51]So, minus this put a zero here. 10 0 - 8, you have to borrow, becomes a zero, this becomes a 10. 10 - 8 is 2. 0 - 0 0.

[00:15:02]2 - 5, borrow here becomes a 9, here becomes a 6.

[00:15:06]This 7 9 - 3 6. 6 - 0 6. So, answer is 667.02.

[00:15:12]Eva divides a number 877 by 7, the answer has a remainder of 2. So, if a number you're dividing a number by another number, and you a remainder. It means this number exceeded or it had an extra two so for it to be perfectly divisible by seven.

[00:15:32]So, if we can remove the two from 877, we'll get 875.

[00:15:39]875 it is divisible by what? By seven.

[00:15:43]So, you have to write the smallest number that's uh that greater than 877 that is divisible by seven. So, the next number you can add a seven here and this becomes uh 882.

[00:15:56]So, if we divide 13 divided by two and the answer is six remainder one.

[00:16:03]This is six remainder one. So, how can we make this number divisible perfectly divisible by by 13? So, it's by removing the one. So, 13 minus one becomes a 12.

[00:16:14]So, 12 is a number which is divisible by by two.

[00:16:18]So, number 27, we have trans- we are told to describe the translation. So, let's pick one of the points, this one and this one.

[00:16:27]Uh this you can also choose this one and this one.

[00:16:30]Please just choose the uh coordinates which will give you a whole number. So, if you move here 1 2 3 4, so four squares to the right and this comes here 1 2 2 down.

[00:16:45]Number 28, we have a right angle triangle. So, how do you find the area of a triangle? Area of a triangle equals to the base times height divided by two.

[00:16:57]So, most students did 10 multiplied by six, which is very wrong. This is not the base or height. So, if you want to know the base and the heights, they always touch this right angle or they are the shortest sides. So, the shortest side is eight multiplied by six divided by two. We need to remind ourselves on the area of a trapezium. Area of a trapezium, we simply add the two sides then uh the parallel add the parallel then multiply by the height then divide by two. So, always for the triangle, you multiply the the height the shorter sides then divide by two.

[00:17:41]Even collects the ages of the of all his children to plus he wants to plot this using a scatter graph. So, remember a a scatter graph it deals with a numericals.

[00:17:54]So, you have we count on scatter graphs needs numerical data. So, for scatter graphs always needs numerical data or number data on both axis. So, here we have the name of the books can never be the name of each child, no. Favorite color of each child, no. But, the heights can solve the scatter graph. So, for scatter graphs always we have numericals on both sides.

[00:18:26]So, number 14, we have Draw a ring around each calculation that will give a denominator of 14. So, this we use KCF. Keep, change, and flip. So, this is 2/1. This becomes 1/28 * 1/2 and the answer 1/56.

[00:18:42]So, this one becomes 1/14 * 1/1 is there 1/14. So, this one can't be the answer.

[00:18:50]And this one becomes 1/2 * 1/7 and 1/14.

[00:18:54]So, this is the answer. This one becomes 1/7 * 1/7. This is 1/49. Can never be the answer. 1/40 * 1/10.

[00:19:04]This will give a denominator which is greater than 14. So, the answer is this and this. You're told to round to draw a ring. Please, when you're told to draw a ring, please draw a ring and not tick or uh give any other instruction.

[00:19:22]Number 31, we have to subtract. So, we have 9/10 - 7/8.

[00:19:27]So, we make sure we have a common denominator. The common multiple of 10 and 8, we can make them as 40.

[00:19:34]We can also make them as 80. Let's choose the smallest one. So, this is * 5 * 5. This is * 4 * 4. And this becomes 36 - 40 / 40.

[00:19:45]Uh so, 36 - 35 / 40.

[00:19:49]This becomes 1/40.

[00:19:52]So, let's move on number 32. Safia uses blue paint to make green. So, the ratio of blue to yellow is 2:3.

[00:20:03]Safia uses blue 30 blue ml. So, what we can do is finding the equivalent fractions. So, * 15 * 15.

[00:20:13]And the answer becomes 45.

[00:20:15]So, another way you can say two parts of the blue equals to 30.

[00:20:20]What about one part? So, one part becomes 15.

[00:20:23]So, for the yellow, we have three parts.

[00:20:25]So, 3 * 15 that's 45.

[00:20:30]Number 33, we are adding this. Uh check which one is equivalent. So, this one will be 37.86.

[00:20:37]So, if we start with this, this will be 37.086.

[00:20:41]This one will be 37.806.

[00:20:44]Nope.

[00:20:45]And this one will be 37.86. Yes. And this one will be 37.

[00:20:50]0806.

[00:20:52]Nope.

[00:20:53]So, number 34, angles on a straight line add up to 180.

[00:20:57]So, 180 - 160 becomes a 20. And angles in a triangle add up to 180.

[00:21:06]So, 40 + 20 + m should add up to 180. So, 180 - 60 that's 120.

[00:21:17]So, another way you can also say that exterior angle is the same as these two angles opposite interior angle. So, 180 160 - 40 is 120.

[00:21:27]It is 120.

[00:21:30]Number 35, you are told to draw a right angle triangle such that the third point c must start with the two.

[00:21:42]So, if you put two one, it's not to be a perfect right angle triangle, but two two can serve to be a good right angle triangle.

[00:21:54]So, two three will not so.

[00:22:00]So, this does the last question.

[00:22:03]And and this does every question done. And how did you get on?

[00:22:08]Let me know your score in the comments.

[00:22:11]I'd love to hear how you found the paper.

[00:22:14]If this helped you, give the video a thumbs up and subscribe so you don't miss the paper two walk through coming very soon. Good luck with your checkpoint exams. You've got this. See you in the next one.

[00:22:26]Bye-bye.
