ANSWER KEY & EXPLANATIONS

Answer Key & Explanations

Question Correct
Explanation
Number Answer

The question asks for the length of a pencil that measures 15 cm. The
1 B) other options do not represent the correct measurement, as they
either exceed or do not meet the actual length.

In this question, students are required to identify the longest object

from a set of measurements. The correct answer is 30 cm, which is
2 A)
longer than the other options provided, reinforcing the concept of
comparing lengths.

This question tests the understanding of addition in the context of

length. When adding 12 cm and 8 cm, students should arrive at 20

I
3 C)
A
cm, thereby demonstrating their ability to perform basic arithmetic
operations with physical measurements.
LS

The question focuses on subtraction. A string measuring 25 cm and

being cut down to 10 cm requires students to calculate the remaining
4 D)
length. The correct answer is 15 cm, encouraging practical
application of subtraction in real-life scenarios.
TE

Students are asked to identify the unit of measurement for length.

5 B) The correct answer is 'centimeter' (cm), which is a standard unit used
IN

in Nigeria and worldwide, promoting familiarity with metric units.

This question evaluates students' understanding of length

comparisons. The correct answer is 50 cm, which is the longest
6 A)
among the presented options, reinforcing their ability to visually
estimate and compare lengths.

The task involves measuring a piece of rope. Students must

recognize that if a rope measures 40 cm and is folded in half, it now
7 C)
measures 20 cm. This encourages practical understanding of halving
lengths.

 The question tests the concept of cumulative length. If two sticks
8 D) measure 10 cm and 15 cm respectively, their total length when
combined is 25 cm, reinforcing addition skills in a tangible context.

This question challenges students to think critically about real-world

9 B) applications of length. The correct answer is 'ruler', which is
commonly used in Nigerian schools for measuring lengths accurately.

The final question requires students to understand the concept of

measuring objects in different units. Here, recognizing that 1 meter
10 A)
equals 100 centimeters helps solidify their knowledge of unit
conversion.

Summary of Learning Points

Measurement Units: It is essential for students to recognize and use appropriate units
such as centimeters and meters in their studies.

I
Comparison Skills: Students should be encouraged to compare lengths effectively,
identifying longer and shorter objects accurately.
A
Arithmetic Operations: Mastery of addition and subtraction in the context of
LS

measuring lengths is crucial for developing foundational math skills.

Real-Life Applications: Connecting measurement concepts to everyday objects, such

as pencils or ropes, enhances understanding and retention.
TE

This answer key serves not only as a solution guide but also as a resource for teachers to

facilitate discussions on measurement concepts in Nigerian contexts, such as using local

IN

items for practical demonstrations. Understanding these principles will prepare students for

more advanced mathematical concepts in future grades.
