1.Oliver travels 425 km in 5 hours. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 85 km/h
- time = 5 h

Marking tips
- Give credit for correct method even when the final answer slips — the working shows where the thinking went right.
- For open-ended tasks, use the success criteria as a checklist rather than looking for one "right" answer.
- Celebrate what went well first, then pick one thing to work on next.
