E1. A well understood question by most candidates; however a significant minority mixed
up area and perimeter and some candidates found the area and perimeter of the grid on
which the shaded shape was drawn. Almost all candidates wrote rectangle for the shape
though some candidates did write quadrilateral, square or even kite.

E4. There were many correct answers although some gave quite imaginative answers
such as ‘rollergram’ in (i). ‘Pyramid’ was a popular incorrect response in (ii).
