Level 8

1. 100 1

6 1 [2]

2. (a) Gives a correct explanation 1

The most common correct explanations:

Show that the values 6, 8 and 10 work using

Pythagoras’ theorem

eg

• 62 + 8

2 = 36 + 64

= 100

= 102

• 102

– 82 = 100 – 64

= 36

= 62

Do not accept: explanation uses only accurate or scale

drawing

Accept : minimally acceptable explanation

eg

• 62 + 8

2 = 10

2

• 36 + 64 = 100

• The square of the longest side is equal

to the sum of the squares of the other

two sides

Do not accept: incomplete explanation

eg

• 62

+ 82

• 36 + 64

Hertfordshire La Schools 2

State or imply that the triangle is an enlargement of a 3, 4, 5

right-angled triangle

eg

• A 3, 4, 5 triangle is right-angled and 3 × 2 = 6, 4 × 2 = 8

and 5 × 2 = 10

• It’s just a 3, 4, 5 triangle with the lengths of the sides doubled

• Because 6, 8 and 10 make a Pythagorean triple

Accept: minimally acceptable explanation

eg

• It’s an enlarged 3, 4, 5 triangle

• 3 × 2 = 6, 4 × 2 = 8 and 5 × 2 = 10

Do not accept: incomplete explanation

eg

It’s like a 3, 4, 5 triangle

(b) Gives a correct justification 1

eg

• 6

9.6 × 8 = 9.2

• 8 × 1.15 = 9.2

• 9.2 ÷ 1.15 = 8

• 6.9 ÷ 9.2 = 4

3

6 ÷ 8 = 4

3

• 6 6.9 is a 15% increase

8 × 0.15 = 1.2

8 + 1.2 = 9.2

• tan–1

6

8 = 53.1...

6.9 × tan 53.1… = 9.2

Do not accept incomplete or incorrect

explanation

eg

It’s 0

60 and that’s impossible

6. (a) Gives a correct explanation that shows the correct application 1

of Pythagoras’ theorem

eg

(52 + 5

2) = (25 + 25)

5 × 5 + 5 × 5 = 50, so y = 50

y2 = 5

2 + 5

2

y2 = 50

y = 50

50

25

y 255

so = 50and = 50

yy

2

It’s an enlargement of a 1, 1, 2 triangle, so

it’s 52 and 52 = 50

Accept minimally acceptable explanation

eg

(52 + 5

2)

52+ 5

2

(25 + 25)

(2 × 25)

2 × 25 = 50 [with no evidence of a

misconception, eg about area]

5 2 = (52 × 2)

! Throughout the question, incorrect notation

or incorrect further working alongside a

correct explanation

Condone

eg, for part (a) accept

y2 = 5

2 + 5

2

y

2 = 50

y2 (error) = 50

5 × 5 + 5 × 5 = 50,

so length is 50 = 7.5 (error)

Hertfordshire La Schools 9

Do not accept incomplete or incorrect explanation

eg

y2 = 50

Use Pythagoras

25 + 25

It’s 2 × 25

5 × 10 = 50 and y = 50

Area = 5 × 5 × 2

= 50

5 × 5 = 25 which is half the square,

so 25 × 2 = 50

(b) Indicates 200 and gives a correct explanation 1

eg

250 = 4 × 50 = 200

The sides would be 10cm

(102 + 10

2) = 200

102 = 100 × 2 = 200

100 is 10, 10 ÷ 2 = 5 but the length of the diagonal of the small

square is >5

100 = 10, but 50 ≠ 5

Accept minimally acceptable explanation

eg

2 50 = 4 × 50

(102 + 10

2)

10 2 + 10

2

10 × 10 = 100, 100 × 2

Do not accept incomplete or incorrect explanation

eg

200 = 2 50

10 2

100 = 10

50 × 2 then × 2 again

Area = 10 × 10 × 2

= 200 [2]

7. Expressions

(a) For 2m indicates a correct simplified expression, eg: 2

18x3

18 (x3)

For 2m do not accept x3 not expressed as a power eg:

‘x × x × x × 18

For only 1m shows a correct simplified expression for the cross-sectional area, eg:

6x2

For 1m, the response need not state that 6x2 relates to the area, but do not accept 6x2 derived from incorrect methods.

or Shows a correct partially simplified expression for the volume, eg:

x × x × x × 18

6x2 × 3x

(8x2 – 2x2) × 3x

3x × (4 x2 + 2 x2)

(4 x2 + 2x × x) 3x

3x (2x × 4x – 2x × x)

4x2 × 3x + 6x2 × x

8x2 × 3x – 2x × x × 3x

Do not accept omission of brackets where required eg:

‘8x2 – 2x2 × 3x’

Do not accept an expression that has no simplification eg:

‘2x × 4x × 3x – 2x × x × 3x’

or Simplifies fully but makes one computational error, eg:

(2x × 2x + 2x × x) 3x = (2x2 + 2x2) 3x = 4x2 × 3x = 12 x3

Do not accept incorrect multiplication by x2 or x as a computational error.

(b) Indicates 90 1

Accept values of 90 multiples of 360, provided 90 is also shown.

Hertfordshire La Schools 11

(c) For 2m indicates 5 2

For only 1m shows a correct value for x3, eg:

x3 = 125

For 1m, accept implied values eg:

‘500/0.5 = 1000, ‚ 8 = 125’

or Makes one computational error then correctly follows through to solve for x, eg:

8x3 × ½ = 500, 8x3 = 250, x3 = 31.25, so x = 3.15

Values of x may be rounded or truncated to 1 or more d.p.

or Uses an incorrect value for sin a then correctly follows through to solve for x, eg:

8x3 × 0.45 = 500, so 8x3 = 1111 x3 = 139 so x = 5.2

Accept an incorrect value for sin a provided 0 < sin a < 1 [5]

8. (a) States a value between 30.50 and 32.00 inclusive, eg: 1

31

Horizontal lines need not be drawn across from the vertical axis at points 10 (or 10.5 or 10.25) and 30 (or 30.5 or 30.75) to meet the cumulative frequency graph.

Ignore any lines drawn to find the median, and other lines drawn, provided it is clear that they do not relate to the interquartile range.

Do not accept a range given eg:

26 to 37

(d) For 2m draws a graph passing through the points (25,0), (30,1), (35,3), (40,6), 2 (45,10), (50,20), (55,27) and (60,30)

For only 1m draws a graph passing through seven of the eight points, eg:

Graph passes through all eight points apart from (25,0)

Graph passes correctly through seven of the eight points but goes through (55,28) instead of (55,27)

The graph may be a curve or a series of straight lines.

Do not accept two or more graphs drawn.

For 1m accept all eight points marked correctly but not all joined.

For 1m accept graph drawn through all eight points consistently 1 square to the left of the correct positions [apart from( 25,0)] ie

Graph passes through (24,0), (29,1), (34,3), etc.

Graph passes through (25,0), (29,1), (34,3), etc.

Ignore additional points marked on the grid through which no graph is drawn.

16. Angle proof

(a) Gives a correct explanation, eg 1

U1

BO and OA are radii, so triangle OBA is isosceles, so ABO = BAO. The same

is true of CO and OB, so BCO = OBC

Both triangles are isosceles because two of their sides are radii of the circle

Hertfordshire La Schools 22

Triangle AOB is isosceles because O is the centre and A and B are on the

circumference, and so is triangle BOC

Accept minimally acceptable explanation, eg

BO and OA are radii, so ABO = BAO. The same is true

of CO and OB

! Explanation correct but only refers to one of ABO or CBO

As the explanations are essentially the same for both angles, condone

Do not accept incomplete explanation that does not explain why

the triangles are isosceles, eg

OC = OB, so OCB = OBC, and the same for ABO

Both triangles are isosceles

(b) Gives a correct proof, eg 1

U1

x + x + y + y = 180

2x + 2y = 180

so x + y = 90 = CBA

Accept minimally acceptable justification, eg

x + x + y + y = 180, so x + y = 90 [4]

18. (a) Indicates False and gives a correct explanation 1

eg

▪ The median was about 44.5

▪ The median is at the 2500th value and when you read the graph down from that

value you can see it is greater than 40

▪ Only 1750 pupils got up to 38 marks and you need 2500 for the median

▪ About 1750 pupils scored 38 or less which is the 35th percentile

▪ Up to 38 is only 1750 pupils and that’s less than half

! Range of values

For the median on paper 1, accept 44 to 45 inclusive

For the position of the median, accept

2500 or 2500.5

For a value corresponding to a mark of 38,

accept 1700 to 1800 inclusive,

or 34% to 36% inclusive

Hertfordshire La Schools 25

Accept: minimally acceptable explanation

eg

• 44 to 45 inclusive seen

• Correct value for the median on paper 1

marked on x-axis

• The 2500th mark is bigger than 38

• 1750 and 2500 seen

• 1750 and 35% seen

Do not accept: incomplete explanation

eg

• The 2500th value is not 38

• 38 is not in the middle of the cumulative

frequency

• 38 is too small to be the median

• Most pupils scored more than 38

(b) Indicates True and gives a correct explanation 1

eg

▪ The LQ is about 33.5

The UQ is about 56.5

56.5 – 33.5 = 23

or

Indicates either True or False and gives evidence that the inter-quartile

range is between 22 and 24 inclusive, excluding 23

eg

▪ The LQ is about 33

The UQ is about 57

57 – 33 = 24

Hertfordshire La Schools 26

! Range of values

For the lower quartile on paper 1, accept 33 to 34 inclusive

For the position of the lower and upper quartiles,

accept 1250 or 1250.25 and 3750 or 3750.75 respectively

Accept: minimally acceptable explanation

eg

• Correct values for the lower and upper quartiles on paper

1 marked on x-axis

• 33 to 34 inclusive and 56 to 57 inclusive seen

• From the 1250th to the 3750th marks is about 23

Do not accept: incomplete explanation

eg

• The lower quartile taken away from the upper quartile

gives 23 [no indication of quartiles on graph]

(c) Indicates False and gives a correct explanation 1

The most common correct explanations: U1

Use values from the graph

eg

▪ The median on paper 1 is 44.5, the median on paper 2 is 51.5, so paper 1 is harder

▪ About 850 pupils got less than 30 marks on paper 1 but only about 250 did on paper

2

▪ About 400 pupils got more than 65 marks on paper 1, but about 600 did on paper 2

Use or interpret the relative positions of the lines

eg

▪ The graph for paper 2 is always lower

▪ The dotted line is always on the right of the other line

▪ The marks on paper 2 were higher

! Range of values

For the median on paper 1, accept 44 to 45 inclusive

For the median on paper 2, accept 51 to 52 inclusive

For any other values on the x-axis, accept the correct

values ± 0.5

For corresponding values on the y-axis, accept the correct

values ± 50

Hertfordshire La Schools 27

Accept: minimally acceptable explanation

eg

• The median on paper 1 is lower than the median

on paper 2

• More people got better marks on paper 2

• The line for paper 1 is higher

Do not accept: incomplete or incorrect explanation

eg

or the exterior angle is 45°

2. For the square, shows or implies that the interior or exterior angle is 90°

3. For the hexagon, shows or implies that the interior angle is 120°, or

the exterior angle is 60°

90 + 45 = 135°

which is 15° too big

135

240

135 + 90 = 225

but it should be 240

whether interior or exterior angles are being considered, or

to which shape the angles belong

For 3m, accept only if there is no redundant information and

the justification is unambiguous

eg, accept

90 + 135 = 225, 360 225 = 135 but the angle in a

hexagon is 120
