They only took a few minutes to mark. The majority were perfect. Few corrections were required, and if time were short, then children with perfect scores were delighted to help others and mark corrections. Those doing well were eager to help others improve. Sample drill tests on loose sheets will be given at the end of this booklet.
Drills are also important.
Drills are activities children might do as a class activity, but probably more often as a individual or group activity. They might be oral, or written. The purpose of a drill activity is for children to attempt to get the correct answer, and if their answer is incorrect, to see or hear the correct answer as soon as possible. In a drill, having the answer given to you is, in a sense, more valuable than getting the correct answer. Long ago my school district made up sturdy cards with about 50 questions on each, all in vertical format.
