What is in this set

The numbers in this set run from 2 to 8.
A careful solution takes 1 written step on average.
The mistake this set invites most often, in 78% of the problems: it was halved as if it were a triangle; a parallelogram is base × height with no halving.
Answers are a whole number.

Drawing 240 problems from this page produced 115 different ones, 48% — so a sheet of 20 will come back to a problem you have seen — there are only so many sensible ones of this kind.

We would put this in front of a grade 6 class. That is our judgement, not a standard, and it is printed here so you can disagree with it. Everything else we put in that year.
