This task is a reading comprehension and drawing activity, not a math problem involving geometry or formulas.
The passage describes Sally and asks 10 questions about her (name, age, abilities, appearance, possessions), plus a drawing/coloring task.
Let’s solve step by step using only the text:
1. What’s her name?
→ “This is Sally.” →
Sally
2. How old is she?
→ “She’s seven years old.” →
7
3. Can she play football?
→ “She can play football.” →
Yes
4. Can she sing?
→ “She can’t sing.” →
No
5. Is she short?
→ “She’s tall and thin.” → So she is
not short →
No
6. Is she fat?
→ “She’s tall and thin.” → So she is
not fat →
No
7. Has she got black hair?
→ “She’s got long black hair.” →
Yes
8. Has she got short hair?
→ “She’s got long black hair.” → So
No
9. Has she got five pens?
→ “She’s got a red pen, too.” (Earlier: “She’s got four green pens.”)
So: 4 green + 1 red =
5 pens →
Yes
10. Is her ball blue?
→ “Her favourite toy is a ball. It’s purple.” → So
No, it’s purple.
11. Draw and colour her toys:
→ Toys mentioned:
- A ball (purple)
- A bike (no color given — student may choose, but likely just draw a bike)
- Four green pens + one red pen (so 5 pens total)
→ Student should draw these and color accordingly.
Now verify all answers match the text exactly — no assumptions beyond what’s written.
