This is the MoYES official Grade 6 English book taught in schools across the land. I can spot 4 mistakes. Can you?

Does the clock on the wall in the picture count as one?

Seriously, that's pretty bad. I'd be super confused as a student, and I wonder how a teach could try to explain that.

Yes. 1 down.

She has a bath before she gets up.

Also, I think ACE had the contract to write the English textbooks/curriculum...

2 down.

[Miguelito]

Nita is a Hebrew name (or Indian), not commonly found in English speaking countries, and she doesn't look Jewish or Indian in the picture.

3 down?

[Hot_Pink_Urinal_Mint]

Student's Book is wrong. Possessives vs. Attributive Nouns.

Edited to add - the example answer is wrong. She has breakfast at 6 am according to the clock not 6.30.

[Alexandra]

she doesn't look Jewish

Math, help with lunch and dinner

Math, help with lunch and dinner

3, 4

There's still a number 5 (not including my bad joke about her name).

[Alexandra]

She eats lunch twice.

[kansaicanuck]

She obviously ditches the last 15 minutes of Science class to go out for a quick smoke break before starting her Math class.

Does "Maths" count as one or two mistakes?

[ផោមក្លិនស្អុយ]

I know it’s maybe not technically wrong but ‘quarter to’ in stead of ‘a quarter to’ sounds clumsy and unnatural.

Would you rather that they used ‘Math’?
I used ‘Maths’ all the way through my school career - the subject was never called Mathematics.
