We look at a curious case from r/askmath where a parent has come asking why their child received no points on a Year 8 core math paper even though their answer and reasoning were correct. We'll take a close look at the instructions, discuss the grading, and see what the student could have done to earn full credit - and why they maybe should have earned fullish credit anyways. #maths #mathematics #askreddit
