Preface
These sheets were written in response to suggestions from teachers. They are aimed
at the pupils who come into year 7 and find the present work difficult. The work covers
levels 2, 3 and part of 4 of the national curriculum and, compared to our other KS3
sheets, have been written with a more open layout, simpler language and easier
questions.

Do not use a calculator

1) Ryan adds together 26 and 15 like this

Call 15 10 + 5

First add the 10 26 + 10 = 36


Then add the 5 36 + 5 = 41

Now do these additions in the same way.


Write down what you do, just like the example.
a) 23 + 14 b) 32 + 16 c) 29 + 17
d) 36 + 18 e) 41 + 23 f) 46 + 23
g) 45 + 22 h) 35 + 36 i) 38 + 43
j) 28 + 25 k) 42 + 18 l) 52 + 26
m) 33 + 32 n) 51 + 27 o) 37 + 24

2) Halla does 35 – 18 like this.

Start at 18 18 to 20 is 2
20 to 30 is 10
30 to 35 is 5
So 18 to 35 is 2 + 10 + 5 = 17
Now do these in the same way.
a) 31 – 18 b) 42 – 19 c) 43 – 22
d) 52 – 16 e) 37 – 21 f) 53 – 26
