  1. Find (i) 8+28 + 2 (ii) 7−17 - 1.
    1 mark
    Answer and solution

    (i) Start at 88 and count on 22: 8+2=108 + 2 = 10

    (ii) Count back 11 from 77: 7−1=67 - 1 = 6

    Answer: (i) 1010 (ii) 66

  2. Fill in the box and find the sum: 4+7=10+□4 + 7 = 10 + \square.
    2 marks
    Answer and solution

    77 needs 33 to make 1010; take 33 from 44, which leaves 11.

    4+7=10+1=114 + 7 = 10 + 1 = 11

    Answer: □=1\square = 1; 4+7=114 + 7 = 11

  3. Find the number in the box: 2+□=92 + \square = 9.
    1 mark
    Answer and solution

    □=9−2=7\square = 9 - 2 = 7

    Check: 2+7=92 + 7 = 9

    Answer: 77

  4. Find (i) 20−220 - 2 (ii) 60−260 - 2.
    2 marks
    Answer and solution

    (i) 20=10+1020 = 10 + 10 and 10−2=810 - 2 = 8, so 20−2=10+8=1820 - 2 = 10 + 8 = 18

    (ii) 60=50+1060 = 50 + 10 and 10−2=810 - 2 = 8, so 60−2=50+8=5860 - 2 = 50 + 8 = 58

    Answer: (i) 1818 (ii) 5858

  5. Find 88−788 - 7.
    1 mark
    Answer and solution

    Take 77 from the units digit: 8−7=18 - 7 = 1; the tens digit 88 stays.

    88−7=8188 - 7 = 81

    Answer: 8181

  6. Find 11−211 - 2 by the 1st and 2nd methods.
    2 marks
    Answer and solution

    1st method: take 11 out of 22 first (2−1=12 - 1 = 1): 11−2=10−1=911 - 2 = 10 - 1 = 9

    2nd method: add 88 to both: 11−2=19−10=911 - 2 = 19 - 10 = 9

    Both methods give 11−2=911 - 2 = 9

    Answer: 99

  7. Find 87−987 - 9 by three methods.
    3 marks
    Answer and solution

    1st method: take 77 out of 99 first (9−7=29 - 7 = 2): 87−9=80−2=7887 - 9 = 80 - 2 = 78

    2nd method: add 11 to both: 87−9=88−10=7887 - 9 = 88 - 10 = 78

    3rd method: 87−10=7787 - 10 = 77 and 10−9=110 - 9 = 1, so 87−9=77+1=7887 - 9 = 77 + 1 = 78

    All three methods give 87−9=7887 - 9 = 78

    Answer: 7878

  8. Find 80−5080 - 50.
    1 mark
    Answer and solution

    88 tens −- 55 tens == 33 tens

    80−50=3080 - 50 = 30

    Answer: 3030

  9. Find 41−1641 - 16 by four methods.
    5 marks
    Answer and solution

    1st method (take the tens first): 41−16=31−6=30−5=2541 - 16 = 31 - 6 = 30 - 5 = 25

    2nd method: add 44 to both: 41−16=45−20=2541 - 16 = 45 - 20 = 25

    3rd method: 41−20=2141 - 20 = 21 and 20−16=420 - 16 = 4, so 41−16=21+4=2541 - 16 = 21 + 4 = 25

    4th method (column): 1<61 < 6, so borrow 11 ten: units 11−6=511 - 6 = 5, tens 3−1=23 - 1 = 2

    All four methods give 41−16=2541 - 16 = 25

    Answer: 2525

  10. Find (i) 410−6410 - 6 (ii) 386−11386 - 11.
    2 marks
    Answer and solution

    (i) 410=400+10410 = 400 + 10 and 10−6=410 - 6 = 4, so 410−6=400+4=404410 - 6 = 400 + 4 = 404

    (ii) units 6−1=56 - 1 = 5, tens 8−1=78 - 1 = 7, hundreds 33 stays: 386−11=375386 - 11 = 375

    Answer: (i) 404404 (ii) 375375

  11. Find 192−25192 - 25 by four methods.
    5 marks
    Answer and solution

    1st method (take the tens first): 192−25=172−5=170−3=167192 - 25 = 172 - 5 = 170 - 3 = 167

    2nd method: add 55 to both: 192−25=197−30=167192 - 25 = 197 - 30 = 167

    3rd method: 192−30=162192 - 30 = 162 and 30−25=530 - 25 = 5, so 192−25=162+5=167192 - 25 = 162 + 5 = 167

    4th method (column): 2<52 < 5, so borrow 11 ten: units 12−5=712 - 5 = 7, tens 8−2=68 - 2 = 6, hundreds 11

    All four methods give 192−25=167192 - 25 = 167

    Answer: 167167

  12. Find 100−67100 - 67.
    2 marks
    Answer and solution

    Take away the tens first: 100−60=40100 - 60 = 40

    100−67=40−7=33100 - 67 = 40 - 7 = 33

    Answer: 3333

  13. Find 144−78144 - 78 by three methods.
    5 marks
    Answer and solution

    1st method (column): units 4<84 < 8, borrow 11 ten: 14−8=614 - 8 = 6

    tens: 3<73 < 7, borrow from the hundred: 13−7=613 - 7 = 6, hundreds 00

    2nd method: take 44 from both: 144−78=140−74144 - 78 = 140 - 74

    take 4040 from both: =100−34=66= 100 - 34 = 66

    3rd method: 144−100=44144 - 100 = 44 and 100−78=22100 - 78 = 22, so 144−78=44+22=66144 - 78 = 44 + 22 = 66

    All three methods give 144−78=66144 - 78 = 66

    Answer: 6666

    2 marks
    Answer and solution

    Tens: 60+60=12060 + 60 = 120

    Units: 3+5=83 + 5 = 8

    63+65=120+8=12863 + 65 = 120 + 8 = 128

    Answer: 128128

  16. Find 2200÷82200 \div 8 by long division.
    3 marks
    Answer and solution

    22÷822 \div 8: 8×2=168 \times 2 = 16, 22−16=622 - 16 = 6

    Bring down 00, we have 6060: 8×7=568 \times 7 = 56, 60−56=460 - 56 = 4

    Bring down 00, we have 4040: 8×5=408 \times 5 = 40, 40−40=040 - 40 = 0

    Remainder 00, so 2200÷8=2752200 \div 8 = 275

    Answer: 275275

    Bring down 33, we have 33: 2×1=22 \times 1 = 2, 3−2=13 - 2 = 1

    Bring down 77, we have 1717: 2×8=162 \times 8 = 16, 17−16=117 - 16 = 1

    Bring down 11, we have 1111: 2×5=102 \times 5 = 10, 11−10=111 - 10 = 1

    Bring down 00, we have 1010: 2×5=102 \times 5 = 10, 10−10=010 - 10 = 0

    Bring down 77, we have 77: 2×3=62 \times 3 = 6, 7−6=17 - 6 = 1

    Bring down 88, we have 1818: 2×9=182 \times 9 = 18, 18−18=018 - 18 = 0

    Remainder 00, so 2371078÷2=11855392371078 \div 2 = 1185539

    Answer: 11855391185539

  18. Find 3219÷33219 \div 3 by long division.
    3 marks
    Answer and solution

    3÷33 \div 3: 3×1=33 \times 1 = 3, 3−3=03 - 3 = 0

    Bring down 22, we have 22: 2<32 < 3, so write 00 in the quotient

    Bring down 11, we have 2121: 3×7=213 \times 7 = 21, 21−21=021 - 21 = 0

    Bring down 99, we have 99: 3×3=93 \times 3 = 9, 9−9=09 - 9 = 0

    Remainder 00, so 3219÷3=10733219 \div 3 = 1073

    Do not miss the 00 in the quotient.

    Answer: 10731073

  19. Find 5244÷125244 \div 12 by long division.
