Add It, Take It Away!
Year 2 • Ages 6–7 • Intermediate
Instructions: Work through each activity carefully and write your answers in the boxes. Use number facts you know to help with bigger numbers, and check calculations with the inverse operation where you can.
Quick Facts to 20
Solve each addition or subtraction. Try to recall the facts without counting, then check any tricky ones.
1. 8 + 7 =
2. 16 − 9 =
3. 6 + 9 =
4. 14 − 6 =
5. 5 + 8 =
Use a Fact to Help
Use the related fact to work out each answer. For example, if you know 4 + 3 = 7, you can use that fact to help with 40 + 30.
1. 4 + 3 = 7, so 40 + 30 =
2. 9 − 5 = 4, so 90 − 50 =
3. 6 + 8 = 14, so 60 + 80 =
4. 15 − 7 = 8, so 150 − 70 =
Add and Subtract Two-Digit Numbers
Work out each calculation. Think about the tens and ones, and check that your answer makes sense.
1. 34 + 5 =
2. 62 − 8 =
3. 47 + 20 =
4. 85 − 30 =
5. 26 + 31 =
Add Three Numbers in Any Order
Add the three one-digit numbers in each question. You may change the order of the addends to make the calculation easier.
1. 3 + 7 + 4 =
2. 8 + 2 + 5 =
3. 6 + 1 + 9 =
4. 4 + 5 + 3 =
Addition Can Swap; Subtraction Cannot
For each pair, work out both calculations. Decide whether swapping the numbers keeps the answer the same.
1. 6 + 9 = 9 + 6 =
2. 13 − 5 = 5 − 13 =
3. 4 + 8 = 8 + 4 =
4. 15 − 7 = 7 − 15 =
Missing Numbers and Inverse Checks
Fill each missing number. Use addition to check subtraction, or subtraction to check addition.
1. 7 + = 15
2. − 6 = 12
3. 28 + = 35
4. − 20 = 46
