Instructions: Use columnar methods where helpful, keeping each place-value column lined up. Estimate first when asked, then check calculations with the inverse operation. For the word problems, decide which operations are needed and show enough working to explain your answer.

Column Addition

Set out each addition vertically, lining up the ones, tens, hundreds and thousands. Exchange where needed. Write each answer in the box.

1. 2,468 + 1,357 =

2. 3,706 + 2,185 =

3. 4,829 + 2,764 =

4. 1,958 + 3,476 =

5. 5,307 + 2,896 =

Column Subtraction

Set out each subtraction vertically, keeping the place-value columns aligned. Exchange where needed, then write the difference in the box.

1. 6,243 − 2,817 =

2. 8,000 − 3,456 =

3. 7,315 − 2,968 =

4. 5,602 − 1,784 =

5. 9,104 − 4,375 =

Estimate, Calculate and Check

For each question, first round both numbers to the nearest 100 to make an estimate. Then calculate the exact answer using a written method. Check your exact answer with the inverse operation; write the estimate and exact answer in the boxes.

1. 2,746 + 1,583

Estimate (nearest 100): Exact answer:

2. 6,321 − 2,478

Estimate (nearest 100): Exact answer:

3. 3,895 + 2,607

Estimate (nearest 100): Exact answer:

4. 7,204 − 3,659

Estimate (nearest 100): Exact answer:

Use the Inverse to Find the Missing Number

Use the relationship between addition and subtraction to find each missing number. Check each answer by putting it back into the original calculation.

1. 2,735 + □ = 6,000

Missing number:

2. □ + 1,864 = 5,230

Missing number:

3. 7,412 − □ = 3,285

Missing number:

4. □ − 2,568 = 4,317

Missing number:

Two-Step Problems

Read each problem carefully and decide which operations to use. Show your two steps in the answer box, then write the final answer with its unit or context.

1. A library had 2,475 books. It bought 1,268 more books, then gave 936 books to another school. How many books does the library have now?

2. A charity walk has a route of 3,250 metres. Sam walked 1,485 metres before lunch and 1,276 metres after lunch. How many metres does Sam still need to walk?

3. A theatre sold 1,846 tickets on Friday and 2,375 tickets on Saturday. It had 5,000 tickets available altogether. How many tickets were left unsold?

4. A school collected £2,350 for a fair. It spent £875 on supplies and then raised another £640. How much money did it have after these changes?
