Max Maths, Year 6, Work Book, Addition of 2- and 3-digit numbers (2)

In the "Max Maths Year 6 Workbook", students are presented with practice word problems that involve addition of 2- and 3-digit numbers. One of the problems involves comparing the petrol usage of two cars. The first car uses 5.66 litres of petrol per hour, while the second car uses 6.32 litres per hour. Students are asked to calculate how much more petrol the second car uses compared to the first. This requires them to perform a simple subtraction to find the difference in petrol usage between the two cars.

Another problem set focuses on the practical application of addition with measurements. Students are given the thicknesses of three planks of wood, which are 1.67 cm, 1.82 cm, and 1.92 cm. They must first find the total combined thickness of the planks once glued together by adding the individual thicknesses. Following this, the problem asks them to account for Ahmad planing off 0.08 cm from the total thickness, which involves another subtraction. Additionally, students must calculate the difference in height between the shortest and tallest trees, given their heights as 1.87 m, 2.6 m, and 3.91 m. They are also tasked with finding the total height of all three trees by summing their individual heights. These exercises are designed to enhance the pupils' numerical fluency and their ability to apply mathematical operations in real-world contexts.
