Addition and Subtraction - Worksheet

The provided worksheets are designed to strengthen students' fluency in addition and subtraction through a series of problems. The first worksheet presents a series of calculations that require the students to add or subtract large numbers, including a practical scenario involving the monthly earnings of a football captain and his teammate. The worksheet also includes a critical thinking question where students must determine the correct answer to a subtraction problem between two given solutions and identify the mistake made. Additionally, there are exercises where students must fill in missing digits to complete addition and subtraction calculations, and a real-world application problem that asks students to calculate the declining bee population over a three-year period.

The second worksheet focuses on reasoning and problem-solving skills in addition and subtraction. Students are challenged to write numbers that are slightly less than multi-million figures, find missing numbers in a sequence, and determine the length of a ribbon cut into pieces. They must also verify the correctness of subtraction calculations and calculate the number of pumpkins remaining in UK supermarkets after deliveries and sales. Furthermore, the worksheet includes a comparison of river lengths and a question about the total number of differently coloured beads in a box, requiring students to perform multi-step calculations to find the answer. Solutions are provided for all problems to ensure students can check the accuracy of their answers.
