Inverse Operations - Worksheet
Maths Resource Description
The "Inverse Operations (Addition and Subtraction) Worksheet" is a comprehensive educational resource designed to help Year 6 students understand and apply the concept of inverse operations in mathematics. The worksheet provides a variety of activities that require students to complete number fact families, check calculations using inverse operations, and find missing numbers in calculations. For example, students are asked to complete a fact family based on the addition of 157 and 441 which equals 598, and then to find the corresponding subtraction equations. They are also tasked with verifying the sum of 2,853 and 309 by using the inverse operation to ensure the result is 3,162.
Further exercises on the worksheet include identifying the inverse addition calculation for a given subtraction, such as finding the inverse of 6,432 minus 1,821, which equals 4,611. Additionally, students use the inverse operation to solve for missing numbers in given equations, such as adding an unknown number to 4,612 to get a total of 8,951. The worksheet also presents real-life scenarios, such as determining how many points Kody won if Jamal won 3,932 points and together they won 7,576 points. The worksheet is designed to reinforce students' understanding of inverse relationships between addition and subtraction, enhancing their problem-solving skills and mathematical fluency.
