Fascinating Fact:

The River Thames is as long as running about 7,000 laps of a school playground.

In 11 Plus Maths, mastering addition and subtraction helps with bigger maths challenges. Pupils learn to calculate efficiently, spot number patterns, and check their work carefully.

  • Equation: A maths statement that shows two things are equal using the = symbol.
  • Estimate: A quick, sensible guess close to the exact answer.
  • Calculation: The process of working out an answer in maths.
Why is subtraction important in maths?

Subtraction helps you find what is left, compare quantities, and solve problems in everyday life like working out change or distances.

What is an example of an addition equation?

An example is 25 + 15 = 40, which shows two numbers added together to make a total.

Do addition and subtraction appear in 11 Plus tests?

Yes, both are common. Pupils often face questions mixing these skills with number sequences and problem-solving tasks.

1 .
35 – 56 + 78 – 7 = ?
50
51
52
49
TIP: With numbers less than 100, add the tens first and then add the units. 35 – 56 + 78 – 7 = (30 + 70 - 50) + (5 + 8 - 7 - 6) = (100 - 50) + (13 - 7 - 6) = 50 + 0 = 50
2 .
8 + 8 + 8 – 8 = ?
28
16
24
32
That was an example of a question you must read thoroughly - you didn't think all the 8s were to be added did you?
3 .
46 – 18 = ?
26
28
29
27
To quickly subtract 18, just take away 20 then add 2
4 .
37 + 54 + 77 = ?
158
160
166
168
TIP: With numbers less than 100, add the tens first and then add the units. 37 + 54 + 77 = (30 + 50 + 70) + (7 + 4 + 7) = 150 + 18 = 168
5 .
17 + 18 + 44 = ?
76
77
78
79
TIP: With numbers less than 100, add the tens first and then add the units. 17 + 18 + 44 = (10 + 10 + 40) + (7 + 8 + 4) = 60 + 19 = 79
6 .
39 – 53 + 17 = ?
-3
3
6
9
TIP: With numbers less than 100, add the tens first and then add the units. 39 – 53 + 17 = (30 + 10 - 50) + (9 + 7 - 3) = (-10) + 13 = 3
7 .
14 – 34 + 63 = ?
43
42
41
44
TIP: With numbers less than 100, add the tens first and then add the units. 14 – 34 + 63 = (10 + 60 - 30) + (4 + 3 - 4) = 40 + 3 = 43
8 .
4 – 7 + 19 + 31 = ?
43
45
47
49
Be on the lookout for simple calculations that make your life easier! 19 + 31 is one of these
9 .
12 + 19 = ?
31
32
30
29
Remember: to quickly add 19, just add 20 then take away 1
10 .
14 + 0 + 28 + 4 – 0 + 5 = ?
56
41
46
51
TIP: With numbers less than 100, add the tens first and then add the units. 14 + 0 + 28 + 4 – 0 + 5 = (10 + 20) + (4 + 8 + 4 + 5) = 30 + 21 = 51. Ignore zeros!
