Fascinating Fact:

If maths were a game, addition would be the level up and subtraction would be the boss battle.

In 11 Plus Maths, pupils learn to add and subtract quickly and accurately. These are essential skills for solving everyday problems and preparing for trickier maths challenges like algebra and fractions.

  • Addition: Combining two or more numbers to find their total.
  • Subtraction: Taking one number away from another to find the difference.
  • Equation: A mathematical statement that shows two things are equal, often using addition or subtraction.
What is the difference between addition and subtraction?

Addition combines numbers to make a larger total, while subtraction finds how much is left or the difference between numbers.

Why do we need to learn addition and subtraction?

These are core skills used in daily life, such as shopping, telling time, and solving more complex maths problems later on.

Do 11 Plus exams include addition and subtraction?

Yes, most 11 Plus Maths papers include questions that test quick mental addition and subtraction as part of arithmetic skills.

To add 11, first add 10 then add 1
3 .
27 + 8 – 5 = ?

27 + (8 - 5 = 3) = 30
4 .
15 – 9 = ?
7
4
5

15 - 9 = (10) + (5 - 9) = 10 - 4 = 6
5 .
11 + 11 + 11 = ?

This one is simple if you know your 11 times table!
6 .
16 + 8 – 3 = ?
18
21
24
27
TIP: With numbers less than 100, add the tens first and then add the units. 16 + 8 - 3 = (10) + (6 + 8 - 3) = 10 + (14 - 3) = 10 + 11 = 21
7 .
13 + 20 – 7 + 2 = ?
24
26
30
28
13 + 20 – 7 + 2 = (10 + 20) + (3 + 2 - 7) = 30 + (5 - 7) = 30 - 2 = 28
8 .
9 + 17 – 6 + 4 = ?
24
26
36
34
9 + 17 – 6 + 4 = (10) + (9 + 7 + 4) - 6 = 10 + 20 - 6 = 24
9 .
3 + 5 + 7 + 8 + 2 = ?
24
25
23
22
3 + 5 + 7 + 8 + 2 = (3 + 7) + (2 + 8) + 5 = 25. Try to group your numbers in lots of ten
10 .
1 + 3 + 13 – 0 + 3 = ?
18
19
20
21
1 + 3 + 13 – 0 + 3 = (10) + (3 + 3 + 3 + 1) = 20. Remember, zeros are worth nothing in addition and subtraction!
