To subtract 19 from a number, first subtract 20, then add 1
2. 38 + 11 + 3 – 4 = ?
[ ] 44
[ ] 46
[x] 48
[ ] 50
To add 11, first add 10 then add 1
3. 27 + 8 – 5 = ?
[x] 30
[ ] 35
[ ] 40
[ ] 38
27 + (8 - 5 = 3) = 30
4. 15 – 9 = ?
[ ] 7
[ ] 4
[ ] 5
[x] 6
15 - 9 = (10) + (5 - 9) = 10 - 4 = 6
5. 11 + 11 + 11 = ?
[ ] 31
[ ] 32

This one is simple if you know your 11 times table!
6. 16 + 8 – 3 = ?
[ ] 18
[x] 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
[x] 28
13 + 20 – 7 + 2 = (10 + 20) + (3 + 2 - 7) = 30 + (5 - 7) = 30 - 2 = 28
8. 9 + 17 – 6 + 4 = ?
[x] 24
[ ] 26
[ ] 36
[ ] 34
9 + 17 – 6 + 4 = (10) + (9 + 7 + 4) - 6 = 10 + 20 - 6 = 24
9. 3 + 5 + 7 + 8 + 2 = ?
[ ] 24
[x] 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
[x] 20
[ ] 21
1 + 3 + 13 – 0 + 3 = (10) + (3 + 3 + 3 + 1) = 20. Remember, zeros are worth nothing in addition and subtraction!
