Why is estimation useful in maths?

Estimation helps you check if an answer is reasonable. It saves time and is especially helpful when doing mental maths or checking large calculations.

What are some tips for faster addition and subtraction?

Look for patterns, group numbers that make tens, and use rounding to simplify steps before adjusting the final total.

How can addition and subtraction help with fractions?

They form the foundation for adding or subtracting fractions with the same or different denominators, which is essential in higher-level maths.

926 + 220 - 403 = ?

743

703

783

683

With numbers less than 1,000, add the hundreds first, then the tens and then the ones.
926 + 220 - 403 = (900 + 200 - 400) + (20 + 20 - 0) + (6 + 0 - 3) = (700) + (40) + (3) = 743
You can ignore the zeros

2 .

690 + 426 - 888 = ?

218

228

238

248

A quick way to add 690 is to add 700 then subtract 10.
Here’s the other way to solve the problem, by adding the hundreds first, then the tens and then the ones:
690 + 426 - 888 = (600 + 400 - 800) + (90 + 20 - 80) + (0 + 6 - 8) = 200 + 30 + -2 = 228

3 .

600 + 300 + 400 - 678 = ?

626

624

622

620

600 + 400 = 1,000. Keep your eyes peeled, looking for ways to break the problem up into smaller sums

4 .

894 - 183 - 500 + 17 = ?

208

216

211

228

Remember, 100s first, then 10s, then ones:
894 - 183 - 500 + 17 = (800 - 500 - 100) + (90 + 10 - 80 - 0) + (4 + 7 - 3 - 0) = 200 + 20 + 8 = 228

5 .

53 - 467 + 643 = ?

229

228

227

226

To avoid working with negative numbers, you can rearrange the problem:
53 - 467 + 643 = (53 + 643) - 467 = 696 - 467 = 229

6 .

620 + 123 - 83 = ?

663

660

657

654

In multiple choice questions, the last digit in the answers can help you find the correct answer more quickly. 0 + 3 - 3 = 0 so you know the correct answer will end with a zero. Be on the LOOKOUT FOR SHORT CUTS like this

7 .

420 - 403 - 100 + 349 = ?

246

256

266

276

Always look out for shortcuts: the 400s in 420 – 403 cancel each other out, making the answer the same as 20 - 3

8 .

751 + 226 - 805 = ?

162

177

172

Remember: in multiple choice quizzes, the last digit in a number can show you the right answer. 1 + 6 - 5 = 2, so the last digit in the correct answer will also be a 2

9 .

353 - 28 + 11 + 27 = ?

362

363

364

365

It's a good idea to add the hundreds first, then the tens and finally the ones:
353 - 28 + 11 + 27 = (300) + (50 + 10 + 20 - 20) + (3 + 1 + 7 - 8) = 300 + 60 + 3 = 363

10 .

909 + 76 - 654 - 13 = ?

318

320

322

324

TIP: With numbers less than 1,000, add the hundreds first, then the tens and then the ones.
909 + 76 - 654 - 13 = (900 - 600) + (0 + 70 - 50 - 10) + (9 + 6 - 4 - 3) = 300 + 10 + 8 = 318
You can repeat the procedure if you are having difficulty in doing it in your head
