Maths Quiz - Addition and Subtraction (Year 3) (Questions)

No doubt you have heard people talk about "hundreds", "thousands" and "millions" and the video will help you understand just how big these numbers are!

In Year 3, which is the first year in KS2 Maths, you'll learn cool tricks for adding and taking away numbers in Math. It'll make you super confident when you see plus or minus symbols.

Addition is when you put numbers together, like 10 girls + 7 boys = 17 friends at your party! And if you have 20 prizes, you'll have 3 extra because 20 - 17 = 3. See, you just did an addition and subtraction problem! It's helpful in real life too.

1. Add 8, 9 and 4.
[ ] 17
[ ] 20
[x] 21
[ ] 25
A good strategy would be 8 + 10 - 1 = 17
17 + 3 = 20 plus 1 left over = 21
2. What is the sum of 14 and 8?
[ ] 18
[ ] 20
[ ] 21
[x] 22
14 + 10 = 24
24 - 2 = 22
3. 17 take away 8.
[x] 9
[ ] 10
[ ] 11
[ ] 12
17 - 10 = 7
7 + 2 = 9
4. 75 subtract 40.
[ ] 30
[x] 35
[ ] 40
[ ] 45
7 - 4 = 3 so 70 - 40 = 30
30 + 5 = 35
5. Which is the missing number: 7 + __ = 20?
[ ] 10
[ ] 12
[x] 13
[ ] 14
One way to work this out is to take 7 away from 20 which will give you the answer 13
6. What is 78 + 56?
[x] 134
[ ] 138
[ ] 124
[ ] 128
It might help to add the tens first and then the ones

[x] Double 45 add 1
[ ] Add the tens first and then the ones
[ ] Count on from 45
[ ] Add the ones first and then the tens
45 x 2 = 90
90 + 1 = 91

e.g. 35 + 9 so 35 + 10 = 45 then 45 - 1 = 44
9. Which will not total 100?
[ ] 65 + 35
[ ] 55 + 45
[x] 75 + 35
[ ] 85 + 15
