Hint

Your answer will have four digits.

Hint

If you use column addition, don’t forget the carry.

Hint

If you divide any number by one, it doesn’t change it.

Hint

Instead of taking away 9, you may find it easier to take away 10 first and then add one back.

Hint

The answer box is on the left, but don’t let that bother you because it makes no difference to how you solve the addition.

Hint

95 is only 5 away from 100. You may already know what 100 divided by 5 is. 95 divided by 5 is one less than that.

Hint

You can solve this using column addition. But here’s another way. 89,994 is only 6 away from 90,000. Can you add 90,000 + 7,643 and then subtract 6? You might find that easier, or you might not!

Hint

The answer box is on the left, but don’t let that bother you because it makes no difference to how you solve the subtraction.

Hint

96 is only 4 away from 100. You may already know what 100 divided by 4 is. 96 divided by 4 is one less than that.

Hint

Don’t try and work this out in your head. Jot your working down on paper, as there will be less chance of making a mistake.

Hint

From times tables, do you know the answer to 7 x 8? Then you can easily work out 70 x 8. And then it’s a small step to find 71 x 8.

Hint

Do you know 5 x 7 from your times tables? Then can you work out 50 x 7? And then 50 x 70?

Hint

Perhaps start by working out 10 x 412.

Hint

These numbers do not have the same number of digits after the decimal point. Be extra careful when adding them up. It might help you to write 6.12 as 6.120

Hint

You can tackle this using any method of division you know.
But look. The figure in the units column is a 6.
6 ÷ 3 = 2.  This means that the answer must end in a 2.

Hint

When adding up, don’t get into a mess with your columns. Make sure the decimal points line up. It make help you to write 15.98 as 15.980

Hint

When subtracting, make sure the decimal points line up. 72.3 might be better written down as 72.30, so both numbers you’re working with have the same number of digits after the decimal point.

Hint

It may easier to treat 11,999 as 12,000 – then correct the answer by adding 1.

Hint

3² = 3 x 3

Hint

When you multiply a number by 10, all the digits move one decimal place to the left. And when you divide a number by 10, the digits move one place to the right.

Hint

If you’re doing column subtraction, you’ll need to write 4 as 4.00

Hint

How well do you know your 12 times table? 10 x 12 = 120, 11 x 12 = ??

Hint

Show your method on a separate sheet of paper. If you make a mistake, you could still get one mark if your method is correct.

Hint

Four bananas plus five bananas = how many  bananas?
And likewise, four sevenths plus five sevenths = how many sevenths?

Hint

A percentage is a fraction of 100. Example: 30% as a fraction is 30/100. 30% as a decimal is 0.3. First, write the percentage as a fraction or a decimal, then multiply by the quantity, which is 1,800 in this case. Do NOT include the % symbol in your answer.

Hint

If you don’t like multiplying numbers with decimal fractions, you could try this: 15 x 61. The answer will be ten times bigger than than 15 x 6.1, so divide your answer by 10. Or you could try splitting the multiplication up into two parts. Do 15 x 6 and then do 15 x 0.1. (That’s the same as 15 ÷ 10). Then add up the two parts.

Hint

You can’t add or subtract things that are different, so convert 3/10 into twentieths.

Your answer can be expressed as a fraction, for example 5/7 or as a decimal equivalent, for example 0.75

Hint

Show your method on a separate sheet of paper. If you make a mistake, you could still get one mark if your method is correct.

Hint

A percentage is a fraction of 100. Example: 30% as a fraction is 30/100. 30% as a decimal is 0.3. First, write the percentage as a fraction or a decimal, then multiply by the quantity, which is 440 in this case. Do NOT include the % symbol in your answer.

Hint

Show your method on a separate sheet of paper. If you make a mistake, you could still get one mark if your method is correct.

Hint

Fifths and tenths can’t be added directly, so convert everything to tenths. Give your answer as a fraction

For example 13/10

Or as a whole number plus a fraction, for example 1 3/10

Or if you prefer, your answer can be an exact decimal, for example 1.3

Hint

Show your method on a separate sheet of paper. If you make a mistake, you could still get one mark if your method is correct.

Hint

3 bananas divided between three monkeys = 1 banana.

3 fifths ÷ 3 = ?

Express your answer as a fraction, for example 3/4 or as an exact decimal equivalent, e.g. 0.75

Hint

Use any method you like for this, but here’s a shortcut.

2/5 is the same as 4/10. So the question becomes ‘what is 4 x 14?’, because 140 ÷ 10 = 14.

Hint

You need a common denominator (a denominator is the number at the bottom of a fraction). You can always find one by multiplying the denominators together. In this question you have denominators 3 and 4. Multiplied together gives 12. So work out the subtraction by first converting all the numbers into twelfths.  Remember, 1 = 12/12

Hint

Which should you deal with first, the – or the ÷ ?

If your answer to the question is 2, start again!
