Addition Practice

Solve each addition puzzle to help prepare the hub’s weekend deliveries. Show your working where asked. For money, give answers in pounds and pence.

Quick calculations

Use mental strategies where you can.

1.The hub packs 368 tins on Friday and 457 tins on Saturday. How many tins are packed altogether?

2.A delivery contains 2,795 packets of pasta and 1,608 packets of rice. Work out the total number of packets. Show your column addition.

3.Which calculation has a total of 1,000? Choose one.

625 + 375
620 + 370
650 + 340
725 + 285

4.The volunteers collected £18.75 from one stall and £26.40 from another. How much did they collect altogether?

Plan and solve

Read each situation carefully and choose a useful addition strategy.

5.A food van travels 3.65 km to the hub, then 4.8 km to its next stop. What is the total distance? Give your answer in kilometres.

6.The hub has 12.5 kg of potatoes and receives another 8.75 kg. How many kilograms does it have now?

7.A volunteer estimates that 3,482 + 2,761 is about 6,000 by rounding each number to the nearest thousand. Is the estimate reasonable? Calculate the exact total and explain briefly.

8.A tally board shows 1,248 meals prepared in the morning and 976 prepared in the afternoon. Find the total. Then check your answer by adding in a different order or using an inverse subtraction.

9.A shop donates 1,875 cans each week for four weeks. What is the total donation? Use repeated addition or another clear method.

10.Find the missing number: 2,486 + □ = 5,000. Show how you worked it out.

11.A delivery has 6 crates with 245 apples in each crate and 378 pears. How many pieces of fruit are there altogether? Show the multiplication or repeated addition needed before adding.
