Primary 1 Maths: Addition and Subtraction within 20 and 100 — Practice Paper 3 (10 Questions)

Paper 3 does not repeat the earlier items: the pairs that complete ten and make-ten in both directions come first, then a column carry and a column borrow on new numbers, a three-number sum, a missing addend, and change after two purchases. Item 10 redoes the ones-digit lined up under the tens.

Quick answer 10 questions, about 20 minutes. Items 01 to 03 are number pairs for ten and make-ten, items 04 to 07 are a column carry, a column borrow, a three-number sum and a missing addend, items 08 and 09 are change and comparing two sums, and item 10 redoes the misplaced ones digit.

03 Answers and one-line notes

# Answer One-line note
1 4 and 2 Six needs 4 to reach ten and eight needs 2; these pairs should come out without counting.
2 13 8 needs 2 to reach 10, so take 2 from the 5: 8 + 2 = 10, and the 3 left over gives 10 + 3 = 13.
3 8 Take 7 off 17 to reach 10, then the other 2: 10 − 2 = 8, and 8 + 9 = 17 checks it.
4 84 Ones: 8 + 6 = 14, write 4 and carry 1. Tens: 3 + 4 + 1 = 8, so 84.
5 25 Ones: 2 cannot take 7, so borrow to make 12 − 7 = 5. Tens: 5 loses 1 and becomes 4, 4 − 2 = 2, so 25.
6 80 25 + 37 = 62 and adding 18 gives 80; grouping 37 + 18 = 55 first gives 25 + 55 = 80, so the order does not matter.
7 26 Work backwards: 72 − 46 = 26, then check 26 + 46 = 72.
8 $38 Spend first: 35 + 27 = 62, then 100 − 62 = 38, and 38 + 62 = 100 checks it.
9 The same — both give 85 47 + 38 = 85 and 52 + 33 = 85, so the sums are equal: one addend is 5 bigger while the other is 5 smaller, and the total stays the same.
10 53 The 8 is a ones digit and belongs under the 5: 5 + 8 = 13, write 3 and carry 1; the tens give 4 + 1 = 5, so the answer is 53, not 125.

04 What to do after marking

  • After marking, redo only the wrong items and write down which step went wrong (formula, unit, or misread number).
  • Repeat the same item two days later; move to the next paper only when both attempts are correct.
  • Parents only need the answer and note columns; there is no need to explain every item.
