Section A: Simple Addition and Subtraction
[10 marks total]
1. 7
[1 mark]
Explanation: Start with 3, then count on 4 more: 4, 5, 6, 7. Or use your fingers: hold up 3 fingers, then hold up 4 more, count all fingers showing.
2. 4
[1 mark]
Explanation: Start with 9, count backwards 5: 8, 7, 6, 5, 4. Or think: "What number plus 5 makes 9?" Since , then .
3. 13
[1 mark]
Explanation: Use the "make 10" strategy. can be split as . Or count on 7 from 6: 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13.
4. 4
[1 mark]
Explanation: Start with 12, count backwards 8: 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4. Or use number bonds: since , then .
5. 19
[1 mark]
Explanation: Add the ones: 5 ones + 4 ones = 9 ones. The tens stay the same: 1 ten. So .
6. 14
[1 mark]
Explanation: Start with 20, count backwards 6: 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14. Or break it down: , but that's too much, so .
7. 17
[1 mark]
Explanation: Use "make 10" strategy. . Or , so (one less).
8. 8
[1 mark]
Explanation: Use "make 10" strategy for subtraction. . Or think: , so .
9. 28
[1 mark]
Explanation: Add the ones: 3 ones + 5 ones = 8 ones. The tens stay the same: 2 tens. So .
10. 24
[1 mark]
Explanation: Break 31 into 20 and 11. Then , and . Or count backwards from 31: 30, 29, 28, 27, 26, 25, 24 (7 steps).
Section B: Number Bonds and Making Tens
[10 marks total]
11. 2
[1 mark]
Explanation: Number bonds of 10: two numbers that add up to 10. Think "What goes with 8 to make 10?" Count on from 8: 9, 10. That's 2 more. So .
12. 9
[1 mark]
Explanation: Think "What number plus 6 equals 15?" or reverse the addition: . Check: ✓
13. 8
[1 mark]
Explanation: Think "What number taken away from 14 leaves 6?" or "What plus 6 equals 14?" Since , then .
14. 16
[1 mark]
Explanation: Reverse the subtraction: what number minus 9 equals 7? This means . Check: ✓
15. The missing number is 8
[2 marks]
Explanation: In a number bond, the top number (whole) equals the sum of the two bottom numbers (parts). So part = whole − other part.
Step 1: Identify the whole (17) and one part (9) Step 2: Missing part = Step 3: (using make 10: , then )
Common mistake: Writing 8 in the circle but not showing understanding of the number bond relationship.
Marking: 1 mark for correct answer, 1 mark for showing number bond understanding
16. 7 5 12
There are 12 stars altogether.
[2 marks]
Explanation: Count the stars in each group from the image. First group has 7 stars, second group has 5 stars. "Altogether" means we add.

Use "make 10":
17.
(a) 7 boxes are filled
(b) 3 boxes are empty
(c) 7 3 (or )
[2 marks]
Explanation: A 10-frame always has 10 boxes total. Count the filled (shaded) boxes: 7. The empty boxes are the rest: . The addition sentence shows both parts make the whole: .
Section C: Word Problems
[10 marks total]
18. Mei Ling has 8 stickers left.
[3 marks]
Working:
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Understand the problem. Mei Ling starts with 14 stickers. "Gives away" means we subtract — she has fewer stickers now.
Step 2: Identify the numbers. Start: 14 stickers. Given away: 6 stickers.
Step 3: Choose the operation. "Gives away" → subtraction.
Step 4: Calculate:
Method: Make 10: , then . So .
Step 5: Answer the question. Mei Ling has 8 stickers left.
Marking breakdown:
- 1 mark: Correct operation identified (subtraction) or correct setup
- 1 mark: Correct working shown
- 1 mark: Correct final answer with units
Common mistake: Adding instead of subtracting (). Watch for "gives away," "left," "remaining" — these mean subtraction.
19. There are 17 balloons altogether.
[3 marks]
Working:
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Understand the problem. We have two groups of balloons. "Altogether" means we need to find the total — we add.
Step 2: Identify the numbers. Red balloons: 8. Blue balloons: 9.
Step 3: Choose the operation. "Altogether" → addition.
Step 4: Calculate:
Method: Make 10: . Or , so .
Step 5: Answer the question. There are 17 balloons altogether.
Marking breakdown:
- 1 mark: Correct operation identified (addition) or correct setup
- 1 mark: Correct working shown
- 1 mark: Correct final answer with units
Common mistake: Subtracting instead of adding. Watch for "altogether," "total," "in all" — these mean addition.
20. Raju has 8 more marbles than Kai Wen.
[4 marks]
Working:
Or:
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Understand the problem. We need to compare two amounts. "How many more" means we find the difference — we subtract the smaller number from the larger number.
Step 2: Identify the numbers. Raju: 25 marbles (more). Kai Wen: 17 marbles (fewer).
Step 3: Choose the operation. "How many more" → subtraction (larger − smaller).
Step 4: Calculate:
Method: Break it down. , then . Or: . Or: add up from 17: , , so .
Step 5: Answer the question. Raju has 8 more marbles than Kai Wen.
Marking breakdown:
- 1 mark: Correct understanding (find the difference / "how many more")
- 1 mark: Correct numbers chosen (25 − 17, not 25 + 17)
- 1 mark: Correct working with valid method shown
- 1 mark: Correct final answer with correct wording ("more marbles")
Common mistakes:
- Adding instead: — this would be the total if they combined marbles
- Getting confused with "more than" wording — remember "how many more" always means subtraction of the two numbers
