1. In a survey 198 households had no internet and 453 did. How many households were in the survey?b 100 + 400 = 500
                         90   +   50 = 140
                             8  +     3 = 11
       500 + 140 + 11 = 651
2. There were 524 students at St Martins school. 288 walked to school and the rest walked. How many drove? 524 - 288 = 364
                                          500 - 200 = 300
                                             24 - 88 =  64
                                           300 - 64 = 364
3. Sam was 1.4m in January 2011 and was 2.1m in December 2013. How much did he grow over the two years?  1.4 + .7 = 2.1

My Math Strategies



5. There is a boxing match tonight. Boxer A is more experienced than Boxer B. Boxer A has had 469 matches whereas Boxer B has only had 243. How many more matches has Boxer A had than Boxer B?

                                400 - 200 = 200
                                 60 -   40 = 20
                                   9 -    3 = 6

                        200 + 20 + 6 = 226
