Year 5 addition: missing digits
Here is a set of pages which at first glance may appear very easy, but in fact can be quite tricky. A 3-digit addition sum has been set out using the standard written method and the answer is also given. But, there are two digits missing and the task is to find the missing digits.
This is harder than it looks because on each sum there is an adjustment where tens or hundreds are 'carried forward'.
These pages should only be given to children who have had plenty of practice using the standard, or efficient, method of written addition. if children complete them correctly it will show that they have a good understanding of the process.
This set of worksheets can be found in the Year 5 Addition category.
