Not a difficult topic as pupils have been adding and subtracting since P1 (or even K1), but pupils still tend to make many mistakes, either due to carelessness, or complacency or plain laziness. In my experience, most pupils do not bother reading carefully to understand the question before they start tackling it. Rather, many choose to add (or subtract) the first 2 numbers they see without thinking!
Many tell me they do not know how to do just from reading the question once, but when I break it down one sentence at a time for them, it seems that they actually do understand and are completely capable of doing the question IF they had put in a little effort.
So kids, please don't give up so easily.

As a teacher for several years, I've come to realise that many pupils have difficulties in Math and yet are unable to get help from their parents (who themselves can't solve the questions! :p) Hence, this site has been set up to help those who really want to help themselves. Worked solutions are provided free of charge :)
