8 + 4 = 12 2 −1=1 7 + 16 = 23

20 − 15 = 5 10 + 10 = 20 44 − 15 = 29

1 + 9 = 10 10 −3=7 7 + 18 = 25

Block 2 Find the difference between the numbers

10 − 2 =8 11 + 8 = 19 24 − 11 = 13

4+ 13 = 17 30 − 25 =5 14 + 7 = 21

25 − 5 = 20 9+ 18 = 27 20 − 3 = 17

9+ 17 = 26 11 − 6 =5 23 + 5 = 28

Use a variety of strategies including use of approximations and knowledge
of odd and even numbers and multiples. You do not have to work out the
answers if you can justify your decision without doing so. If a statement is false,
one counter-example is sufficient to show that it is false.
False
It should be 72 ÷ 6 = 12 or 72 ÷ 12 = 6.
If 6 × 12 = 72, then 12 ÷ 6 = 72
Multiplication is commutative
but division is not.

If you divide any whole number by an False

even number, the answer will be even Counter example: 20 ÷ 4 = 5, and 5 is odd.

True
If 8 × 5 = 40, then 40 ÷ 5 = 8 If 8 × 5 = 40, then 40 ÷ 5 = 8 and 40 ÷ 8 = 5
are true.

When you put 18 pens into two equal True

groups there are 9 pens in each group 18 ÷ 2 = 9

False
36 ÷ 5 = 7 There is a remainder of 1.
All multiples of 5 end in either 0 or 5.

To halve a number, you False

divide by 4 To find half of a quantity you divide by 2.

False
5×4=4×5
Multiplication is commutative but division
so 5 ÷ 4 = 4 ÷ 5
is not.
