Addition and subtraction

Syllabus: Addition and subtraction up to 3 digits, and mental calculation with a 3-digit number and ones, tens or hundreds.

Use the column method. Check each subtraction by adding back.

Worked example

Work out 603 − 278 with the column method.

  1. 3 ones is less than 8 ones, and there are 0 tens. Rename 1 hundred as 10 tens, then 1 ten as 10 ones. 603 is now 5 hundreds, 9 tens and 13 ones.
  2. Ones: 13 − 8 = 5. Tens: 9 − 7 = 2. Hundreds: 5 − 2 = 3.
  3. Check by adding back: 325 + 278 = 603.

Answer: 603 − 278 = 325

Worked example

Ann has 245 stamps. Ben has 128 more stamps than Ann. How many stamps does Ben have?

Bar model
Ann245
Ben245128 more
Total? stamps
  1. Draw a bar for Ann. Draw Ben's bar the same length, then add a part for the 128 more.
  2. Ben's bar is Ann's bar and the extra part, so add: 245 + 128.
  3. Ones: 5 + 8 = 13, write 3 and rename 1 ten. Tens: 4 + 2 + 1 = 7. Hundreds: 2 + 1 = 3.

How Primary 2 Maths is assessed in school

  • Primary 1 and 2 have no weighted assessments and no exams. MOE removed them from 2019, so no test at these levels counts towards an overall mark or grade.
  • Teachers still use short class assessments to check what each child understands. Schools report learning at these levels with descriptions in words, not marks.
  • Weighted assessments start in Primary 3, with no more than one per subject in each school term. There are no mid-year exams at any primary level. MOE removed them by 2023.
  • So these worksheets are practice, not a test. Use them to find gaps early, while nothing is being graded.

What schools test, and when

  • Primary 2 has no exams, but most schools give short class tests or reviews each term. TSS's free papers library has 36 real Primary 2 Maths tests, reviews and revision sheets from 12 schools, with answers.

  • The terms come from papers that name one (Rosyth's four term reviews and St Hilda's Term 2 and Term 4 assessments). Schools set their own order, so check the school's term letter or ask the teacher.
  • Use the matching worksheet in the week before a class test, then try one real paper on the same topics.
  • Each paper page has the question paper and its answer key, free to download.

All Primary 1 and 2 Maths school papers

If your child finds Maths hard

  • Signs to watch: mixing up adding and subtracting in word problems, forgetting to rename in the column method, or not knowing the 2, 5 and 10 times tables.
  • Draw a bar model for every word problem. It shows whether to add, subtract, multiply or divide.
  • Check subtraction by adding back. If the answer and the smaller number do not make the bigger number, try again.
  • Talk to your child's Maths teacher early. MOE's Learning Support for Mathematics (LSM) gives extra lessons in small groups, led by trained teachers, from Primary 1 to Primary 4. Children are identified at the start of Primary 1, and others can join in Primary 2, 3 or 4 if needed.

Primary 2 Maths tuition

Before Primary 3

  • Primary 3 Maths adds the tables of 6, 7, 8 and 9, division with remainder, numbers up to 10 000, equivalent fractions, the 24-hour clock, angles, and area and perimeter.
  • Over the school holidays, revise the 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10 times tables and the column method, then try the Primary 3 numbers worksheet.

Questions students ask

What does Primary 2 Maths cover in Singapore?

The MOE 2021 Primary Mathematics syllabus lists numbers up to 1000, addition and subtraction up to 3 digits, the multiplication tables of 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10, fractions, money in decimal notation, length, mass and volume, time to the minute, 3D shapes and picture graphs with scales for Primary 2.

Which times tables does a Primary 2 child learn?

The tables of 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10, with the matching division facts and the ÷ sign. The tables of 6, 7, 8 and 9 come in Primary 3.

What fractions are in Primary 2 Maths?

P2 pupils learn a fraction as part of a whole, compare and order unit fractions and like fractions, and add and subtract like fractions within one whole. The denominators are 12 or less. Equivalent fractions and simplest form come in Primary 3.

What time skills are in Primary 2 Maths?

Telling the time to the minute, measuring time in hours and minutes, and changing hours and minutes to minutes and back. Finding a start time, end time or duration, and the 24-hour clock, come in Primary 3.

Are these worksheets from MOE or a school?

No. They are The Singapore Syllabus's own practice questions, written to match the topics MOE lists for Primary 2. They are not school papers and MOE did not issue them.

Are there exams in Primary 2?

No. MOE removed all weighted assessments and exams for Primary 1 and 2 from 2019. Teachers still check understanding with short class assessments, which do not count towards a mark or grade.

What is a bar model?

A bar model is a drawing of bars that shows the parts and the whole in a word problem, or how two amounts compare. It helps a child decide whether to add, subtract, multiply or divide. The addition and subtraction worksheet has a worked bar model example.

How should my child use these worksheets?

Do one topic at a time, after the school has taught it. Mark with the answer key, ask your child to explain each wrong answer out loud, and redo it a few days later. The PDF is free, with no sign-up.

Where can my child practise with real P2 school papers?

The parents' notes on this page list real Primary 2 class tests by term, from schools such as Rosyth, St Hilda's, ACS (Junior) and Henry Park, with links. TSS's free Primary 1 and 2 Maths papers page has 36 Primary 2 tests, reviews and revision sheets, each with its answer key.

When is each Primary 2 Maths topic taught?

Schools set their own order. In the real P2 class tests on TSS that name a term, Term 1 covers numbers to 1000 with adding and subtracting, Term 2 the times tables and division, Term 3 length, mass and money, and Term 4 fractions, time, volume and shapes.
