Let's solve this step-by-step, working through each section of the worksheet.

---

Section A: Complete the calculations



We'll perform column addition with regrouping (carrying) where needed.

---

1) 461 + 328

```
4 6 1
+ 3 2 8
-------
```

- Ones column: 1 + 8 = 9 → write 9
- Tens column: 6 + 2 = 8 → write 8

Answer: 789

---

2) 435 + 516

```
4 3 5
+ 5 1 6
-------
```

- Ones: 5 + 6 = 11 → write 1, carry 1
- Tens: 3 + 1 = 4, plus carry 1 = 5 → write 5
- Hundreds: 4 + 5 = 9 → write 9

Answer: 951

4) 96 + 547

Align right:
```
9 6
+ 5 4 7
-------
```

```
0 9 6
+ 5 4 7
--------
```

- Ones: 6 + 7 = 13 → write 3, carry 1
- Tens: 9 + 4 = 13, plus carry 1 = 14 → write 4, carry 1
- Hundreds: 0 + 5 = 5, plus carry 1 = 6 → write 6

Answer: 643

Section B: Write as column addition and calculate



We’ll write each sum in column form and add them, showing regrouping if needed.

---

1) 802 + 189

```
8 0 2
+ 1 8 9
-------
```

- Ones: 2 + 9 = 11 → write 1, carry 1
- Tens: 0 + 8 = 8, plus carry 1 = 9 → write 9
- Hundreds: 8 + 1 = 9 → write 9

Answer: 991

2) 141 + 86

```
1 4 1
+ 8 6
-------
```

```
1 4 1

Answer: 227

---

3) 227 + 85

```
2 2 7
+ 8 5
-------
```

- Ones: 7 + 5 = 12 → write 2, carry 1
- Tens: 2 + 8 = 10, plus carry 1 = 11 → write 1, carry 1
- Hundreds: 2 + 0 = 2, plus carry 1 = 3 → write 3

Answer: 312

---

4) Three hundred and eighteen plus ninety-six

Convert to numbers:
- 318 + 96

```
3 1 8
+ 9 6
-------
```

- Ones: 8 + 6 = 14 → write 4, carry 1
- Tens: 1 + 9 = 10, plus carry 1 = 11 → write 1, carry 1
- Hundreds: 3 + 0 = 3, plus carry 1 = 4 → write 4

Answer: 414

5) 632 + 85 + 245

Add step by step:

First: 632 + 85

```
6 3 2
+ 8 5
-------
7 1 7
```

Now: 717 + 245

```
7 1 7
+ 2 4 5
-------
```

- Ones: 7 + 5 = 12 → write 2, carry 1
- Tens: 1 + 4 = 5, plus carry 1 = 6 → write 6
- Hundreds: 7 + 2 = 9 → write 9

Answer: 962

6) 29 + 6 + 195

Add step by step:

First: 29 + 6 = 35

Then: 35 + 195

```
3 5
+ 1 9 5
-------
```

```
0 3 5
+ 1 9 5
-------
```

- Ones: 5 + 5 = 10 → write 0, carry 1
- Tens: 3 + 9 = 12, plus carry 1 = 13 → write 3, carry 1
- Hundreds: 0 + 1 = 1, plus carry 1 = 2 → write 2

Answer: 230

7) Five hundred and forty-four add four hundred and seven

Numbers: 544 + 407

```
5 4 4
+ 4 0 7
-------
```

- Ones: 4 + 7 = 11 → write 1, carry 1
- Tens: 4 + 0 = 4, plus carry 1 = 5 → write 5

Section C: Spot and explain the mistakes



---

1)

```
657
+ 309
-----
956
```

Let’s check:

- Ones: 7 + 9 = 16 → write 6, carry 1
- Tens: 5 + 0 = 5, plus carry 1 = 6 → write 6
- Hundreds: 6 + 3 = 9 → write 9

So correct answer should be 966, not 956.

Mistake: The tens column was added incorrectly. They wrote 5 instead of 6.

Explanation: When adding 7 + 9 = 16, they carried 1 to the tens place. Then 5 + 0 + 1 = 6, but they wrote 5 instead of 6. So the answer is wrong.

---

2)

```
83
+ 427
-----
1257
```

This is clearly wrong because:

- 83 + 427 should be around 500, not 1257.

Let’s do it properly:

```
83
+ 427
-----
```

Align:
```
0 8 3
+ 4 2 7
-------
```

- Ones: 3 + 7 = 10 → write 0, carry 1
- Tens: 8 + 2 = 10, plus carry 1 = 11 → write 1, carry 1
- Hundreds: 0 + 4 = 4, plus carry 1 = 5 → write 5

Correct answer: 510

Mistake: Numbers were misaligned or added incorrectly. Likely they added 83 + 427 as if it were 83 + 4270 or made a mistake in alignment.

Explanation: The hundreds digit was incorrectly calculated. The sum of 83 + 427 is only 510, not 1257. This error may have come from adding digits in the wrong columns or misreading the problem.

---

Section C Answers:



1)
- Mistake: Incorrect tens digit.
- Correct calculation: 657 + 309 = 966
- Error: Failed to add the carried 1 to the tens column.

2)
- Mistake: Wrong total — 1257 is way too large.
- Correct calculation: 83 + 427 = 510
- Error: Misalignment or incorrect carrying. Possibly added 83 + 427 as if both were 3-digit numbers without proper alignment.
