Here we have 2 free maths worksheets of a slightly different nature. The total for the answer is given and it is the two numbers to make the answer which are needed. Each problem asks for two solutions. Obviously there are several options using whole numbers to make a total such as 13. Some children will go for the easy option and choose 12 + 1, whilst others will go for harder sums such as 7 + 6.
An interesting progression to this is to ask for all the possible combinations of making 13 and see if children can organise these in a logical order.
