This is suppose to be for my Nephews KS2 math homework, I can't get my head around it and I think I have been overcomplicating things or if the teacher has not explained the question enough. I fail to see how this is a puzzle but any help will be great thanks :)

Chances are you are overthinking it.

there seems to be no rules for the combinations so here are some others I might suggest:
ONE+FIVE=SIX
SIX+TWO=EIGHT

et cetera

It is simply putting obvious but random arithmetic facts into words. It is pretty pointless. There are no right answers provided the arithmetic is correct. I can remember similar seemingly pointless exercises from my youth: color the bunnies on the page red. How many red bunnies are on the page? The excuse was that I went to a very small elementary school, and there were three grades in one room. The teacher needed to keep kids in first grade occupied while she taught second and third grade.

I would guess that this followed a puzzle of that type, which would show you what is meant; "similar" means "similar to the one you just saw". And making such a puzzle includes making sure it has an answer.

For more examples, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verbal_arithmetic and http://www.cryptarithms.com/. The latter includes a "doubly true cryptarithm", which is what this example is like.

Do you see why neither of these could have a solution?

EDIT: On second look, I see that some of the examples given also can't have solutions. I think you need to show us what came before this!

It seems that there is a link to to start you off. Can we see that page as well?
If there is any solving to do for this, then the origin of the screenshot provided would indeed help.
