Arithmetic

Why mixed practice helps

Practising one operation at a time builds a method. Mixing operations builds judgement: children must read each question carefully and choose an efficient approach. This style of practice is useful preparation for end-of-Key-Stage-2 arithmetic and for secondary maths.

Each generated sheet draws on addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, decimals and percentages at an upper-Key-Stage-2 level.

Arithmetic

A good routine

Complete the sheet without a calculator, mark it with the answer sheet, then redo only the questions that went wrong. Track which question types cause trouble and practise those topics individually.
