In the first file I have created 56 random lists of two digit addition questions, all resulting in only two digit answers and none of which include carrying. The second file contains 150 random lists of two digit addition questions, but this time they all involve carrying. There are two types of printable formats, the first intended as a question sheet asking the pupils to write the answers as sums into their exercise books. With the second version the answers may be written directly onto the worksheet. Once you have chosen which version you want to use, enter a list number in the yellow box to produce an A4 sheet of 12 questions - the yellow box and surrounding area will not be displayed in the print-out and I have left the title cells unlocked so that you may re-name if required. I have included numbers list sheets allowing you to highlight each list every time you print a newly generated question sheet, making it easy for you to keep a record of the lists you have already used. There are also answers sheets. For those who would prefer the convenience of having all the sheets immediately visible and ready the print, or simply do not like Excel, I have now added PDF versions. I have also included 56 worksheets of Two Digit Subtractions. If these are favourably received I will be happy to do the same with those worksheets that involve carrying. pssg1955@gmail.com

This is that old chestnut “Think of a number” but with a twist, as this time there is no need to subtract the number you first thought of to accurately predict the result. A late bit of fun for end of term whilst still calling on those important addition and multiplication skills! Use as a PowerPoint or simply print the middle slide.

I have selected a second batch of puzzles and worksheets which parents may find easier to access if all under the ‘Home Learning’ heading and again I do hope they will find them useful during this period.

The Times Tables Challenge can be used in school or at home to test Times Tables skill and speed. There are 10 worksheets, each containing 4 identical randomly-placed Times Tables (1-12). The aim is to see how quickly Grid 1 can be completed, with a box to record the time taken, then later the same can be done with Grid 2 and so on to see if speed and accuracy can be improved upon. I have included two versions, one in PDF and the second an Excel file, whichever is your preference.

As we shall soon be approaching the Christmas season I have brought a seasonal theme to my earlier Cross Numbers Puzzle. The puzzle is designed in the same way as a traditional crossword but using numbers instead of words, each clue is a sum, and the result should be entered into the matching squares on the numbered grid. On this occasion the clues are in part taken from the number of gifts in the song “The Twelve Days of Christmas”. The file contains one puzzle, together with the solution, there is also a sheet containing the lyrics of the song. I have included two versions, one in PDF and the second an Excel file, whichever is your preference.

These worksheets are each made up of 12 assorted four-digit column additions which have to be completed by calculating and inserting the missing numbers. There are 12 printable sheets together with solutions. I have included two versions, one in PDF and the second an Excel file, whichever is your preference.
