KS1 Year 2 Maths Reasoning Worded Problems - Multiplication, Division, Addition and Subtraction

A group of six sets of differentiated worded maths problems to test reasoning skills that fit with the new national curriculum. The problems are colour coded according to difficulty and each set has been provided in PDF format as well as Word format to allow for easy editing should you wish to amend them to fit your topic. These questions are loosely related to the topic os 'Explorers'.

Personally when I used these in related lessons the children were provided with a choice on their table so they could challenge themselves according to the colour coding. I used the mixed sets to start testing their ability to choose the correct operation.

Includes:
Addition (green - not crossing tens; orange - crossing tens; and red - two step)
Subtraction (green - not crossing tens; orange - crossing tens; and red - two step)
Multiplication (green - 2s and 10s; orange - 5s and 3s; and red - two step)
Division (green - 2s and 10s; orange - 5s and 3s; and red - two step or questions that may involve a remainder)
Two sets of mixed multiplication and division problems.
