Maths arithmetic practice starters (x20) KS2 (Y3/4) Addition/Subtraction/Multiplication/Division

(0)
Calculation activity that allows children to practice all 4 operations (+ - x /) on a regular basis. This pack contains 20 differentiated sheets each containing 4 questions covering all four operations. The questions get progressively more challenging from sheet to sheet and so they can be used as a diagnostic check up for teachers throughout the year as children progress. Each sheet has space for working out, traffic lights for self assessment and a space for children to identify a target to work on for next time. These sheets are linked to progression in calculation through the year 3 and 4 curriculum. Also includes a blank template (Publisher format) if you want to make extra sheets.

Children can use these snap cards alongside practical resources to further support understanding of multiplication and division. These cards can be used to support any multiplication work and activities involving multiplication or inverse. They can also be used to support understanding about the area of shapes (linking multiplication to squared units of measure).
