This set of arithmetic worksheets is written and illustrated for adults and older teenagers who want to improve their basic arithmetic skills but it is also suitable for younger age groups. It is ideal for helping people to practise their times tables. These SKILLSHEETS show students the basic principles behind multiplication and division and the connections between them. The book is structured to ensure progression from the idea of counting objects in groups to memorising multiplication facts and using formal and informal methods with understanding to solve problems. Each times table has its own page. There are plenty of examples of how to use tricks and patterns to work out complicated multiplications mentally. Estimation skills are also covered. The word problem sheets throughout the book assess students’ ability to apply their skills to real situations. Knowing when to multiply or divide is as important as knowing how to. The worksheets on multiplication and division by 10, 100, and 1000 focus on shifting digits’ place value to take students away from the “add a zero to times by ten” idea which causes problems once decimals are involved. Each worksheet comes in three versions.
