Choose the operations and the amount of support

Choose by the learner’s current skills. Mixing operations adds the task of recognizing a sign before choosing a method, even when the individual numbers are familiar.

The preview shows the first student page. Downloads contain the complete worksheet; the version with answers adds a separate key with matching problem positions. More spacious written-method practice may use several pages.

Learning objective

What this activity builds

Read a complete equation and select a suitable calculation strategy.

Worked example

12 + 8 = ?

20

Make a ten: 12 needs eight more to reach twenty.

Teaching notes

Make the practice count

  • The width option controls operands, not results; a two-digit product can have four digits.
  • Subtraction remains nonnegative. Use a written method on spare space when mental calculation is not suitable.
  • Compare strategies for addition, subtraction and multiplication rather than applying one method to every item.
