Arithmetic

What you’ll practice

Choose and apply the correct one-step arithmetic operation in a mixed set.

Look at the operation sign before you calculate. This sheet cycles through the four operations, with one operation in each question and no division remainders.

How this skill works

Each question contains one operation, so no order-of-operations decision is needed. The sequence repeats addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Subtraction is arranged to avoid negative results. Division is built from a multiplication fact so its quotient is a whole number.

Worked example

Calculate 8 + 7; 15 − 6; 4 × 3; 20 ÷ 5.
  1. 8 + 7 = 15.
  2. 15 − 6 = 9.
  3. 4 × 3 = 12 and 5 × 4 = 20, so 20 ÷ 5 = 4.

Answer: 15; 9; 12; 4

Teaching notes

  • Circle or name the operation before calculating.
  • Use the inverse operation when checking subtraction or division.

Answers and steps
  1. 10
    1. Therefore 3 + 7 = 10.
  2. 7
    1. Check by adding: 3 + 7 = 10.
  3. 18
    1. 3 equal groups of 6 contain 18 altogether.
  4. 11
    1. Use the related multiplication fact: 11 × 11 = 121.
  5. 12
    1. Therefore 7 + 5 = 12.
  6. 0
    1. Check by adding: 8 + 0 = 8.
  7. 90
    1. 9 equal groups of 10 contain 90 altogether.
  8. 7
    1. Use the related multiplication fact: 8 × 7 = 56.
  9. 17
    1. Therefore 12 + 5 = 17.
  10. 6
    1. Check by adding: 3 + 6 = 9.
  11. 90
    1. 9 equal groups of 10 contain 90 altogether.
  12. 2
    1. Use the related multiplication fact: 6 × 2 = 12.
