KS1/KS2 Maths - Basic Sum Book - Arithmetic Practice
Various exercises on basic addition, subtraction and multiplication.
Aimed at 5/6 year olds. 16 pages of questions.
A diagnostic test to discover what basic arithmetic skills your students have and still need to be taught. Includes: counting, symbols and place value, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
This set of arithmetic worksheets is written and illustrated for adults and older teenagers who want to improve their very basic arithmetic skills but it is also suitable for younger age groups.
These SKILLSHEETS are intended to provide practice in basic counting and arithmetic skills. The concepts of addition and subtraction are introduced in a variety of ways using different vocabulary. The first section concentrates on the addition and subtraction of numbers up to ten. Learners are encouraged to see connections between the number bonds.
e.g. 5 + 4 = 9 and 9 - 5 = 4 so that they begin to recall the facts more easily.
4 + 5 = 9 9 - 4 = 5
The later worksheets move students gently on to simple calculations involving numbers up to 100. There is a systematic approach to adding and subtracting 2 digit numbers using constant reinforcement of place value. The main emphasis is on mental calculations though some calculations have been set out vertically to prepare students for more formal methods later. The work is continued to harder examples involving borrowing and carrying in “Arithmetic” SKILLSHEETS.
Each worksheet comes in three versions. Monochrome, colour or on-screen completion ( answers need to be checked by a tutor )

Many thanks
This booklet has been created for use with KS3 pupils in my school to ensure that pupils are able to do the basic numeracy skills and to provide consistency of my schools preferred methods. This booklet has QR codes on each page which can be scanned by pupils that link to appropriate YouTube videos if they get stuck. I am implementing this booklet for use in form time but could be used as a starting point for the year or starters for each lesson. I am creating a KS4 version, however, this could be used at any key stage.

Year 6 maths SATs arithmetic intervention for pupils aiming to move from low–mid 30s into the high 30s and full marks (38–40). This targeted maths pack focuses on high-value fraction, percentage, and multi-step calculation skills that most often determine top-end scores on the KS2 maths arithmetic paper.
Designed for pupils who are fluent with written methods and ready for precision, speed, and consistency, this pack develops the skills that help pupils move from low–mid 30s into the high 30s and full marks (38–40). Ideal for small-group intervention or targeted whole-class support in the run-up to SATs.
✔ Designed to push pupils beyond expected standard towards high 30s and full marks in maths paper 1
✔ Focuses on high-mark arithmetic content
✔ Targets fractions, percentages, and calculations where top marks are most often lost
✔ Short, structured lessons for rapid impact and easy deployment
✔ Supports arithmetic fluency that underpins confident reasoning and problem solving
What’s included
✔ 11 fully resourced mini maths arithmetic intervention lessons
✔ Teacher input slides for direct modelling (PowerPoint)
✔ Independent practice questions for each lesson (pdf)
✔ Full answer booklet for quick marking and feedback
✔ Lessons taken directly from the Boost Arithmetic scheme
✔ Ready to use with no additional preparation required
Lesson sequence
L1 Find percentages of amounts
L2 Multiply multi-digit numbers by a two-digit number, including decimals

L11 Mixed fraction calculations: addition and subtraction
Who this pack is for
✔ Year 6 pupils already scoring in the low–mid 30s on maths arithmetic papers
✔ Pupils fluent with written methods and aiming for high 30s and full marks
✔ Pupils needing precision, speed, and consistency at the top end of the maths paper
✔ Teachers targeting marginal gains to secure 38–40 marks
✔ Schools focused on maximising arithmetic outcomes rather than revisiting basics
The PowerPoint includes a bank of lessons for Place Values:
Identifying Patterns
Finding rules of sequences
Finding the next term of a sequence
Finding missing terms in sequences
A big set of 30 arithmetic starter worksheets.
Each sheet has squared paper at the side to allow children to have space to use formal, written methods and/or pictorial methods to work out the answers to the questions.
A range of basic skills are covered such as:
counting in 2s, 3s, 5s and 10s.
place Value
adding/subtracting tens

The Following presentation was created for the Applications and Interpretations SL course but can be used for any course such as A-levels that teach this topic. I have included exam question from both A-Level and the IB in the Presentation.
The PowerPoint goes through the following:
-linear sequences from GCSE
-the nth term formula
-embedded simultaneous equation problems
-inequality problems
-introduction to series and proof
-both forms of writing the sum formula
-sum problems involving inequalities
-sigma notation
-basic summation properties
Throughout the PowerPoint there are worked examples along with exercises for students. I have also included a few video exam solutions with videos going through addition examples for students. There is also a video explain how the Arithmetic Sum formula evolved. At the end of each section I have included IB exam questions so students get get practice to the types and style of questioning they should expect to see when they write their exams.
Adding negatives can be quite difficult to understand and this worksheet is a great way to revisit the concept in a fun way
