AQA Unit Award Scheme (UAS) unit 113709, Number: Structure and Calculation (Unit 1)

This 40-page printable workbook covers five core number skills: ordering and comparing, the four operations, place value, inverse operations and order of operations. For each skill, learners read a short teaching page, work through worked examples and a guided task, practise at one of three levels, and finish with a self-checking game.

The workbook is written to match the learning outcomes of AQA Unit Award Scheme (UAS) unit 113709. This is an independent resource, not produced or endorsed by AQA.

Who it’s for

Learners aged 11–16 who need structured, well-supported number practice. It may suit SEN groups, intervention, catch-up or revision. The text is large, and learners can start at the level where they feel secure. No calculator is needed. Notes in the guide explain terms that vary between countries, such as BIDMAS (UK) and PEMDAS (US).
