These puzzles are designed in the same way as a traditional crossword but using numbers instead of words. Each clue is a sum, and the result should be entered into the matching squares on the numbered grid. This file contains ten Cross Numbers puzzles together with a solution sheet. I have included two versions, one in PDF and the second an Excel file, whichever is your preference.

There are twenty printable sheets in this file, each containing a partially-filled multiplication grid. The aim of the exercise is to fill in the orange vertical and horizontal headings with the numbers 1-12 so that the full puzzle may be completed. Multiplication skills and an element of logic will be necessary to complete each puzzle correctly. I have included two versions, one in PDF and the second an Excel file, whichever is your preference.

Money addition and subtraction: Both files consist of 56 worksheets, each containing 12 questions. In the first file I have created random lists of three digit money addition and subtraction questions, and the second file is made up of four digit questions. I have also included answers sheets.

I have no idea if this will be of any use to anyone in the community but I have enjoyed putting it together so it has not really been a total waste of time! The first sheet in the file gives you an automatic metric measurement of length converter, simply enter the figure you want to convert into the appropriate box and the converted figure will appear. I have also included printable sheets of conversion tables for inches to centimetres, feet to metres, kilometres to miles etc. If you wish to take advantage of the automatic converter you will need to use the spreadsheet but the PDF version may be used for print-outs if you prefer this format. I have now added as requested an additional file with printable sheets converting part inches to cm & mm.

This file consists of 56 printable worksheets, each containing 12 randomly numbered three digit column addition questions, an answer sheet is included.

In the first file I have created 56 random lists of two digit addition questions, all resulting in only two digit answers and none of which include carrying. The second file contains 150 random lists of two digit addition questions, but this time they all involve carrying. There are two types of printable formats, the first intended as a question sheet asking the pupils to write the answers as sums into their exercise books. With the second version the answers may be written directly onto the worksheet. Once you have chosen which version you want to use, enter a list number in the yellow box to produce an A4 sheet of 12 questions - the yellow box and surrounding area will not be displayed in the print-out and I have left the title cells unlocked so that you may re-name if required. I have included numbers list sheets allowing you to highlight each list every time you print a newly generated question sheet, making it easy for you to keep a record of the lists you have already used. There are also answers sheets. For those who would prefer the convenience of having all the sheets immediately visible and ready the print, or simply do not like Excel, I have now added PDF versions. I have also included 56 worksheets of Two Digit Subtractions. If these are favourably received I will be happy to do the same with those worksheets that involve carrying. pssg1955@gmail.com

These worksheets are each made up of 12 assorted four-digit column subtractions which should be completed by calculating and inserting the missing numbers.

I have put together a batch of my resources which I hope will be useful for parents at this time.

These files contain four sudoku puzzles but with a twist, as this time they are all made up of Roman Numerals.

I do hope that someone will find them useful.

This file contains a blank template intended perhaps as a class exercise. There is a choice of 100 lists of random three-digit numbers to be multiplied by a varied list of numbers between 2-12. Simply enter one list number between 1-100 into the blue square at the top of the sheet to generate a printable worksheet of 20 multiplication questions. Your chosen list number will be recorded at the bottom of the sheet – the file also includes a solutions sheet. I have of course had to protect formulas but I have left heading section unlocked so you can change this to suit your own requirements.

As we shall soon be approaching the Christmas season I have brought a seasonal theme to my earlier Cross Numbers Puzzle. The puzzle is designed in the same way as a traditional crossword but using numbers instead of words, each clue is a sum, and the result should be entered into the matching squares on the numbered grid. On this occasion the clues are in part taken from the number of gifts in the song “The Twelve Days of Christmas”. The file contains one puzzle, together with the solution, there is also a sheet containing the lyrics of the song. I have included two versions, one in PDF and the second an Excel file, whichever is your preference.

For fans of Sudoku, here are five puzzles which can be completed directly onto the computer, with answers provided. I have also included a printable version in PDF.
