Each one generates a different kind of question, with its own three levels and answer key.
- Times Table FactsStraight table recall, the missing factor, and three numbers multiplied at once.
- Division FactsDivision pulled straight out of the times tables: the easy divisors, then a leftover, then the missing number.
- Multiply by 10 and 100Shift the digits: multiplying and dividing by 10 and 100 in a single step.
- Taking Away in Your HeadSubtract in your head, including the exchange that trips most children up.
- Doubles and HalvesDouble a number, halve a number, then work backwards from the answer.
- Mixed ChainsTwo or three operations in a row, held in your head and worked left to right, bracket first where there is one.
Frequently asked questions
βΈWhat mental maths should a Grade 4 student know?
All four operations: multiplication and division facts to 12, addition and subtraction of two- and three-digit numbers, and scaling facts by 10 and 100 β for example 47 Γ 10 or 800 Γ· 100. Seven separate skills cover them here, and Mixed Chains is the one that puts more than one operation on a line.
βΈDo any of the divisions leave a remainder?
Only on one level. The middle level of Division Facts is built from a quotient and a remainder and answers like 7 R 5. Everywhere else the dividend is built by multiplying the answer by the divisor, so the result is an exact whole number and the focus stays on recall speed.
βΈWhat does the Multiply by 10 and 100 skill cover?
Shifting the digits: level 1 multiplies by ten, level 2 by a hundred, and level 3 divides by both β 47 Γ 10, 47 Γ 100, 470 Γ· 10, 800 Γ· 100. It drills the place-value scaling habit that turns a known fact into a bigger one without extra work.
βΈHow do I reuse the same worksheet later?
The link in your address bar encodes the skill, level, count and shuffle, so opening it again rebuilds the identical sheet and the identical answer key. Bookmark it for a fair re-test, or press Shuffle for a fresh set at the same skill and level.
