What each level generates

Grade 4 more, less or the same? — the exact skill behind each difficulty setting, straight from the generator.

  1. Level 1One colour against another
  2. Level 2A colour to ignore
  3. Level 3Two different objects

Grade levels follow the progression common to most English-language curricula — not one specific national curriculum. Every level shows exactly what it generates, so you can check the fit with your own program. See the full scope & sequence →

Frequently asked questions

▸Is probability a Grade 4 topic?

It depends on your curriculum. US Common Core has no probability standard at Grade 4 and introduces the topic in Grade 7, and England's national curriculum starts it at Key Stage 3. The Australian Curriculum and Ontario both teach chance at this age, and these sheets follow that sequence. Many teachers use it as early enrichment.

▸Are there spinners or dice pictures to colour in?

No. Each question describes its situation in a sentence, such as "A spinner has 12 equal sections and 5 of them are red", and the child answers from the description. The thinking is the same and the sheet prints identically everywhere.

▸What answers should my child write?

One of four words on the first sub-skill — certain, likely, unlikely or impossible — and one of three on the second: more, less or the same. Both are printed in the instruction line at the top of the sheet, so nobody has to guess the wording.

▸Why are there no questions about an even chance on the first sub-skill?

Because none of the four words fits one. An even chance is neither likely nor unlikely, so those questions live on the second sub-skill instead, where "the same" is an answer.

▸Is this worksheet generator free?

Yes — free, no sign-up, and no watermark. The sheet is built in your browser, and the link in the address bar reprints the same worksheet whenever you want it again.
