The Four Operations - Worksheet

The "Addition and Subtraction Worksheet" is a comprehensive resource designed to help Year 6 students enhance their fluency in solving mathematical problems involving addition and subtraction. The worksheet includes a variety of exercises, starting with straightforward calculations such as adding and subtracting large numbers. For example, students are asked to sum 8,043,561 and 723,954, and to find the difference between 725,893 and 249,302. The worksheet also challenges students to identify and correct mistakes in subtraction problems and to solve real-life problems, such as calculating the difference in earnings between a football captain and his teammate.

The worksheet progresses to more complex tasks where students must fill in missing digits to complete addition and subtraction calculations. This not only tests their understanding of the operations but also their reasoning skills. A problem-solving scenario is presented where students calculate the declining number of bees over a period of years, starting with a given population. Additionally, the worksheet encourages collaborative learning by asking students to create multi-step calculations for their partners to solve. This engaging approach ensures that students not only practice their arithmetic skills but also develop critical thinking and teamwork abilities.
