Arithmetic worksheet

Pick the operation, the difficulty and how many problems, and a sheet is generated to fit one A4 page. It does not print a blank template — it makes the problems, so pressing again gives a new set. The answers print on the back, so marking takes two sheets and nothing else.

A new set every time you press it. Division problems always divide evenly.

Generates arithmetic worksheets to print. Pick the operation, the difficulty and the number of problems, and a sheet fills one A4 page; each time you draw again you get different problems. The answer key prints on a second page, so setting and marking take two sheets of paper.

It makes problems, not a blank form

The other printables here draw lines and boxes; this one draws numbers. You are not reprinting the same sheet but drawing new problems, so once a page is done the next one is different and answers cannot be learned by heart. There are seven choices: addition, subtraction, multiplication or division on their own, addition with subtraction, multiplication with division, or all four mixed.

Difficulty is a matter of digits

For addition and subtraction, one-digit means numbers from 1 to 9, two-digit 10 to 99 and three-digit 100 to 999. Multiplication and division are grouped differently. Three-digit times three-digit is not something primary-school practice uses, so one-digit is the times-table range, two-digit is a two-digit number by a one-digit one, and three-digit is two-digit by two-digit. Letting you pick digit counts separately would only add combinations nobody uses.

No negative answers, no remainders

Subtraction puts the larger number first, so the answer never drops below zero. Division picks the quotient and the divisor first and multiplies them to get the dividend, so it always divides exactly. Division with a remainder needs a different answer space and does not mix well on one sheet.

The layout follows the count

Choose 20, 30, 40 or 50 problems. One-digit sheets sit in five columns, two-digit in four and three-digit in three, and the row height is the page divided by the number of rows. The type size is not set from the row height alone: the longest expression actually drawn is measured so that it, the number and the answer space fit the column width, which is why even 50 three-digit divisions stay on the page.

The answer key is on the back page

With the key turned on, a second page carries the answers under the same numbers. The problem sheet has name, date and score fields at the top; the key does not. Whoever marks it need not work the sums out, and a child can check their own work. Turn it off and only one page prints.

Common questions

Can I print the same sheet again?

Raise the copy count in the print dialog. Once you draw new problems the previous set does not come back, and reopening the page starts from the first set again. If you like a sheet, print it or save it as a PDF there and then.

Does it print in column form?

Only in a row: "23 + 45 =" on one line with a rule after it for the answer. A child who needs to line up carries and borrows can copy the sum out vertically in that space.

What do two-digit multiplication and division look like?

Two-digit multiplication is 11 to 99 times 2 to 9; three-digit is 11 to 99 times 11 to 99. Two-digit division divides by a one-digit number to give a two-digit quotient; three-digit divides by a two-digit number for a two-digit quotient.

Can I save it as a PDF?

In the print dialog pick "Save as PDF" instead of a printer. With the key turned on you get a two-page PDF.

Does the settings panel print too?

Only the problem sheet and the key go to paper. They are fitted to A4 portrait with a 12mm margin, so nothing is clipped even without "shrink to fit".
