Numbers and Algebra worksheets

Build number and algebra skills from counting to problem solving

This category includes counting, ordering and comparing numbers, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, patterns, fractions, and word problems. Match the sheet to the idea pupils are learning, starting with pictures or a number line when they still need to see what a number means before calculating.

• Counting and comparing: let pupils point, count, or group objects before using numerals and signs.
• Calculation: revisit one method step by step, then choose the addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division activity for the lesson.
• Patterns, fractions, and problems: ask pupils what they notice before they fill an answer, so you can see the thinking rather than just the result.
