Arithmetic is the foundation of maths, and centres around getting children to work confidently and accurately with different types of numbers, using the four operations in the correct order to reach the right answer.
In this Arithmetic pack, your child will practise:

- Working with squares, cubes, square roots and cube roots
- Using the correct order of operations (BIDMAS), with brackets, powers and negative numbers
- Placing brackets or choosing the missing operator to make a calculation correct
- Comparing calculations to find the largest, smallest or equivalent result
- Calculating an answer and rounding it to a given degree of accuracy
- Finding a missing number, digit or the number halfway between two values
- Solving ‘think of a number’ problems and working backwards through number machines
- Working with remainders and other number relationships
- Applying custom rules, coded symbols and magic squares in special operations
- Solving word problems that involve comparing and calculating in real-life contexts
