Printable math worksheet generator
Choose the operation and how hard it should be. You get a clean one-page worksheet with new problems every time, plus the answers on a second page.
For the days a worksheet is a fight
We make Brainy Bucks, an iPhone and iPad app that covers the same skills as a short daily quest of 5, 10 or 15 minutes. A wrong answer gets a clue and a second try, and the ones a child missed come back in later quests, which a printed page can't do.
- One adaptive quest free every day. A paid Plus plan is optional.
- No ads, no accounts, works offline.
- Parents get a one-sentence weekly summary of what was practiced.
Which level to pick
| If your child… | Start with |
|---|---|
| counts on fingers for 6 + 3 | Addition, sums to 10 |
| knows facts to 10 but slows down at 8 + 7 | Addition or subtraction within 20 |
| can add 23 + 45 but gets 47 + 38 wrong | Two-digit with regrouping, 12 problems, stacked |
| is learning times tables | Multiplication with one or two tables ticked, then add a third |
| knows the tables but freezes on 56 ÷ 7 | Division with the same tables ticked |
A useful rule: if more than three of the first ten are wrong, the level is too high. Drop one and try again tomorrow. Practice works when most answers are right.
Getting more from one page
- Print twelve, not thirty, for anything new. A short page finished beats a long one abandoned.
- Use “stacked” for regrouping. Lining digits up in columns is the skill; the across layout hides it.
- Hand over the answer key. Children who mark their own work find their own slips, and you find out which problems to talk about.
- Reprint the same settings later in the week. The numbers change, the skill doesn't.
Only practising times tables? The multiplication worksheet generator is built just for tables 1 to 12. For clocks, try the telling time worksheet generator.
If worksheets reliably end in tears, see what to try when a child refuses math worksheets.
Questions people ask
Is the worksheet different every time?
Yes. Each press of “New sheet” draws a fresh set at the level you chose, so a child can repeat the same skill without memorising one page.
Does it print an answer key?
Yes. With the box ticked, answers print on a separate second page, so you can keep it back or hand it over for self-checking.
What does regrouping mean?
It's what many adults learned as carrying and borrowing. In 47 + 38 the ones add to 15, so ten of them are regrouped into the tens column. The no-regrouping levels avoid that step; the regrouping levels make sure it appears in every problem.
Can subtraction answers go below zero?
No. The larger number is always on top, and division problems always come out even.
Can I use these in a classroom?
Yes. Print as many as you like. There is nothing to sign up for.
