About this activity
What your child practises
Quick, accurate calculation and recall of number facts, building the fluency harder maths depends on.
What’s included
- 12 questions
- An answer key you can print with the sheet or on its own
- An on-screen version with instant marking and stars
Age and school year
Made for ages 14–16. That’s Grade 9–11 in the US, Year 10–12 in England, JSS 3 – SS 2 in Nigeria and Class 9–11 in India.
How to use it
- Print it at home or school – it fits a standard A4 or US Letter page.

- Play it on screen: answers are marked instantly and children earn stars.
- Write on it on a tablet or touchscreen with a finger or stylus – no printer needed.
Tips for parents and teachers
- Time one try, then beat it a few days later – children love racing their own best rather than others.
- If a question goes wrong, ask your child to show it with fingers, objects or a quick sketch, then try again.
- Combine this sheet with past exam questions on the same topic for mixed, exam-style practice.
