About Year Group Maths

What the site makes, and what it leaves out

Everything here is arithmetic. That means addition and subtraction, times tables, the written methods for column addition, column subtraction, short division, long division, the bus stop method and the grid method, plus number bonds. A sheet is one A4 page of questions and one A4 page of answers.

It does not cover fractions, decimals, percentages, shape, space, measures, statistics or problem solving. Those are worth teaching, but they need diagrams, contexts and marking judgement that a page of printed questions cannot supply. A generator that claims to do all of it usually does none of it well, so this one stays inside the four operations.

Why every sheet is A4

Both England and Australia print on A4: 210 by 297 millimetres. The sheets are laid out to that measurement, with 15 mm side margins and 12 mm top and bottom margins so nothing falls inside the unprintable edge of a school printer.

Letter paper is 216 by 279 millimetres. It is 6 mm wider and 18 mm shorter than A4. Print an A4 page onto Letter and either the bottom of the answer key is clipped or the printer shrinks the page and the type gets smaller than the size the year group calls for. Schools here do not stock Letter, so every layout on this site is fixed to A4 and the browser print dialog is told the same.

Why the answer key is always page 2

Marking is faster when the questions and the answers line up. Page 1 is the sheet the child writes on; page 2 is the same questions in the same order with the answers filled in. A teacher can hold both pages, or put them side by side, and mark down the page without hunting for a separate document.

The answer page also makes the sheet usable at home. A parent who is not confident with the method can read the answer, then look at the question and see where the working went wrong, instead of guessing whether a wrong-looking answer is actually right.

No accounts, no advertising

There is no sign-up, no email capture and no advertising. Nothing about a visit is stored on a server: the generator runs in the browser, and the PDF is assembled on the device that asked for it. There is a separate privacy page that sets this out in full.

Independent of government and exam boards

This is independent practice material, produced without any connection to the Department for Education, the Standards and Testing Agency or any exam board. Nothing here reproduces statutory wording or a published test paper, and no page claims to be approved, endorsed or required by any body.

Schools sequence the same content differently, and the year labels on this site are a practical guide rather than a statement about what any particular scheme of work does in a particular term. If a sheet does not match your school’s order, the settings above it will usually fix that faster than looking for another site.
