Order of operations and negative numbers, from 8+ level to 11+ stretch, written for KS2 Year 5 and Year 6 practice. Six differentiated worksheets (Bronze, Silver, Gold) cover calculating across zero, multiplying and dividing before adding and subtracting, brackets, answers below zero, squares and nested brackets, and a reasoning sheet: add one pair of brackets to make each statement true. Every reasoning statement has exactly one correct placement (checked by computer). The answer key shows one line of working per operation.
Who it is for: Year 4–Year 6 (ages 8–11): 8+ practice, KS2 arithmetic and 11+ stretch. Independent resource; not linked to any exam board.
Inside (14 A4 pages):
• Cover and teacher/parent notes
• 6 worksheets, 120 questions: Bronze (negatives across zero; × and ÷ first), Silver (brackets; negative answers), Gold (squares and nested brackets; bracket-reasoning puzzles)
• Answer key with step-by-step working (6 pages)
Print tips: print on A4 at “actual size” / 100%. Each worksheet is a single page, so you can print only the sheets you need.
SATs-style practice. Independent resource: not produced or endorsed by the Standards and Testing Agency, and no past-paper questions are reproduced.
Answers are code-checked: generated with exact arithmetic and independently re-solved by a separate checking program (Tier 1 code-checked). No human content review of this pack.
AI note: No AI images: all graphics were drawn in code. Every question and answer was generated by code with exact arithmetic and re-checked by a separate checking program. Page text was drafted with AI help.
