Free math worksheets for basic operations

This worksheet generator allows you to make worksheets for addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication of whole numbers and integers, including both horizontal and vertical forms (long division etc.), and simple equations with variables.

You can make worksheets for...

• basic addition/subtraction facts
• mental addition and subtraction (for example, whole hundreds)
• multiplication tables, including missing factors
• basic division facts, including with remainders
• mental multiplication and division (for example, by powers of ten)
• column-form addition and subtraction, including subtraction with or without regrouping
• column-form multiplication (long multiplication)
• long division
• simple equations using either an empty line or a variable (choose missing addend/subtrahend/minuend/factor/dividend/divisor). This is usable from first grade up to pre-algebra/algebra 1!

All of this can be done either with positive whole numbers or integers (negative numbers) by choosing the range of numbers used. Experiment with the options to customize the worksheets as you like!

For example, you can add any amount of extra space for working out the problems, put a border around each problem, and choose the font and font size, which allows customizing the worksheets for students with visual problems or ADHD.

See below some example worksheet types. The generator can make an enormous variety of worksheets:

• Single-digit addition facts
• Subtraction facts within 18
• Add and subtract whole tens
• Multiplication tables of 6 and 7 practice
• Multiplying by whole tens and hundreds - missing factors
• Long division, 2-digit divisor, 3 or 4-digit dividend
• Simple multiplication and division equations
• Addition and subtraction of integers
• Addition and subtraction equations with integers

... and MANY MORE! You can find LOTS of ready-made links for various addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division worksheets on the grade-level pages: grade 1, grade 2, grade 3, grade 4, grade 5, and grade 6.

Math Worksheets for Basic Operations    

Operation:  Addition Subtraction Addition or subtraction Multiplication Division Multiplication or division Format:       Horizontal Vertical Columns:     Rows: (these determine the amount of problems)

Min: Max: Step: OR List: Value 1  Value 2    Value 3  OR

How Value 1, Value 2, and Value 3 work: In addition and/or subtraction: Value 1 and Value 2 are the two numbers to be added or subtracted, and Value 3 is the answer. In multiplication: Value 1 is one factor, Value 2 is second factor, and Value 3 is the answer. In division: Value 1 is the dividend, Value 2 is the divisor, and Value 3 is the answer. In Multiplication/Division things are different: In this option, Value 3 is the largest number (the answer for multiplication, and the dividend for division). Values 1 and 2 are the other two numbers (factors in multiplication, and divisor & answer for division). I am sorry for this discrepancy; however it allows for you to make, for example, multiplication/division equations based on basic multiplication tables by setting values 1 and 2 both to be from 2 to 12.

Extra vertical space below the horizontally written problems:  lines Extra vertical space below vertically written problems:  lines

Multiplication symbol: *    x    ∙     Division symbol:   /    ÷

Exact division (no remainder) (division only) No negative answers (subtraction only) No regrouping in subtraction (borrowing) Force regrouping in subtraction (borrowing) in all problems Leave both boxes concerning borrowing unticked if you want both problems with and without regrouping. Missing addend/subtrahend/minuend/factor/dividend/divisor problems Use a variable instead of a blank line for the answer (horizontal problems only) Switch the "="-sign randomly beginning/end (2 + 4 = ___ versus ___ = 2 + 4) Switch value 1 and value 2 randomly

Font: Default Arial Courier Courier New Helvetica sans-serif Times New Roman Verdana     Font Size: 8pt 10pt 12pt 14pt 16pt 18pt 24pt 36pt Cell Padding:     Border:     Problem numbers on the left side & on top
