About this worksheet

Mixed sheets are harder than they look. On a page of only addition, a child can work on autopilot; mixing the operations makes them stop and check the sign, which is the habit that prevents most careless errors.

Teaching tip

Have students circle every minus sign before they solve anything. It takes ten seconds and catches most mix-ups.
