Mental Maths Worksheet Generator

📖 About this tool

Mental arithmetic is a daily task through primary school, and what parents and teachers lack is not questions but a fresh set every day that can be printed straight away. Choose a question type and a count, click once, and you get a full page with a header row for name, date, time taken and score. Print it and hand it over; the answer page can sit at the end or start a new page.

Eleven question types are covered: addition, subtraction, mixed addition and subtraction, multiplication, division, all four operations, column arithmetic, comparing sizes, filling a bracket, fractions and decimals. The number range, whether negatives appear, whether division may leave a remainder, whether multiplication uses two-digit numbers and whether zero is allowed are each controlled separately, or a year group preset can be applied and then fine-tuned.

Layout controls cover questions per row, rows per page, question numbering, font size and line height. For fill-the-bracket questions the blank can sit after the equals sign, in the first number or in the middle number, which allows genuinely different practice. Duplicates can be removed so the same sum does not appear twice on one page.

Everything is generated in the browser with no network use, no upload and no registration. Print or export to PDF, download an image to share with a class group, or export CSV or TXT to lay out yourself.

✨ Features

• Eleven types: addition, subtraction, mixed, multiplication, division, all four, column, compare, bracket, fractions, decimals.
• Year group presets: years one to six each carry sensible ranges and difficulty.
• Controlled ranges: minimum and maximum, negatives, remainders, two-digit multipliers and zero.
• Blank position: after the equals sign, the first number or the middle number.
• Full header: title, name, date, time taken and score laid out together.
• Flexible answers: at the end, on a new page, or none at all.
• Several exports: print to PDF, image, CSV and TXT.

🚀 How to use

1. Choose a question type, or pick a year group preset and adjust it.
2. Enter the question count, questions per row and rows per page.
3. Set the number range and choose whether negatives, remainders and two-digit multipliers are allowed.
4. Enter the worksheet title and tick the header fields you want.
5. Choose where the answers go, or none.
6. Click Generate to preview, then print, download an image, or export CSV or TXT.

⚠️ Notes

• Division divides exactly by defaultTick remainders if you want that practice.
• Paper limits the countLarge sets paginate, so check the page count before printing.
• Turn off browser headersThe browser header and footer eat into the layout.
• De-duplication reduces the countRemoving duplicates may leave fewer than requested.
• Local onlyQuestions are drawn randomly each time and are not kept after a refresh.

Drills only work if they are short, frequent and slightly different each time, which is exactly what is tedious to produce by hand. Generating a page takes seconds and removes the repetition, while the controls over range and question type keep the difficulty where it needs to be rather than drifting. Printing from the browser means there is nothing to install and no account to create.

A printed sheet also has a virtue that screen practice lacks: it can be marked quickly, kept, and compared with last week is sheet to see whether accuracy or speed is the real problem. Parents and teachers can set a different type each day without repeating a single question.
