These KS1 and KS2 Maths Pyramids have been differentiated six ways making them suitable for all ages. Starting at beginner level, using one-digit numbers with addition only, all the way up to genius level, which covers all four operations and some negative numbers.

Each level contains at least six pyramids for the children to complete, with their first challenge being to work out which operation is being used. An answer sheet is provided to allow for quick and easy marking.
