For a little extra practice at identifying and using the best subtraction methods to answer different questions, get your class this Year 4 Efficient Subtraction extension activity! This pack is a natural follow-on from our main worksheets for this lesson, providing three more questions (two varied fluency and one reasoning) to work through at home or at the end of a lesson as an in-class extension.

The pack is differentiated three ways, just in case you want options to choose from for your class, and it also comes with an answer sheet. We hope that saves you time or helps your class when they self- and peer-mark!
