This Year 6 Mixed Addition and Subtraction resource recaps the Year 5 steps of Add Mixed Numbers and the Year 5 Subtract Mixed Numbers so that children feel secure and comfortable in approaching the Year 6 step. The resource is made up of three varied fluency questions and three reasoning and problem-solving questions. There is a useful answer sheet that you can either let children self-mark or peer mark from, or for you to use for speed.
