Assess your pupils' ability to recognise parenthesis with this Year 6 Parenthesis Prior Learning worksheet before moving onto learning more about parenthesis. It includes three varied fluency questions, two reasoning and one application question.

An answer sheet is provided to allow for peer or self-marking to make marking and misconception checking quicker and easier.

This worksheet could be used as a prior knowledge check before the main lesson or with small groups of children who may need extra support with recognising parenthesis.
