"Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, and Division: Exploring Mathematical Operations in Creative Ways" is a worksheet that contains grade-level appropriate addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division problems. Some, especially in younger grades, are set up horizontally and vertically like students have come to expect, but there are also opportunities for them to explore mathematical operations in creative ways.

Some worksheets contain addition and multiplication trees with missing numbers that they have to fill in. Some math problems are missing numbers, which gives students some preliminary practice with algebra. Others are missing digits within larger numbers, encouraging students to practice their problem-solving skills.

Pages also include word problems that practice other skills, like telling time, as well as math minutes, so students can see how many problems they can solve in 60 seconds.

It's important for students to practice mathematical operations, no matter what grade they're in, but it's important to continue offering challenging ways for them to practice their addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division knowledge. Young students can write out a problem that you read aloud, while upper grades can add or subtract large numbers.

You can add an extra challenge by having students find the missing addends or factors in an addition or multiplication problem. Students can find missing digits in three- and four-digit subtraction problems.

Addition and multiplication trees can be a fun way for students to practice their math skills. This is especially true if students have to fill in multiple "branches" on the tree or if you ask them to create division problems after completing a multiplication tree.
