Reviewing skills in new and interesting ways is important for retention. That's what the worksheet titled "Basic Arithmetic Operations and Word Problems Skills Review" is all about!

All four basic arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) are included on the worksheet in various difficulties, from adding single digits to multiplying double digits up to 12 and subtracting large numbers in the tens of thousands. There are opportunities for students to answer questions about fractions, counting coins, and rounding to the nearest ten. Worksheets also contain word problems at various difficulty levels, encouraging students to use their problem-solving skills.

Because this worksheet covers so many different skills, it's a great addition to a homework packet, early finisher activities, and small group work.

By third and fourth grade, students have learned many math skills. By practicing those skills in between learning new ones, students can solidify their understanding of those skills. They can then apply what they've learned to new challenges, which makes them better mathematicians. Not to mention, regularly practicing old skills is a great way for teachers to figure out which skills students need more practice on and which ones they have mastered.

For example, students might practice rounding large numbers to the nearest ten and estimating the answer before adding the two numbers together. If students struggle, you can revisit the concept as a class. Review worksheets that contain multiple skills are a great way to see exactly where students are still struggling and which skills they have mastered.
