A very clever spreadsheet that produces a constant supply of different worksheets with the click of a button (you must enable macros for the ‘recalculate’ button to operate). It produces a very nicely laid 1 page worksheets with a fold-over (or cut -off!) answer strip – each page has 16 questions covering addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of large numbers and fractions (some of the fraction questions are beyond the scope of the L2 curriculum but can easily be omitted).
