What is mixed operations?

Mixed operations practice combines addition, subtraction, multiplication and division so students choose the right operation for each problem.

How to teach it

Mix the four operations so children choose the operation from the situation, not just repeat the last one. Ask 'is the answer bigger or smaller?' first.

Worked example

3 ร— 11 =
Answer: 33
Why: 10 ร— 3 = 30; 1 ร— 3 = 3; add: 30 + 3 = 33
3 rows of 11 = 3 ร— 11 = 33

Common mistake

Applying whichever operation was just practised rather than reading what the problem asks.
