Four Operations, Powers & BIDMAS Bundle
An interactive lesson on screen. Your child works through worked examples, practises on their own, then tests themselves with questions that get harder as they go.
About this lesson
By the end of these eight lessons your child can add, subtract, multiply and divide whole numbers in their head and on paper, work with squares, cubes and roots, and tell which part of a calculation to do first. Fractions, percentages, ratio and algebra are all these methods wearing a different hat, so a gap here turns up again in every one of them.
What's included:
- Mental Addition & Subtraction - 7 units (Within 10, Within 20, Adding to 100, Subtracting to 100, Adding to 1000, Subtracting to 1000, Choosing the Method), 104 questions
- Column Addition & Subtraction - 7 units (Setting Out in Columns, Column Addition, Column Subtraction, Missing Digit Puzzles, Missing Digits Adding, Missing Digits Subtracting, Estimating and Checking), 78 questions
- Grid and Column Multiplication - 6 units (Grid Method One Digit, Grid Method Two and Three Digits, Column Method One Digit, Long Multiplication and the Zero, Three Digits by Three Digits, Missing Digit Puzzles), 84 questions
- Short Division - 6 units (Remainders, Bus Stop Without Exchange, Exchanging into the Next Column, Four and Five Digits, Two Digit Divisors by Listing Multiples, Two Digit Divisors by Splitting into Factors), 84 questions
- Divisibility & Multiplication Rules - 10 units (Doubling Routes, Ten and Five, Three and Six, Nine and Eleven, Seven and Twelve, Round and Adjust, Tests for 2 10 and 5, Tests for 3 and 9, Tests for 4 and 8, Tests for 6 and 12), 136 questions
- Squares, Cubes and Roots - 7 units (Square Numbers, Square Roots, Estimating Roots, Cube Numbers, Cube Roots, Rapid Recall, Combining Powers and Roots), 108 questions
- Order of Operations (BIDMAS) - 5 units (Which Operation First, Setting It Out, Brackets, Indices and Roots, Hidden Brackets), 80 questions
- Inverse Operations and Inserting Brackets - 6 units (Calculation Words, Words into Calculations, Working Backwards, Longer Chains, Inserting Brackets, Two Pairs), 92 questions
Your child works through each lesson on any screen. They play with the tool at the start of a unit, click to reveal each line of a worked example, set the practice questions out on paper, then click to check their own answer.
How it's structured:
- Each of the 54 units opens with a worked example your child clicks through one line at a time, then practice questions graded from easy up to the hardest thing that unit asks for
- 766 questions in total across the 8 lessons, every one with a click-to-reveal answer and a reveal-all option, and most question banks have a New Questions button that deals a fresh set whenever you want more
- Every lesson closes with its own mixed challenge pulling from all its units, including missing digit puzzles, number pyramids, spot-the-mistake and two-step word problems
25 hands-on tools a printed worksheet cannot give you. A column builder where one click at a time reveals the carry or the exchange exactly where a pencil would put it. A bridging number line that shows why 47 + 26 is easier as a hop to 50 and then a hop of 23. A missing digit detective that highlights the column it is talking about and says what to ask yourself before it gives the answer. A divisibility machine that runs any test on any number and lights up the digits the test looks at. A cube that builds one layer at a time, so a child who has made 4³ out of 16 cubes and 4 layers stops writing 12. A bracket placer that drops a pair anywhere in a calculation and shows the answer move.
Use this if:
- Your child is in Year 3 to Year 11 and their arithmetic is the thing slowing every other topic down
- You are preparing for SATs or the 11+, where the non-calculator paper is almost entirely these eight skills
- Your child drops a carry, forgets to exchange, or works 36 − 27 + 8 from right to left and loses the mark on otherwise correct arithmetic
- You want a resource your child can check their own work with, not one more thing on your to-do list

FAQs
How do I access the lesson?
You'll get an email with your lesson link as soon as payment goes through. Click it to open the lesson in any browser, no login and no app to install.
How does the marking work?
There's no typing answers into a box. Your child works it out on paper, then clicks to reveal the correct answer and checks their own work. Full working is shown too, not just the final answer, so mistakes are easy to spot.
Does it work on a phone or tablet?
It works best on a tablet or laptop, where there's more room to read the examples and questions. It'll open on a phone too, but the text and diagrams can feel quite small on a smaller screen.
Can I use the lesson more than once?
Yes. There's no limit on how many times you open the link, so it's there for revision right up to the exam.
