Worksheet Overview

Spelling is often thought of as a skill needed for English lessons, but many words in other subjects are tricky to spell, and it can be frustrating if you know the word you want to write but don't know how to spell it.

 

In this activity, we will practise spelling some of the terms you will come across in your maths lessons when you are working in the area of numbers and the number system.
