About Clever Calculation Worksheet
Drills for choosing the clever route: rounding (276 + 98), splitting (25 × 44 = 25 × 4 × 11), chained-operation properties (365 − 78 − 22, 720 ÷ 24 ÷ 3) and the distributive law (36 × 99 + 36, (100 − 2) × 45). Problems are printed as ordinary sums — picking the method is the exercise. The answer is the true value.

FAQ
Do the problems say which shortcut to use?
No — the problem is an ordinary sum such as 25 × 44. Deciding which shortcut applies is exactly what is being practised; the answer given is the correct value.
Why are the printed dimensions wrong?
If your print dialogue has "Fit to page" enabled or scaling below 100%, the whole grid is scaled down. Set scaling to 100% / "Actual size", and tick the calibration ruler in the generator, then measure the 5 cm mark with a ruler. PDF dimensions are locked in the file, so they are the safest option.
Does anything I type or upload get sent to a server?
No. Generation, preview and export all happen inside your browser. Nothing is uploaded and no account is needed.
