Step Four-Operations
Choose the types of operations you would like to have appear on your worksheet.  By checking the appropriate boxes, you can choose one operation or multiple operations at your discretion. If you choose more than one the problems on the worksheet will be equally divided among the operations.  For example, if you are developing a worksheet with 20 problems and you check multiplication and division, the worksheet will have 10 multiplication problems and 10 division problems.  

Next, choose whether you would like the problems grouped or mixed. Choosing Group will group all multiplication problems together, all division problems together, etc.  Choosing Mix-up will mix the different operations throughout the worksheet.

Step Five-Set Attributes

In this section you will set the attributes for each type of operation which was selected in step four.  

Addition

Integers in Addend1: Choose the number of integers you would like to have appear in the Addend1.  The integers are the numbers appearing to the left of the decimal point.  In the examples above, the Addend1 has two integers (33). Your choices are 1 integer to 3 integers..
Decimals in Addend1: Choose the number of decimals you would like to have appear in the Addend1. The decimals are the numbers appearing to the right of the decimal point.  In the examples above, the Addend1 has two decimals (44). Your choices are No Decimals  to 3 decimals.
Integers in Addend2: Choose the number of integers you would like to have appear in the Addend2.  The integers are the numbers appearing to the left of the decimal point.  In the examples above, the Addend2 has two integers (11). Your choices are 1 integer to 3 integers.
Decimals in Addend2: Choose the number of decimals you would like to have appear in the Addend2. The decimals are the numbers appearing to the right of the decimal point.  In the examples above, the Addend2 has two decimals (22). Your choices are No Decimals  to 3 decimals.
Allow Negatives:  Check this box to allow negative numbers to appear in the problems.  If this box is checked, some problems will have a negative Addend1, some will have a negative Addend2, some will have both, and some will have none.  The numbers which will be negative are randomly assigned.
