Maths Extensions / Multiple Choice Questions
Multiple Choice Questions writes mastery and reasoning problems for any objective you are teaching. Type what you are covering — equivalent fractions, percentage increase, area of a rectangle — choose an age range, and you get four graded word problems: a warm up, a medium, a hard and an ultimate challenge, each with four options, the answer and a worked solution. They print as a small card, four to an A4 page, for each child to stick in their book.
It is built for the moment a lesson needs more — a greater-depth task for the group who have finished, a reasoning problem to open with, or a stretch-and-challenge card you would otherwise spend twenty minutes hunting for. Every question can be reworded or swapped for another before you print, so the card says exactly what you want it to say.
How do I extend the children who finish early?
Generate on the objective you are teaching and use the hard and ultimate challenge questions as the extension. They sit on the same content, so nobody is doing different maths — they are going deeper into it.
Is this an alternative to White Rose Maths or NRICH?
It is a quicker route to one specific thing: a graded set of reasoning problems on the objective in front of you, written for your age range and ready to print. Use it alongside your scheme rather than instead of it.
What counts as greater depth in maths?
Using the same content in unfamiliar ways — multi-step problems, spotting a pattern, explaining why. The hard and ultimate challenge questions are written to need insight rather than more calculation.
How do I generate maths questions?
Type a maths objective and pick an age range, and a set of differentiated multiple-choice questions is generated with answers and workings.
Can I get answers and worked solutions?
Yes — every question comes with the answer and a worked solution.
Can I print a worksheet?
Yes. Print an A4 page of four identical cards to cut out and stick in books, with an answer sheet on page two.
Is it free?
Yes — Multiple Choice Questions is free to try. Generating questions with Sage uses one token. Every account gets 20 free tokens, and Pro gives 50 a day.
What maths can it cover?
Any primary objective — number, fractions, geometry, measures or statistics — differentiated for your age range.
