What is in this set

The numbers in this set run from 2 to 50.
A careful solution takes 3 written steps on average.
The mistake this set invites most often, in 78% of the problems: the middle of the list as written was taken; the numbers have to be put in order first.
Answers are a whole number.

Drawing 240 problems from this page produced 240 different ones, 100% — so a sheet of 20 is a new sheet almost every time.

The same skill, harder or easier

We would put this in front of a grade 6 class. That is our judgement, not a standard, and it is printed here so you can disagree with it. Everything else we put in that year.
