Text Formatting ⇒ Worksheets for young Students

[jim192837]

Hi,

I've been searching for a way to create an addition or subtraction worksheet using LaTeX, but I haven't had any luck. How would I create a worksheet with 5 columns and 8 rows of 3-digit addition problems like this (total 40 problems)?
i.e.

Code: Select all

  214      105  etc...
+ 135    + 152
=====    =====


  345      271  etc...
+ 421    + 376
=====    =====

Is there a way to do this in LaTeX that allows you to create each addition problem at a time, then put it all together in rows and columns (Tables within tables??)? I've been doing it in MS Word using the equation editor, which has been really cumbersome.

I'd greatly appreciate any advice. Thank you.
Jim

This shouldn't be too difficult. Something like this maybe?

Code: Select all

\documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage{tabu,mathtools}
\setlength\parindent{0pt}
\tabulinesep=_20pt
\begin{document}
\begin{center}
 \LARGE Worksheet
\end{center}
\begin{tabu} to \linewidth {XXXXX}
 % first line
 $\begin{array}{r}
    123 \\
   +456 \\
   \hline
  \end{array}$
 &
 $\begin{array}{r}
    123 \\
   +456 \\
   \hline
  \end{array}$
 &
 $\begin{array}{r}
    123 \\
   +456 \\
   \hline
  \end{array}$
 &
 $\begin{array}{r}
    123 \\
   +456 \\
   \hline
  \end{array}$
 &
 $\begin{array}{r}
    123 \\
   +456 \\
   \hline
  \end{array}$
  \\ % second line
  $\begin{array}{r}
    123 \\
   +456 \\
   \hline
  \end{array}$
 &
 $\begin{array}{r}
    123 \\
   +456 \\
   \hline
  \end{array}$
 &
 $\begin{array}{r}
    123 \\
   +456 \\
   \hline
  \end{array}$
 &
 $\begin{array}{r}
    123 \\
   +456 \\
   \hline
  \end{array}$
 &
 $\begin{array}{r}
    123 \\
   +456 \\
   \hline
  \end{array}$
\end{tabu}

\end{document}
