How to use it

  • Print it at home or school – it fits a standard A4 or US Letter page.

  • Play it on screen: answers are marked instantly and children earn stars.
  • Write on it on a tablet or touchscreen with a finger or stylus – no printer needed.

Tips for parents and teachers

  1. Pair an easier sheet with a harder one in the same session so practice always ends on a success.
  2. If a question goes wrong, ask your child to show it with fingers, objects or a quick sketch, then try again.
  3. Ask your child to teach you one thing from the sheet; explaining is a great test of understanding.
