About this activity

What your child practises

Practising key skills with a ready-to-use activity.

What’s included

  • 10 questions
  • An answer key you can print with the sheet or on its own
  • An on-screen version with instant marking and stars

Age and school year

Made for ages 13–14. That’s Grade 8–9 in the US, Year 9–10 in England, JSS 2–3 in Nigeria and Class 8–9 in India.

How to use it

  • Print it at home or school – it fits a standard A4 or US Letter page.
  • Print the answer key too, so marking takes seconds.
  • 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. Do it on screen first for instant marking, then print it a few days later to see what was remembered.
  2. Little and often wins: five minutes a day beats one long session a week.
  3. Use a fresh printed copy as a short timed test before an exam to practise working under pressure.
