Age and school year

Made for ages 5–8. That’s Kindergarten – Grade 3 in the US, Year 1–4 in England, Nursery 2 – Primary 3 in Nigeria and UKG – Class 3 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. 1Ask “How do you know?” about one answer. Explaining a method builds understanding faster than speed.
2. 2Keep counters or dried beans next to the sheet so your child can build and check each answer.
3. 3Let your child mark their own work with the answer key, then talk through any mistakes together.
