Paper for the stage they are on

Which sheets come with which plan

• Free: a sheet for any stage from 1 to 19, the first four chapters.
• The Numbula plan: a sheet for any stage from 1 to 35, and sheets built from your child's own answers.
• As many printed sheets as you want, on either plan.

Kinds of sheet

Stage sheet

Up to 36 facts from one stage, easy ones first. The worked examples the app teaches with are always on it.

Review sheet

Stage 35. Facts that child has secured and is due to check come first, drawn at random. Their other secured facts fill the rest, then stage 34 if there are not enough.

A sheet from their answers

Comes with the Numbula plan. Facts the child missed or was slow on in the last two weeks come first, then the ones not secure yet.

What is on every sheet

• The strategy, printed at the foot of the page. Whoever is helping does not have to guess which method the child has been taught.
• Questions asked the way the app asks them. Dot pictures for the youngest, then "Double 7" and "3 groups of 4", and rows with a missing number such as □ + 3 = 8.
• An answer key on page two, with each question written out in full. Leave it off if you print on both sides.
• A line for a name, the date and a score. No timer and no stars.
• Up to 12, 24 or 36 questions, always on one page. Fewer rows leave more room to write. Large print costs nothing extra.

Practical

• A4 and US Letter. Black and white by design, so a school printer will not object.
• A stage sheet has no name on it, just a line to write one, so it can go to any child. A sheet built from one child's answers shows their first name and nothing else about them.
• Print as many as you want. There is no monthly allowance. A sheet stays the same all day unless they practice in between, and New sheet draws a different one.

How it fits the app

Worksheets read from the ladder but never write back to it. A fact your child gets right on paper does not become secure in Numbula, because Numbula did not see it happen. That is deliberate. The schedule only trusts what it measured itself.

Who this suits

• Parents who want something for the kitchen table that is not another screen.
• Tutors, who get the strategy printed and do not have to work out which method the child was taught.
