How it works, in four steps

  1. Type what you teach next, like “grade 5 fractions quiz”, or browse by grade, subject and unit.

  2. Worksheet, quiz, homework, exit card, lesson plan and more. Tick one or several for the same lesson.

  3. Take the ready-made copy, or have a fresh one written for your class. You pick the level, language support and print colour. The price is on the button.

  4. Every file is saved as PDF and Word, with slides for a lesson plan. Download it now or any time later.

Questions teachers ask

Where are my files?

In My files. Find it any time at My files. Every file you get or make is saved there, and you can download it again whenever you like. The download links refresh each time you open the page.

Units, course bundles and free samples you ordered from the store are in My files too, under Store purchases. Download everything opens the order with the whole unit in one zip.

Can I change a file after it's made?

Yes, two ways. Every file comes as a Word document as well as a PDF, so you can edit wording, names or numbers yourself.

For a bigger change, like a different level or English support, open the same lesson and choose Make my own version. That makes a new version and keeps the first one in My files. The new version shows its price on the button before you press it.

What does “Make my own version” do?

It writes a fresh version of the file for your class. Choose it and its options appear just below. You choose the level: On level (as taught), Extra support (same goal, smaller steps) or Challenge (same goal, more stretch). You can add Language support, go a grade below, pick a print colour, and add a short note about your class, like a 6/7 split or a hockey theme. Get it now is the ready-made copy, so it has no options.

It takes a few minutes; longer files, like an assignment or project, take up to 10. You can leave the page while it's made; it lands in My files. Please don't put student names in the note.

Can I use these with ESL and IEP students?

Yes. Under Make my own version, Language support gives students who are learning English simpler wording and more help with the language, while keeping the same learning goal as the rest of the class.

For a student with an IEP, Extra support breaks the same goal into smaller steps, and a grade below gives easier material on the same goal. You can combine English support with either. Check any version against the student's own plan before you hand it out.

Why does a quiz keep supports light?

A quiz or unit test is there to show what a student can do on their own. So it keeps supports light at every level: you can still pick a level, but it won't add the hints and worked steps a practice sheet has.

For practice with full support, make a worksheet or homework at Extra support, then use the quiz to check.

Can I download everything at once?

Yes. In My files, press Download all to get every ready file in one zip, or tick the ones you want and press Download selected. A single file still downloads in one click.

A unit from the store comes as one zip per lesson, numbered in teaching order, plus the assessments and a read-me. Find it under Store purchases.

Are there free lessons?

Yes. Many units have a free lesson: open the unit and press the free lesson button. Sign in with your email, there's nothing to pay, and the files land in My files.

A new account also gets its first few generated files free, so you can try Make my own version before you spend anything.

What does a credit buy?

Anything here: one file, a whole unit or a full course, all from one balance. Prices are shown on every button, in credits, before you press it, and nothing is spent until you do.

Credits come with a membership each month, or as a top-up. Top-up credits never expire; unspent membership credits can. Credits and membership has the plans and the details.
