More about these tools

Mental math sheets write the problems across with no working space, and most keep to one strategy, such as adding 9. Minute drills pack 30, 60 or 100 facts into a grid for a run against your own timer. One more page builds every sheet on the numbers 6, 7 and 67. Every sheet is built in your browser, changes its numbers each time you press Make a new sheet, and prints on Letter or A4. Every sheet with answers prints its key after the sheet.
