Overview

A Worksheet is made up of one or more Sections:

A Section is where you set up the Type of problem and have control over different options:

(Not all combinations of options will make sense, it is up to you to use your judgement!)

Here are a few pointers for you:

Lowest, Highest and Decimals

Choose the Lowest and Highest numbers you want to see in the Questions. To make decimals, just select how many decimal places you want. Examples:

Question Range	Lowest	Highest	Decimals
1 to 10	1	10	0
0.1 to 2.0	0.1	2	1
0.00 to 0.90	0	0.9	2

Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division

These worksheets have a special option - a "2nd Number Range".

The "2nd Number Range" lets you create problems made of two different ranges of numbers, for example to multiply whole numbers by numbers with one decimal place, or to creat 6 times table problems by restricting the second number range to 6->6.

The worksheets behave differently depending on how you choose "2nd Number Range":

2nd Number Range?

What Happens

In this case the worksheet is free to choose, and will do the best it can. For example, with division it will have a larger number first and a smaller second, so that the answer falls within the range you requested.

Also, it will vary the decimal places within your limits to create an interesting range of problems.

Yes

In this case you are in charge of the range and decimal places of each number. You can even decide if the "2nd Range" type of number is in first, second or random position.

Caution: As a consequence, division problems cannot be made to come out neatly and so answers will be rounded.

Time

Time problems are in Minutes. If you want Midnight to Noon, use 0 to 720. If you want all day, use 1440.

Clocks

Our clocks only show accuracy to 5 minutes - we didn't want to create 1440 different sets of hands.

Page Breaks

If you are printing multi-page worksheets, you may want to insert the special "New Page" section to make neat page breaks (there is no way for us to automatically do this for you, printer settings vary too much). The page break is only active when printing.
