Worksheets

Completing worksheets is a typical practice activity used primarily in the classroom and for homework. Software is available that provides for the generation of worksheets in a variety of formats. This may be timesaving for teachers with students with different abilities in a class, allowing for customized worksheets. Students then complete the worksheets with a writing or marking tool. It provides a way for students to reproduce the problems in a legible format.

Other software programs are available for students who have difficulty using pencil and paper to complete math problems or who can be more independent interacting with computer programs having speech output. These programs provide a forum for the student to solve the problems independently using a computer. Because these worksheets can be accessed via the computer, any input method can be used: touch screen, mouse, trackball, expanded keyboard, etc.
