The Print ShopCharts and grids
The references a lesson is done against
8 sheets with no problems on them: hundred charts blank and filled, number lines at the interval you choose, coordinate grids with and without negative numbers, and place-value columns down to thousandths.

Each of these is a page that is itself the sheet — open it, press print, and that is the whole of it. Only the blank hundred chart has a second page, because it is the only one of the eight that withholds anything.
Counting
The two references a child counts on: a chart, and a line.
- Hundred chart — The numbers 1 to 100 in ten rows of ten, printed at three quarters of an inch to a square — the wall chart, filled in.
- Blank hundred chart — The same hundred squares with the numbers left out, to be filled in — and the completed chart on the page behind it.
- Number line, 0 to 20 — Six identical strips numbered 0 to 20, a tick every 1, spaced to cut apart with scissors.
- Number line to 100 — Three strips running 0 to 100 with a tick at every number and a printed numeral every five.
Place value
Columns to write a number into, one digit to a box.
- Place value chart — Four columns — thousands, hundreds, tens and ones — with eight rows to write numbers into, one digit to a box.
- Decimal place value chart — Six columns from hundreds down to thousandths, with the decimal point ruled where it belongs and eight rows to write in.
Plotting
Axes to find a point on, with and without negative numbers.
- Coordinate grid, first quadrant — A first-quadrant grid with both axes numbered 1 to 10, and nothing negative anywhere on it.
- Four quadrant grid — Both axes running −10 to 10, crossing in the middle of the page, with every gridline numbered.
A reference sheet only has to be right
There is nothing on any of these pages to answer, which means there is nowhere for a mistake in one to hide.
A worksheet can be marked. A chart cannot: a child measures against it, counts along it and trusts it, and if a number line has a hundred intervals and a hundred ticks then the sheet is wrong and nothing on the page will say so. So the counting here is arithmetic rather than appearance — a line to 20 has twenty-one ticks, a hundred chart has ten rows of ten with nothing missing off the end, a grid that runs to 10 has eleven gridlines each way, and a heading is printed inside the column it names rather than laid out beside it.
The lengths are in real units for the same reason. Everything else on this site scales with the age of the child using it; a sheet of paper must not, because three quarters of an inch is three quarters of an inch or it is nothing. And every rule is drawn as ink rather than as a background color, because browsers throw background color away when printing unless somebody has ticked a box in the print dialog — which is how a perfectly good chart comes out of the printer as a page of empty squares.
What is a setting is the sheet itself. The range on a chart, the interval on a line, how far the axes run, which places the columns hold: all four are controls in the builder, so a number line every 2 to 30 or a chart from 101 to 200 is the same page with one number moved. There are eight pages here rather than eighty because eight is what a parent actually asks for, and the rest is a stepper.
And the two that live next door
A multiplication chart is on the math shelf, blank with the completed twelve-by-twelve square on the page behind it — it is the times-table family with the grid switched on rather than a chart of its own. Squared, dotted and isometric paper is on the paper shelf, where everything comes on both Letter and A4: a quarter-inch square scaled to fit whatever was in the tray is no longer a quarter-inch square.
The rest of the Print Shop
Ten shelves and ten school years, over the same sheets. A shelf is what a sheet is; a year is who it was drawn for, which every sheet states on its own page.

Your child’s name is not in the file
Where a sheet here has a Name: line at all, it is printed blank and filled in with a pencil. No account is needed to print anything, nothing is uploaded, and a sheet you send to another family carries the settings you chose and nothing else — see what we don’t collect.
