Accuracy & Printing

How I check the charts before you print.

Each answer is calculated from the rule behind the chart. I also check that your range, practice mode, colours, and paper settings carry through to the file you download. Your printer has the final say on margins and scale, so I’ve included a few checks below.

01

How are the answers checked?

Multiplication answers are calculated from the number at the top of the column and the number at the start of the row. Other charts follow the rule shown on their page. I check the expected answers, along with the smallest and largest choices, whenever a chart changes.

02

Will the download match the preview?

Yes. Your range, practice mode, missing numbers, colours, paper size, and page direction carry over to the PDF or PNG. I compare the labels, answers, blank spaces, and colours so the file you save matches what you chose on screen.

03

Which paper should I choose?

Choose A4 if that is the paper normally used in your printer, or US Letter if you are in the United States or Canada. Both work in portrait and landscape. Before printing a class set, check the print preview because printer margins and scaling can still change the final page.

04

What if something looks wrong?

Send me the page link and a short note about what you expected to see. For a download or printing problem, it also helps to know the file type, paper size, browser, and print setting. I will use those details to recreate the problem and fix it.

Your choices

What can I change in the chart maker?

Choose a range from 1 to 100, then pick the kind of practice, colour style, and paper that suit the job. You can change these choices at any time and see the new chart straight away.

1–100

Choose your range

Start and end anywhere from 1 to 100.

3

Ways to practise

Use a filled, blank, or missing-number chart.

5

Colour styles

Pick Ocean, Spectrum, Pastel, Mono, or Ink Saver.

2

Paper sizes

Print on A4 or US Letter paper.

Chart modes

What does each chart mode do?

  • Filled charts show every answer and work well as a reference or answer key.
  • Blank charts leave the answers open for written practice.
  • Missing-number charts leave a selection of gaps to fill in.

Before printing

What should you check before printing?

  • Choose A4 or US Letter to match the paper in your printer.
  • Use the suggested orientation when a chart is especially wide or dense.
  • Select actual size or 100% when the print dialog offers scaling options.
  • Use a black-and-white or ink-saver version for larger classroom sets.

Spot something wrong?

How should you report a problem?

Send me the chart page and tell me what went wrong. If the problem is in a download or printout, include the file type, paper size, and browser too. That is usually enough for me to track it down.
