Yes. At the click of a button all numbers (and visual supports) are randomized, creating a new worksheet with different numbers …. as many times as you want. This means you can individualize the worksheets to the level you want, making one worksheet for the whole class to a different one for each students (and all stops in between). It also means a level can be repeated as many times as needed throughout the year to consolidate the required skills and knowledge.
