Click the button at the bottom of the worksheet and all the numbers are randomized, creating a new worksheet …. 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.
