Questions before you start
Can I ask for different levels of support?
Describe the support the task needs, such as a worked first step or clearer vocabulary. Keep the learning goal explicit and check whether the supported version still asks pupils to think.
Should I trust the answer key?
Check every answer yourself, including reasoning, units and alternative valid methods. The answer key is part of the draft, not a substitute for review.
Can I turn an existing task into a worksheet?
Use only material you have permission to share. Describe the learning goal and the changes you need, then check the result against the original purpose.
Can I download it in a particular format?
The recorded export demonstration shows the export menu and a PDF output. The formats available in your account depend on the product experience you are using; check the options in your account.
Bring the practice your class needs next.
