What is on every sheet
Written for one grade

Facts before questions
Every sheet prints the facts it rests on in a box at the top — the framework, not the answers — so a student can work through it without a textbook open beside them.
An answer key
Every question has a checked answer, printed on its own page at the end so the worksheet can be handed out without it.
