Introducing Custom Worksheets in Mathspace
Custom Worksheets lets you choose exactly the questions your class needs. No more flagging pages to skip in textbooks. Just the practice set your students actually need.
Pick the questions that matter — leave the rest behind
You know the moment. You're planning tomorrow's lesson, you flip to the textbook question set, and forty problems stare back at you. Your class needs maybe ten of them. The rest are warm-ups they nailed last week, or repeats of something you covered in Term 1, or just filler.
So you start flagging questions. Photocopying selected pages. Writing "skip 3, 7, and 11" on the board. It works, but it's a faff, and your class ends up with a worksheet that looks more like a treasure map than a practice set.
Custom Worksheets fixes that.
Build a worksheet in minutes, not lunchtimes
Choose the questions you want from our latest edition textbooks. Arrange them. Download a clean, formatted PDF.
You can pull the trickier word problems and skip the warm-ups. Mix in a few questions from last term for revision. Build a stretch worksheet for your strongest students and a focused one for the group who needs more practice on fractions. Every class gets exactly the practice that suits them and you don't lose your prep period to the photocopier.
The same flexibility you already have online — now in print
Custom Tasks have been a Mathspace favourite for years, and the reason is simple: you know your students best. You should be the one choosing what they practise.
Custom Worksheets brings that thinking to offline practice.
Online has its strengths — instant feedback, adaptive support, progress data the moment a student hits submit. Print has different strengths. Room to show working, fewer distractions, space for open-ended questions that stretch thinking in ways a screen sometimes can't.
The best teachers we work with don't pick one and stick with it. They choose what fits the lesson in front of them. Custom Worksheets means you can do that without trading away the precision of a curated question set.
Less paper, less waste, less overwhelm
Your students get a focused, less-overwhelming worksheet that targets exactly what they need. And if you’re printing, you’ll save a healthy stack of paper, and toner, by skipping the pages no one was ever going to do.
Get started
If you want to give it a try, reach out to your school/district consultant for early access. While the feature is in beta, some subtopics may not be available yet, but we’re working to make Custom Worksheets available across all subtopics in the near future.
