You already know what your child is stuck on.
Tilo turns that into a worksheet you can print in about a minute — practising that one thing, not a grab-bag of everything. And it explains the method to you, so helping doesn't end in an argument at the kitchen table.
Three steps, about a minute
You don't need to know what the curriculum calls it, or which grade it belongs to. You just need to know what keeps going wrong.
Say what's going wrong
Tilo opens with a list written the way parents actually describe it — not a syllabus. Click the one that sounds like your child.
Nudge it to fit
A worksheet appears straight away. Change anything you like — how many questions, how big the numbers get, how much help is on the page.
Print, or save the PDF
One button. Choose your printer, or "Save as PDF" to keep it on your phone for the school run. Add an answer key if you want one.
It explains the method to you, not just the answers
About half of parents say they can't help with primary maths because the way it's taught now isn't the way they learned it. Partial sums. Number bonds. Chunking. The grid method. You can do the sum perfectly and still not be able to explain it the way the teacher did.
Turn on Show me how and every section gets a short box at the top: one solved example, then the method in three plain sentences — written for the adult, not the child.
- Uses the real numbers from your sheet — the actual borrow, the actual carry.
- The worked example is never one of the questions, so nothing is given away.
- It comes from the same calculation as the answers, so it can't contradict them.
Add the units column first: that gives 12. Write the 2 underneath and carry the 1 into the next column.
Move left one column at a time, adding anything you carried.
The same skill, fresh questions, forever
Most worksheets get used once. Your child finishes it, and if the skill still hasn't stuck you're back to searching. Tilo generates the questions, so there's always another page.
New numbers, same skill
One button rerolls every question while keeping the exact skills and settings. Practise borrowing again tomorrow without rebuilding anything.
A week at a time
Print a dated sheet for each day — Monday to Friday, same skill, different questions. Hand over the stack and the routine runs itself.
The answer key can't be wrong
The answers are worked out by the same calculation that made the questions. They aren't typed in by anyone, so they can't drift or contain a typo.
A page that doesn't fight your child
If your child finds writing or number work physically hard, a normal worksheet can be the problem all by itself: too many questions crammed in, columns that drift, print too small to track.
- Four to a page instead of twenty. Same amount of practice, spread over more pages, so only a few are in front of them at once.
- A box for every digit. Columns stay lined up through borrowing and carrying instead of sliding sideways.
- Bigger text, more space, a wider font. Up to 150% without the layout falling apart.
- Nothing to copy out. Every question is printed, so the effort goes into the maths rather than the transcription.
Built for the ten minutes after school
A letter that keeps coming out backwards
Most alphabet pages give one line of each letter. Build a sheet that is just b, then just d, then words that use both — as many pages as it takes.
Maths taught a different way than you learned it
Every sheet can carry a short how to do these box showing the method the question expects, so you are not teaching against the school.
Ten minutes after school, not an hour
One page, dated, with room to write. Print Monday to Friday in one go on Sunday night so there is nothing to negotiate about on the day.
Writing is the hard part, not the maths
Set four questions to a page, a box for every digit, and larger print. A short sheet that gets finished beats a full one that gets abandoned.
Stuck on one times table
Narrow it to the 6s through 9s, print the study grid and then the blank one, and press new numbers for a fresh sheet every evening.
Homeschooling, so you make a lot of practice
Put handwriting and subtraction on the same page — whatever this week actually needs — instead of printing two half-empty sheets.
Questions parents ask
Is it really free?
Making and printing worksheets is free and unlimited. There's no account, no trial, and no card. You can print the same skill as many times as you need.
Do I need to know what grade my child is working at?
No. That's the point of starting from what's going wrong instead of a syllabus. There is a grade setting if you find it useful — it adjusts every option at once — but you can ignore it entirely and just tune the numbers until the page looks right.
Will it match the method school is teaching?
For column arithmetic, times tables, fractions, time, money and number bonds, yes — these are the standard methods. The Show me how box tells you exactly which method the page is using, so you can check it against your child's exercise book in a few seconds rather than guessing.
What ages is it for?
Roughly kindergarten to early secondary. The strongest coverage is early years and primary: letter and number formation, number bonds, ten frames, number lines, the four operations, fractions, decimals, time, money and place value.
Can I use it for more than one child?
Yes. Put a different name on the header, or print the same worksheet twice with different questions on each copy so they can't compare answers.
Where does my child's information go?
Nowhere. Everything runs in your browser. The name you type goes onto the printed page and into your own browser's storage so your work isn't lost — it isn't sent anywhere, because there's no server to send it to.
Can I save a worksheet and come back to it?
Yes. Your current worksheet is kept automatically, you can save named copies, and Copy link gives you a web address that rebuilds that exact worksheet — the same questions — on any device. Handy for sending to a grandparent or a tutor.
What's the one thing this week?
Pick it, print it, and see how they get on. If it doesn't stick, press New numbers and go again tomorrow.
