Group games where larger card sizes or different shapes are preferred

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I print the answers on the back of the cards?

In the settings, toggle 'Show Answer on Back' to 'Yes'. When you download the PDF, it will include a second page with answers aligned to print on the reverse side. For best results, select 'Flip on Short Edge' in your printer settings.

Can I create flash cards for addition and subtraction?

Yes. Choose 'Addition' or 'Subtraction' from the operation menu. You can set min and max values, for example 0-20 for basic facts or 0-100 for regrouping practice. The generator will pair numbers accordingly.

What's the best paper to use for these flash cards?

Cardstock (65-110 lb) is recommended for durability. For frequent use, laminate the cards after cutting. If you plan to write on them, use a dry-erase sleeve or laminate so you can reuse with a marker.

How can I focus on specific hard facts?

Use the 'Custom Facts' option to manually enter the equations you want. For example, type '7x8, 9x6, 12x11' to drill only those. You can also set number ranges narrowly, like 'Multiplication from 6 to 9'.
