“The shapes on page two are not to scale.”

The idea is right and my class needed exactly this, but two of the rectangles do not match the measurements printed on them, so the children who measured with a ruler got a different answer to the children who added the labels. Easy fix, and I will happily raise it again once it is done.

“Good value, and the answers are actually on it.”

Small thing, but half the free sheets online expect you to work the answers out yourself. My TA can run a group on this without a briefing first.

“Fine, though the font is small for my class.”

The maths is right and the sequence is sensible. Several of my children needed it enlarged to A3, which is easy enough but worth knowing before you print thirty.
