Edit and Print

Every teacher is different and it’s important to make sure you take the resources as a scaffold, rather than as per face value. We recommend you edit the worksheets to suit your class, (Don’t forget, you can share your edited content on Mash.ie!) and once you’re happy, you can print, display or whatever you wish!
