Maths worksheets for non-mouse users

A downloadable Microsoft Word maths worksheet for children who use switches or other alternative devices. The worksheet should work in Microsoft Word, version 97 and onwards.

To type a number, the student steers their pointing device to the relevant grey area and clicks inside it. A number can then be typed.

Ok, so there’s plenty of special needs software that will handle the job of recording maths a lot more efficiently than this (our own Number Navigator software, for example), but many people already have access to Microsoft Word, and this worksheet may provide a means of assessing the student’s capabilities before committing to the expense of additional software. Download the maths worksheet (Word document, 32k) and the instruction sheet (Word document, 32k) from the menu on the right.
