What’s new

Everything that changed, and when.

Lessonpress is built by one person, mostly in the evenings, and a good share of what follows started as someone writing in to say something was wrong. If you find a problem, tell me about it.

August 20264

  • Fixed

    Printed worksheets keep their margin where a question breaks across a page

    An oversized question could push its page break to the very edge of the paper, leaving almost no bottom margin on that sheet.

  • Fixed

    The worksheet footer stays one size

    It used to grow along with the text-size setting and crowd the last question.

  • Improved

    Writing space now follows handwriting standards for each grade

    Every grade had been getting lines spaced for college rule — the paper sold to high schoolers. Lines now follow Zaner-Bloser: 1.125in apart in kindergarten down to 0.375in in grade 5, with grade 2 at 0.75in. Answer boxes grew to match. Nothing to switch on, and it applies to worksheets you have already saved.

  • Fixed

    The page count in the preview matches what your printer produces

    The preview counted cards on screen rather than sheets of paper, so it could read one short.

July 202630

  • Fixed

    Money questions vary across a worksheet again

    The rule added on the 29th to stop a question answering itself had been read too literally, and five of six money questions on a sheet were coming out near-identical.

  • Fixed

    Multiple-choice options print with their A/B/C/D labels

    The letters were in the worksheet but a stylesheet was hiding them, so printed options had no labels to circle.

  • Fixed

    Grade 2 and 3 worksheets no longer print a blank final sheet

  • Fixed

    A long question flows onto the next sheet instead of being cut off

  • New

    Text size and writing space are adjustable per worksheet

    Two sliders on the worksheet, so you can keep normal text with roomier lines, or larger print for a child who writes small. The grade default is already correct — this is for when you know your class.

  • Fixed

    Money answer keys add up to the coins on the page

    An answer key could disagree with the coins actually drawn — a question showing 65¢ with a key reading 66 cents. The coins are now added up and the answer written from that total, and the total can no longer be printed beside the question. Applies to newly generated worksheets; regenerate anything you saved before this date.

  • Improved

    More of the class score grid fits on screen

    Columns are compact by default, with a Roomy toggle if you preferred the old spacing.

  • New

    Start from a situation on the Explore page

    Pick what you are trying to do rather than hunting for the feature that does it.

  • Improved

    A request the AI declines now explains itself

    It used to look like a crash. You also get a warning if a prompt contains what looks like a student's name.

  • New

    Grading periods on the student detail page

  • New

    Jump back in to what you had open

    Recently opened classes, worksheets and students appear in search and at the top of the mobile menu.

  • New

    Search anything with ⌘K

    Worksheets, standards, classes, students and actions, from any screen.

  • New

    A notification bell for things waiting on you

    Results to record, standards worth reteaching, students ready to stretch — in one place instead of scattered across pages.

  • New

    A Growth tab in Insights

    Which students moved, and on what, across all of your classes rather than one at a time.

  • Improved

    A worksheet shows its own results once you have scored it

  • New

    Score a class straight down a column

    Keys 1 to 4 score the current student and move to the next one. No mouse.

  • Improved

    Translation works in both directions

    Spanish back to English as well as English to Spanish, and the learning guide follows the worksheet's language.

  • Improved

    Each question shows its standard on multi-standard worksheets

  • New

    Add a worksheet to a class from the worksheet itself

  • New

    At home is a permanent door in the sidebar

    Both the classroom and home sides of the app are reachable at once.

  • New

    Grading-period presets

    Pick Semesters, Trimesters or Quarters and give the school year's start and end dates. Setup went from typing four names and eight dates to one dropdown and two dates. Every period stays editable afterwards.

  • Improved

    Class reports read like report cards

    Plain-language summaries per student, and the score grid's header row stays put while you scroll.

  • New

    Load sample data into your own account

    A wired-up sample classroom so the grid, reports and Insights have something in them while you look around. One click to remove it, and it never touches classes you made yourself.

  • Improved

    No more choosing between classroom and home

    You get whichever sides you actually use, based on whether you have made a class or added a child.

  • Improved

    Sign up with Google in one click

    No email round-trip before you can see your first worksheet.

  • New

    An Explore page listing everything the app does

    Grouped by what you are trying to accomplish, with anything needing Pro marked as such.

  • New

    Quiet suggestions where they are relevant

    A standard your class is weak on, a student ready for harder work — surfaced on the page where you would act on it, and only when your own data warrants it. Switch them off in Account → Customization.

  • New

    Grading periods

    Name your semesters, trimesters or quarters and the score grid and class reports filter to the one you pick.

  • New

    A per-subject summary on each student

  • New

    An interactive demo at demo.lesson.press

    A full classroom to click around in, with no account. Everyone gets their own copy, so nothing you do there affects anyone else.
