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.

- 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.
