Printing

Every printable page opens as a plain black-on-white sheet, and your own browser does the printing — nothing to install, on an iPad, a Chromebook, a laptop or a phone.

What you can print

• The class record: the Summary tab of a Mastery Board, then Print. Every child down the side, every unit across the top, an average for each and a class average row. A square reading abs was absent or exempt, and a blank square was not assessed.
• A child's summary: open the child, then Print summary.
• A report: the Reports tab, then Print. It prints the unit on screen, or the whole board on All units.
• Small groups: the Small groups tab, then Print, once the unit has groups.
• A sheet to mark on paper: the Assessments tab, then Documents, then Assessment sheet. One blank sheet, meant one per child: a name and a date, a box for absent, the words to circle, the choices to ring or a line for the points, and a box for notes.

Documents, beside the unit's name, is everything this unit has on paper: the files kept on it in the template — the test you photocopy, its scoring guide — and, last in the menu, the Assessment sheet the app makes from the unit. A PDF and the assessment sheet open in a tab of their own with the print window already up; a Word or Excel file, or a picture, saves to your computer instead.

Choosing how it prints

A report and small groups ask first. What to print is the objective on screen or every one, each on its own page; for groups, Pages is All groups on one page or Each group on its own page, with ruled lines for notes. Orientation is Portrait or Landscape, and Print in is Color or Black and white — colour keeps the level colours, black and white saves toner. Both open in a new tab with the print window already up, and the choices sit above the sheet if you change your mind.

The class record and a child's summary ask nothing. They open in the same tab and say Ready to print at the top: use your browser's own Print command. A sheet to mark on asks nothing either, and opens in a new tab with the print window already up — close it to go back to the sheet, and your browser's Print command opens it again.

The strip at the top of a printable page — the choices, and the button that prints — is never printed. To keep a file rather than paper, choose Save as PDF in the print window.

To keep the whole board as a spreadsheet rather than as paper, Excel at the top of the board, then Export Board, saves every unit as a tab of one Excel file, with its colours and its arithmetic: see Taking a board to Excel.
