Worksheet

How it is used

Teachers make, prepare, print and hand out worksheets; students complete or fill in them. Worksheets are often differentiated into easier and harder versions. Overusing them is sometimes criticized as 'worksheet teaching'.

Example sentences

1. Finish the worksheet with your partner, then we'll check the answers together.

2. I made two versions of the worksheet: one with a word bank and one without.
