What's on this sheet

Every multiple of nine up to 81 has digits that add to nine: 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81. That gives a child a way to be sure a division is going to come out whole before they start, which is a rarer kind of confidence than knowing the answer.

Why this sheet works

There is a second pattern hiding in the same list. For those dividends, the answer is one more than the tens digit: 45 has a 4, so the answer is 5; 63 has a 6, so the answer is 7. It works all the way to 81 ÷ 9 = 9, and it is the sort of thing a child enjoys checking for themselves.

How this one works

One question from a sheet like this one, worked a step at a time — with a sentence saying what just happened and why.
