Shapebooks
A shapebook is a book that is in the shape of a particular object. The text of the book is printed inside of the shape. For example, you may have written something (a story, a poem, a series of facts...) about apples. When you create a shapebook your text is automatically formatted to fit inside of an outline in the shape of an apple (or whatever shape you choose). Cut out the outline and you have an apple-shaped book about apples! Here is a sample.

Word Walls
A word wall is a formatted list of words. Word walls can be printed in large letters, suitable for displaying on a wall for group instruction, or in smaller letters to create worksheets. Color may be used to highlight different letter combinations. Here is a sample.

Word Search Puzzles
A word search puzzle is a group of words hidden in a grid of random letters. Words may be hidden within the puzzle in any direction. Easier puzzles have shorter words and smaller grids, and limit the directions of the hidden words to 'left to right' and 'down'. Harder puzzles include longer words, larger grids, and words hidden in any direction. Puzzles typically include a list of the hidden words below the puzzle, and a puzzle solution showing the circled words.
Word search puzzles built with the abcteach word search tool may be generated in standard rectangular sizes, or in a number of other available pre-formatted shapes. There are three difficulty levels to choose from, and puzzles may be printed in a variety of fonts, font sizes, colors, and border options. Here is a sample.

Word Unscrambles
A word unscramble is a list of words and phrases whose letters have been mixed up. Each scrambled word or phrase is followed by a space in which to write the unscrambled words. The list is numbered, so that the scrambled words and phrases may be easily matched to the unscrambled solutions, which are provided on the following page. Here is a sample.

Crossword Puzzles
A crossword puzzle is a group of words that have been arranged horizontally and vertically so that each word crosses at least one other word at a common letter. The puzzle itself doesn't show the words, only the spaces where the words should be written. A list of numbered clues is matched to numbers placed in spaces on the puzzle where each word starts.
Crossword puzzles built with the abcteach crossword tool may be generated in custom sizes. Puzzles may be printed in a variety of fonts, font sizes, colors, and border options. Here is a sample.

Math Worksheets
A math worksheet is a set of related math problems. Solving the math problems may require simple arithmetic, algebraic, geometric, or statistical calculation, but one worksheet will typically present multiple variations of a single type of problem, so that students get practice with one particular mathematical operation or principle.The math worksheets at abcteach are organized into age-appropriate levels, covering topics from basic math concepts through geometry. A solution page is provided with every worksheet, no matter how simple or hard it is. Here is a sample.

Sudoku
Sudoku is a logic puzzle. It is typically presented as a square grid with 9 squares to a side. Thick grid lines emphasize each block of 9 squares. The grid is partially filled with the numbers 1 through 9. To solve the puzzle, the empty squares should be filled in so that each row, column, and block contain each of the numbers 1 through 9. There is only one correct answer. Either 4 square or 9 square sudoku can be created using the abcteach sudoku tool. A setting is available for difficulty. This difficulty level controls how many squares are initially filled in on your sudoku. Our sudoku may be fully, partially, or not hinted. They are available with both number and dot hinting, and the hinting style and percent may be changed without changing the puzzle. Every puzzle includes an answer page. Here is a sample.
