What we found while checking the files

October 26, 2026 · Maintainer file checks

These examples come from inspecting the actual worksheet sources, rendered pages, and PDF files. They describe reproducible file checks. They are not reports of a child using the worksheets, parent testimonials, or a physical-printer test.

1. A mirrored triangle could also be a rotated match

In the spatial-rotation activity, the original right triangle had equal legs. A reflected copy of that triangle can be obtained by turning the original, so using a “flipped” flag in the source did not make an option wrong. The original L shape also had equal arms. We compared the actual polygon vertices under turns and reflections and found that the choices did not reliably distinguish those operations.

The triangle now has unequal legs and the L shape unequal arm lengths. The geometry check requires exactly one choice to match by turning without reflection. To try the activity, follow the shorter side around the shape while turning the page mentally; do not use the color alone.

2. A correct endpoint hid an invalid intermediate move

In problem 2 of Code Maze 5, the robot starts in row 3, column 4. The old commands were up, up, left, left, up, down. The fifth move left the top of the 4×4 grid, even though the last move returned to a valid final square. Checking only the destination missed that error.

The last two commands are now down, up. The route is (3,4) → (2,4) → (1,4) → (1,3) → (1,2) → (2,2) → (1,2). Every move remains inside the grid and the destination is still option B. The check now validates every intermediate square. These grids have no internal walls; earlier parent guidance that mentioned walls has been corrected.

3. A section needed another clue

A two-dimensional section does not always identify one solid. A triangle can be cut from a cone, but other solids can also have triangular sections with suitable cuts. Asking for one answer without specifying enough conditions encourages an unsupported elimination.

The reverse-section sheets now include a face clue beside the section. For example, “one circular base and one vertex” identifies the cone among the choices. The explanation uses both pieces of information and does not claim that the section alone rules out every other solid.

4. A recognizable net still had mismatched edges

The cylinder net showed two equal circles and a rectangle, but the rectangle was shorter than the circumference it needed to wrap around. The rectangular-prism net used four equal side widths while its top and bottom required two different widths. The pictures looked like nets without having compatible dimensions.

The cylinder rectangle now matches the circle circumference. The prism’s side widths alternate to match its two base dimensions. This was a proportion check in the source and rendered file; it was not a claim that a child cut out and folded the page. You can inspect the matching edges in the current diagram.

What the PDF checks establish

We regenerate downloads when the printable changes, check their page count and A4 page box, and inspect representative renders. This checks the file layout. A printer’s scaling, margins, ink, and paper can still affect the physical result. If your print differs from the preview, report the worksheet URL, language, scaling setting, and the affected area through the contact page.

To contribute a real use example, tell us which worksheet was used, where the learner hesitated, and what explanation helped. We distinguish those observations from the file checks above and do not invent user experiences.
