99 Club Help

Everything you need to create, review, save, share and recreate 99 Club progression sheets and post-99 challenges.

← Back to 99 Club
Quick start: add your school details, leave Classic 99 Club selected, choose a challenge, check the short rule summary, then generate and download. The standard Classic default is 5 minutes and three perfect attempts; the attempts do not need to be consecutive.

Make a worksheet in four steps

1

Personalise the sheet

Add the school name, year group, class, teacher, date and optional logo. Leave any field blank if you do not want it printed.

2

Choose what to make

Choose an 11–99 Club level or a Bronze–Diamond post-99 challenge. Classic 99 Club is the default progression.

3

Check the setup

Read the short rule summary and edit only if your school uses different timings, progression rules or question families.

4

Generate and download

Choose portrait or landscape, create one to four equivalent versions, review the questions and download the worksheet, answer key, or both.

Challenges and schemes

Schools use several versions of the 99 Club idea, so 99 Club Studio provides presets rather than claiming that one progression is nationally official. Classic 99 Club is the standard starting scheme in this app.

Classic 99 Club

The current Classic default is 5 minutes and 3 perfect attempts to advance. The three perfect scores do not need to be consecutive. Schools use different rules, so both the number of attempts and the consecutive/non-consecutive setting remain editable.

ChallengeDefault content
11 ClubDoubling
22 ClubRepeated addition
33–66 ClubProgressively broader multiplication-table fluency
77 ClubDivision / inverse facts
88–99 ClubMixed multiplication and division

Post-99 challenges

ChallengeCore content
BronzeMultiplication and exact division using all 1–12 tables
SilverAddition, subtraction, multiplication and division
GoldSilver content plus squares and exact square roots
PlatinumGold content plus order of operations / brackets
DiamondPlatinum content plus scaled facts, fractions of amounts, fraction addition/subtraction, fraction × whole number and percentages

Named Bronze–Diamond challenges keep their defining core maths switched on. You can still change how often each type appears, adjust useful ranges and add optional advanced families. If you want a completely different structure, save it as a custom preset.

Alternative 11–99 schemes

The scheme menu also includes Addition-first, Arithmetic-first, Missing-number progression and Tables-first presets. Each scheme keeps its own edits, so experimenting with one does not change your Classic rules.

Changing the rules

Most teachers will rarely need every control. The editor only shows controls that are relevant to the selected challenge.

Question count and time

Change the number of questions, time limit, perfect attempts and whether those attempts must be consecutive. The pupil instruction updates automatically.

Tables and number ranges

For the 11–99 progression, choose the table families and relevant factor/quotient ranges. Bronze–Diamond use all 1–12 basic facts as fixed core content.

Missing numbers

Choose multiplication and/or division and where the blank may appear, for example 7 × □ = 42 or 42 ÷ □ = 7.

Powers and roots

Set the base ranges for squares, square roots and cubes. Square-root questions use exact whole-number roots.

Order of operations

Choose which operations may appear and whether brackets are used.

Scaled facts

Controls questions such as 6 × 70 or 4200 ÷ 60. These settings are separate from the basic 1–12 table facts.

Duplicate handling

The generator can avoid exact repeats and can treat reversed multiplication facts such as 3 × 7 and 7 × 3 as the same fact.

Optional post-99 mental-maths extras

Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum and Diamond keep their defining core content, but teachers can add extra categories when they suit their school. These extras are not offered inside the 11–99 progression. That separation is deliberate: 11–99 stays simple and recognisable, while post-99 can broaden into concise mental maths.

The inclusion rule is simple: an extra should be short to read, quick to understand, realistically solvable mentally, and not depend on a diagram. Comparison-heavy, formal written-calculation and verbose problem-solving families are intentionally outside the rapid 99 Club extras.

Missing numbers & number

Missing +/− and ×/÷ values, negative numbers, Roman numerals, factors, multiples, factor pairs, common factors/multiples, squares, cubes, powers of 10 and simple algebraic missing values.

Fractions

Fractions now have their own post-99 category: fractions of quantities, equivalent/simplified fractions, mixed/improper conversion, fraction addition/subtraction, fraction × whole number, fraction × fraction and fraction ÷ whole number. Diamond includes fractions of amounts, +/− and fraction × whole number in its core mix.

Decimals & percentages

Decimal place value and rounding, decimal ×/÷ 10/100/1000, concise decimal calculations, percentages of quantities and fraction↔decimal↔percentage equivalence. Number-comparison families are not included here.

Mental calculation

Scaled multiplication/division, order of operations and short angle facts such as complements to 90°, 180° or 360°.

Ratio & proportion

Compact equivalent-ratio, ratio-sharing and scale-factor calculations. Longer contextual ratio/rate problems are intentionally outside the rapid 99 Club extras.

Measurement & time

Metric unit conversions, time-unit conversions, durations, 12/24-hour time, time words, calendar facts, money/change, temperature intervals and simple stated metric/imperial approximations. No clocks, rulers or other graphical measuring tasks are generated here.

Mean

Short arithmetic-mean calculations from a small list of values. Broader statistics interpretation is intentionally excluded here because it normally depends on tables or graphs.

Options appear only when relevant

For example, decimal extras expose decimal-place and size limits; fractions expose denominator/quantity choices; percentage questions expose percentage and quantity choices; ratio questions expose ratio size limits; Roman numerals expose a maximum value; angle facts expose 90°/180°/360° totals; and mean exposes the largest data value. Measurement/time extras use deliberately small, fixed mental-maths constructions rather than adding a large set of range controls.

The optional-extra list is maintained as a single registry in the app, so a future teacher-feedback change can add or remove a category without redesigning the whole 99 Club interface.

What does “weight” mean?

Weight controls frequency, not difficulty. A type with weight 4 is chosen about twice as often as a type with weight 2. The numbers do not need to add to 100.

Addition1
Division2
Fractions1

In that example, division gets roughly half of the available questions, while addition and fractions each get roughly a quarter. The editor shows the approximate percentage and question count beside each weight.

The exact final counts can vary slightly because the total must be a whole number of questions and the generator also tries to keep the selection balanced.

Fractions

Decimals

Decimal families are available as optional additions to mixed/advanced 99 Club rules, including place value, rounding, ×/÷ by 10/100/1000, decimal addition/subtraction, upper-KS2 multiplication/division and fraction/decimal/percentage equivalence. Decimal comparison is intentionally excluded from the rapid mental-maths extras. The standard Classic progression is unchanged unless you explicitly edit its rules.

Diamond fraction profile: the default Diamond challenge uses fractions of amounts, fraction addition/subtraction and proper-fraction × whole-number questions. Its +/− questions use the same denominator or related denominators where one is a multiple of the other, and can include mixed-number calculations.

Fractions of quantities

The denominator buttons choose which denominator families may appear. Selecting denominator 5 can produce 1/5, 2/5, 3/5 or 4/5; it does not mean “1/5 only”.

The fractions-of-quantities generator uses proper fractions, so the numerator is smaller than the denominator. It varies numerator, denominator and quantity automatically. Custom denominators can be entered as a comma-separated list such as 7, 9, 11, 15.

Examples:2/3 of 605/7 of 567/12 of 96

The generator only uses combinations that give a whole-number answer.

Percentages of quantities

The standard buttons cover 5% steps from 5% to 100%. You can add other whole-number percentages, for example 37%, 42%, in the custom box. The % sign is optional when typing them.

Examples:37% of 200 = 7442% of 50 = 21

As with fractions, The generator chooses suitable quantities so the generated answer is a whole number.

Review the questions before you print

The preview is meant to be editable. If one question is not suitable, use the circular-arrow button beside it to replace just that question. On desktop the button appears when you move over the question; on a touch screen it stays visible.

Replacement stays in the same category. A fraction is replaced by another fraction, a square root by another square root, a multiplication fact by another multiplication fact, and so on. The replacement also follows the rules currently selected for that category.

You can replace the same question more than once. 99 Club Studio keeps the final reviewed worksheet for the recreate/QR feature; discarded versions are not included.

Shuffle questions changes the order without changing the challenge rules. If you later recreate the sheet using its Full recreation code or teacher QR, the final reviewed order is restored.

The level is shown by its achievement badge in the top-right of the sheet. The badge replaces the old repeated text title, so the worksheet stays cleaner while the child can still see immediately which stage they are working on.

The preview follows the same page layout as the downloaded PDF. Headers, QR panel, question positions, column spacing and footer therefore use the same A4 coordinates. A browser and a PDF viewer may anti-alias text slightly differently, but the page geometry is the same.

On a phone, the preview keeps the real page proportions instead of squeezing the worksheet into the screen width. The preview is shown at a readable size inside a horizontal scroller; swipe sideways to inspect the rest of a portrait or landscape page. Tap a question to reveal its ↻ replacement control.

Teacher note on the answer sheet

Step 4 includes an optional teacher note of up to 240 characters. It prints only at the end of the answer sheet, never on the pupil worksheet. Use it for brief future-reference notes such as a class misconception, a reminder to revisit a topic, or the reason a particular variant was used.

Saving, sharing and protecting your work

For everyday use, 99 Club Studio saves automatically in your browser. You do not need to press Save after every change. Browser saving is convenient, but it is not an online account or cloud backup.

Save as reusable preset

Use this when you have a rule set you want to choose again, such as Year 6 Diamond – Autumn. The preset is saved in this browser.

Export this setup

Downloads one setup file. Use it to send one configuration to a colleague or archive one particular challenge without moving everything else.

Full browser backup

Downloads a safety copy of everything 99 Club Studio has saved in this browser: custom presets, challenge edits, current sheets, school details and logo.

Restore full backup

Use a Full backup to move all your 99 Club Studio work to another browser/device or recover after site data has been cleared. A safety copy is kept before restoring.

Cache and site data are different. Clearing an ordinary browser cache normally leaves 99 Club Studio's saved data alone. Clearing site data/storage, using private browsing, changing browser profile, or moving to another device can remove it. Download a Full backup for anything you would be unhappy to lose.

Home practice & school use

99 Club practice can be shared with families without giving parents the full teacher editor. A parent-practice link keeps the school's chosen Club level and maths rules fixed, then creates a fresh worksheet and matching answers each time the parent downloads one.

Parent-generated sheets use the school's public name and logo when those were included in the shared setup, and print the date the sheet is generated rather than carrying an old teacher-entered worksheet date.

Schools can publish those practice choices as ordinary links or buttons, ready-made cards, downloadable PNG tiles, or an optional 99 Club website widget.

Need to put it on a school website? The separate School Website Integration guide covers links, cards, widgets, updating published practice and handing the setup to another member of staff.

Recreate an exact worksheet

Sheet code

Every worksheet has a short code such as C99-G1-7FK2M9-A. It identifies the challenge and the exact worksheet version needed to reproduce the same questions. For a normal built-in preset, entering the code is the quickest way to recreate that sheet.

If edited or custom rules were used, use the Full recreation code, teacher QR or saved setup so those rules are restored as well.

Full recreation code

This is a longer copy-and-paste code for one exact worksheet. It carries its rules, teacher note and a compact description of the final reviewed question set/order. It is useful when you want to send an exact sheet digitally without sending a backup file.

Teacher QR

The answer-key PDF can include a QR. Scan it to open 99 Club Studio and restore that exact reviewed sheet. The QR describes the current final sheet only; if you replaced a question several times, only the final reviewed version is restored.

The QR is only placed on teacher/answer copies. Pupil worksheets do not contain it. School name, teacher/class details, the logo and the optional teacher note are deliberately left out of the QR. The note still prints on the answer sheet and is preserved by setup/full-backup files and Full recreation codes.

Common situations

“I use the same laptop every week.”

Do nothing special. 99 Club Studio remembers your current settings automatically. Save a reusable preset only for rule sets you want to select by name later.

“I want my colleague to use my Year 6 Gold setup.”

Open that setup and choose Export this setup. Send the downloaded setup file to your colleague; they can import it without replacing their other saved 99 Club Studio work.

“I am clearing browser data or changing computer.”

Download a Full browser backup first. On the new/clean browser choose Restore full backup and check your presets before deleting the original copy.

“I restored the wrong backup.”

Use Undo last restore. 99 Club Studio keeps the browser state that existed immediately before a Full backup was restored.

“I found an old teacher answer sheet.”

Scan its QR. If it has no QR, enter the sheet code for a standard preset or use the Full recreation code if you archived it.

“I changed individual questions before printing.”

Keep the teacher answer PDF or copy the Full recreation code. Both restore the final reviewed worksheet, including replacements and shuffle order.
