Before the Coffee Kicked In

I used to draw Noah a worksheet every morning. The ritual was good. My ability to invent a fresh maths problem, writing prompt, physical exercise, and drawing challenge before coffee was less reliable.

So I kept the sheet and outsourced the blank-page moment. The template generates the four sections on the server, and each refresh produces a different set of prompts and problems.

It works on an iPad, but I still prefer printing it. The machine can make the questions. Noah should get to attack them with a pencil.
