Teaching made beautifully simple.

Differ is a worksheet generator created to make teachers’ lives easier, with Maths and Handwriting activities in one app.

Choose an activity, customise it to suit your learners, and Differ creates a ready-to-use worksheet in seconds.

Change things like number ranges, difficulty levels, the number of questions, language, handwriting lines, headings, group icons and more.

You choose what your learners need. Differ does the rest.

Differ was created from a real classroom need.

We know what it’s like to teach a class where learners are working at different levels, time is limited and expectations are high.

Creating lesson-specific, differentiated worksheets shouldn’t take up the little time teachers have left. That’s why we created Differ.

Differ is designed especially for Foundation Phase teachers and Grades 1–3, but it can also be used by parents, tutors and other educators looking for quick, customisable maths and handwriting resources.

Differ was created with the South African Foundation Phase classroom in mind and includes activities relevant to the maths concepts and handwriting skills taught across Grades 1–3.

Because every classroom and learner is different, you choose the activities, number ranges and difficulty levels that are appropriate for what you’re teaching.

Differ is designed to support your teaching. You’re still the teacher; we’re just here to make the worksheet part much easier.

Differ is available on the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store.

Search for “Differ Education” in your device’s app store, download the app and start creating.

Yes! Differ includes 3 activities that are always free to use: Addition and Subtraction; Before, Between and After; and Count Forwards and Backwards. You can use all the available customisation features when creating those worksheets.

Want to try everything else? Start a 7-day free trial and explore all of Differ.

Everything! For 7 days you’ll have access to all the available Maths and Handwriting activities and features, and you can create unlimited worksheets.

Your trial gives you the chance to properly use Differ in your classroom and see whether it’s right for you.

Unless you cancel before your trial ends, your free trial automatically continues as the subscription option you selected when you started it.

Your subscription is managed through your Apple App Store or Google Play account. If Differ isn’t for you, simply cancel your trial before it renews.

Differ offers monthly, 3-monthly and annual subscriptions. See Pricing above.

The latest pricing for your device and region is always shown in the Apple App Store or Google Play Store before you subscribe.

Your Differ subscription is designed to help you create resources for your own teaching and learners.

You may print, save and send your worksheets to your learners and their parents, but Differ worksheets may not be mass-shared, uploaded to public resource libraries or distributed to unrelated teachers unless Differ has specifically made that resource available for sharing.

No. Differ worksheets are licensed for your own educational use and may not be resold, included in commercial worksheet packs, uploaded to teaching-resource marketplaces or used to create a competing resource library or product. See our Terms & Conditions.

We’d love to hear them! Differ was created for teachers, and your feedback helps us decide what to improve and what to build next.

If there’s an activity, feature or improvement you’d love to see in Differ, send your suggestion to hello@differ.co.za. Your idea might just become one of our next features!

Yes! While you have access to an activity, whether it’s one of our free activities, during your 7-day free trial or through an active subscription, you can generate as many worksheets as you need.

No worksheet credits. No counting pages. Create what your class needs.

No. Differ now does Maths and Handwriting, all in one app.

Differ is part of Differ Education, a growing family of digital tools designed to make teaching beautifully simple. Maths is where we started, and we’re only getting started.

Handwriting activities include Letters, Words & Sentences; Names; Positive Affirmations; Days of the Week; Months of the Year; Numbers 0–9; and writing Patterns.

Choose normal, dashed or dotted letters for tracing, and make them in English or Afrikaans.

Yes! Differ lets you create worksheets in English or Afrikaans. Simply choose your preferred language when creating your worksheet.

No. Differ does not currently use generative AI to create your worksheets. Our worksheet activities and customisation systems are built into the Differ app.

Absolutely. In fact, that’s what Differ is all about.

Instead of trying to make one worksheet work for everyone, you can change the available options to create different versions of the same activity for different groups or ability levels.

Same concept. Different needs. A few taps. Done.

Yes! Once you’ve generated your worksheet, you can save it to your device and use your device’s sharing options to print it, email it or send it to your computer. You can also send worksheets to your learners or their parents for educational use.

Differ worksheets are created for your own teaching and learners, so they may not be resold, uploaded to public resource libraries or mass-shared with unrelated teachers.

Differ is currently available on compatible Apple and Android mobile devices.

Once you’ve created your worksheet, you can save it to your device and send it to your computer if you’d prefer to print, store or display it from there.

If your subscription is showing as active, please don’t subscribe again. First, check that you’re using the same Apple App Store or Google Play account that you used when you subscribed.

If your subscription is active but the activities are still locked:

1. Uninstall Differ from your device.
2. Reinstall Differ from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
3. Open the app again using the same Apple or Google account linked to your active subscription.

In most cases, reinstalling Differ lets the app recognise your active subscription again and restores access to your activities.

Still locked? Contact us at hello@differ.co.za or 065 704 8544 and we’ll help you get sorted.

Unfortunately, we can’t. Your subscription is securely managed through your personal Apple App Store or Google Play account, so we don’t have access to your account or the ability to cancel your subscription on your behalf.

If you’re struggling to find your subscription settings, contact us and we’ll happily point you in the right direction.

If you’re using the same app store and account linked to your active subscription, you shouldn’t need to subscribe again.

If Differ doesn’t recognise your subscription on the new device, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app while using the same Apple or Google account. Please don’t buy another subscription if you already have an active one.

If you’re moving between Apple and Android, you’ll need to unsubscribe on your old device and subscribe again on your new device.

Deleting an app and cancelling a subscription are two different things.

Uninstalling Differ removes the app from your device, but your subscription stays active until you cancel it through your Apple App Store or Google Play account.

You can cancel at any time through the store you used to subscribe.

On Android / Google Play: Open Google Play → Profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → Differ → Cancel subscription

On Apple / iPhone or iPad: Open Settings → Your Name → Subscriptions → Differ → Cancel Subscription

Your subscription generally stays available until the end of the period you’ve already paid for.

Important: deleting the Differ app does not cancel your subscription.

No. Differ does not currently require learner accounts or learner profiles, and you don’t need to provide learners’ names, email addresses or other personal information to create worksheets.

Generated worksheets are saved to your device, rather than being stored on Differ Education’s servers as part of the normal worksheet-generation process.

No. Your generated worksheets are saved directly to your device and are not stored on Differ Education’s servers. Your worksheets stay with you, ready to save, print or share when you need them.
