Keyboarding Numeric Keyboarding Assignments
I use these assignments as reinforcement when learning the numeric keypad. These are Excel files with protected areas so the students can't accidentally erase the formula. There are three assignments and three "templates" that they can download and open to do the assignments in. I have them set to add them up so they can check their numbers based on their math. They simply change the top to their name and type the assignment number in the blank. Then, get busy typing.
