Same Prices, in plain numbers
Every guide and practice sheet on this website is free, with no account. Two things cost money, and both are optional: printable books for parents, and classroom packs for teachers.
Free
The website costs nothing
All 196 guides, the "say this, skip this" lines, and the practice-sheet maker with answer keys are free for everyone. You never need to buy anything to use Same Method.
For parents
Fridge Cheat Sheets: one book per subject
Each book is a printable PDF. For every method in the subject you get three pages:
Two styles in every book
Every download has the same book twice: Classic, clean and printed, and Notebook, which looks handwritten on lined paper. Many kids find the notebook pages friendlier. Print whichever your child likes; you don't pay extra.
The books and their prices
Books over 60 pages are $9; smaller books are $8. You pay once and keep the PDF.

Price questions
Do I have to buy anything?
No. Every guide and practice sheet is free on the website. The books are for parents who want everything printed in one place.
Why are some books $8 and others $9?
Price follows size. Math, Reading, Writing and Algebra & Geometry are over 60 pages, so they're $9. Study Skills, Social Studies and Science are smaller, so they're $8.
What is the Notebook style?
The same book, page for page, made to look handwritten on lined notebook paper. Both styles come in every download, so you can print the one your child prefers.
Is the $29.99 bundle the same as buying all 7?
Yes. You get the same 7 books, in both styles, in one ZIP file for $29.99 instead of $60.
Can I buy a single method instead of a whole book?
Parents don't need to: every single method is free on its guide page, with a practice-sheet maker. Teachers can buy single packs for $4 on TeachersPayTeachers.
I'm a teacher. Can I use a parent book in class?
The books are licensed to one household. For class use, the teacher packs include the anchor chart, parent letter and 8 sheets per method.
How do refunds work?
Parent books: email support@samemethod.com within 7 days for a full refund. Teacher packs: TeachersPayTeachers handles refunds. See terms and refunds.
