“I write to acknowledge the quality of ‘MathSphere Year 1 Calculations’. This is a great piece of software that lends itself practically and directly to an ICT-equipped classroom. It’s gone down as a hit at my school and I fully recommend it to others.”

“My son, William, has been inspired since using the MathSphere software in school.”

Aim
This CD has one aim: to give you access to the most effective material and strategies for your children to meet the requirements of mental maths in Year 1.
Language
Using the CD will ensure that children are confident with the language of calculating, as well as achieving success with the mathematical operations. By clicking on the key words they can hear the words spoken. This is a very useful tool for helping children read and understand the meaning of the words.
Progression
The CD guides children through 3 progressive stages of calculation:
- Counting of objects
- Using a number line
- Remembering and recalling simple number facts.
Assessment
When a child has completed 10 questions he/she is forwarded to an answer sheet. This shows what the child typed for each question and is computer marked.
Easy, one click printing ensures a clear A4 record of the child’s achievement for that objective. Ideal for short or medium term assessment.
