Language

Covers the full range of mathematics language which is so essential for children to know and use. An easy to use teacher controlled menu allows simple access to the activities.

Assessment

Enables systematic monitoring and assessment. Clear, fully marked A4 page print-outs identify pupils’ strengths and weaknesses at the press of a button. Questions are randomly generated so every set of questions is different.
Because each of the activities is highly focussed, the CD is ideal for individual education plans.
