This popular package for teaching and reinforcing maths offers tailored support to individuals through its finely graded, structured course and individual user programs of work.

It is particularly suited for those whose numeracy skills are affected by poor short-term memory, attention span and poor sequencing skills.

MathBase 1 deals with the representation of whole numbers up to 100 including: dice and domino patterns, counting and estimation, reading and spelling number words, tally marks, Roman numerals and place value.

Two programs practise basic operations or 'number bonds' including multiplication and division.

MathBase 2 develops whole number skills and mental calculation.

Content includes: finding one more and one less, doubling and halving, squaring and square rooting, ordering, sequencing, rounding, missing number problems and simple equations, place value used in the context of simple calculation, and many exercises on mental addition and subtraction.

MathBase 6 again involves calculation with whole number.

Basic topics are included but there is further emphasis on multiplication and division: prime numbers, integer division, and multiplication by powers of 10.

Programs also deal with how different operations interact such as 'order of operations' and 'expanding brackets'.
