MathBase1 is a
collection of
easy to use
programs that
provide
differentiated
practice of
elementary maths
skills. Programs
1, 2 and 3 deal
with the
representation
and
understanding of
whole number to
10, 20 & 100.
The fourth
program 'Number
Bonds' and the
newly added
fifth program
'Number Tables'
provide
structured
practice of the
four number
operations.
With
more
than
2000 UK
schools
using
MathBase,
increasing
numbers
of
pupils
are
using
the
software
at home.
MathBase
helps
pupils
work
more independently,
it gives
them a
greater
feeling
of
control,
capability,
freedom
and
ownership.
The
software
is built
around
sequences
of
achievable
targets
(small
steps)
which
are
self-motivating.
In turn,
this
helps
pupils
work
more
collaboratively
with
their
teachers
and
boosts
their
'mathematical'
confidence.
Once
pupils
develop
'ownership'
of their
targets
they are
more
motivated
to
achieve
them. If
extra
practice
at
school
is
difficult
- this
can be
overcome
by using
MathBase
at home.
Many
pupils
also
enjoy
using
MathBase
at break
times
and at
school
clubs. |
