Moving Forward with Basic Facts
The programme in Moving Forward with Basic Facts enables all students to progress with their basic facts skills at their own pace. It supports parents in reinforcing these skills, while removing a tedious job from your “to do” list. Each set of graduated questions can be completed either as a whole or one column per day. Once a student can accurately recall the facts at a given level within an appropriate time, they move to the next level. It’s a steady step-by-step approach that connects home and school learning to build success in this fundamental area of mathematics.
Ages: 8-10 years
