To help learners of all ages and abilities learn basic arithmetic skills,
Math Skill Builders educational software products feature:
- Carefully Structured Arithmetic Skill Levels
For learners to master addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, they must be able to progress through multiple levels of computational difficulty. Math Skill Builders programs present arithmetic skills broken down into skill levels emphasizing one single, essential, concept at a time. Learners are more likely to succeed as they take small, manageable steps progressing through the increasingly difficult arithmetic skill levels.
- Customization to Meet Individual Learners' Needs
We beleive that learners have different learning needs. In all Math Skill Builders programs users can customize the program to meet individual learning needs. Users can select the arithmetic operation and skill level for students to work on, as well as the number of problems presented in any activity. Structured progression through the skill levels can be individually paced to achieve the most success for every student. Students can be provided any combination of operations and skill levels. So, teachers can challenge advanced students and provide systematic presentation of new skills for slower students.
- Activities Appropriate for Anybody Learning Arithmetic
The activities in the Math Skill Builders series can be used by persons of any age or skill level to learn arithmetic. Users will not be slowed down by silly games, or unnecessary sights and sounds. They will be able to focus on achieving skills. By attaining competence in arithmetic as quickly as possible, students will more rapidly be able to progress to more difficult areas of math instruction.
- Options for Adapting to Different Learning Situations
Because of the emphasis on learners starting at their appropriate skill levels and progressing at their own pace, as well as not presenting any age or gender or any other bias, Math Skill Builders programs are perfect for learning arithmetic in many settings including:
- Schools- regular classrooms, special education, gifted education
- Homes and Home Schooling
- Adult Literacy and Numeracy Programs
- Work Skills / Vocational Technology Programs
- Infinite Number of Randomly Generated Problems
Unlike most math programs, Math Skill Builders generates new problems according to the rules for each skill level, instead of relying on a "bank" of problems. This assures an almost unlimited use of the program as problems will seldom be repeated.
- Stepped-out Solutions to Facilitate Learning Arithmetic Processes
In addition to providing the answers to problems, all solutions in the Math Skill Builders series can be shown completly stepped out. On screen tutorials in some of the programs demonstrate each step in a solution shown at a speed selected by the user. Detailed solutions on answer keys provide students the opportunity to check their steps and help both students and instructors see where they might be having difficulty learning to compute.
- Correspondence to State Standards
All states require basic arithmetic computational skills in order to achieve proficency in math. The skill levels in the Math Skill Builders series are clearly tied to state standards. Visit our State Standards page for examples, or to see your state.
- Documentation Explaining How to Learn Arithmetic
Each Math Skill Builders program includes documentation explaining how to use the program to develop arithmetic skills. Visit our Documentation section to preview all the documentation online.
