Numbershark is a computer program that helps pupils improve their understanding and use of numbers using a variety of carefully designed games.
The topics included address each of the number operations + - x ÷ plus fractions, decimals and simple percentages, in very gradual steps. Plus, variable speeds can be adopted to suit the individual pupil's need.
The program addresses many of the difficulties that lead students to dislike maths. These include poor short-term memory, limited attention span and poor sequencing skills.
To help those with dyslexia and dyscalculia, many of the games give a visual idea of what is happening when you add, subtract, multiply or divide. Numbers are shown as objects, digits or rods, or on an abacus, a number line, a number pad or a 100 square, to help basic understanding.
