Developed for home or school use, Maths Island 1 is an effective maths software program that teaches students the essential skills of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division - the foundation that students must have when mastering other areas of mathematics - using colourful graphics, interesting characters, subtle animation and fully narrated, interactive tutorials. It is also based on the Australian curriculum.

Students will find the program stimulating and entertaining because it allows for immediate interaction and the instant feedback of positive reinforcement. The program is designed to be challenging without being intimidating or threatening, leading to the acquisition of basic maths skills in a way that is easily accessible to students.

The key to success is to emphasise mastery of skills through accuracy first and then to promote speedy recognition of maths facts. At no time are students expected to perform at a level that is too difficult for them or at which they have not received instruction. Maths Island 1 follows the principle that students must be taught before they are challenged to demonstrate their ability with a particular skill or set of skills.

The program is simple to move around in, and contains skill levels that build successively upon each other. It is suitable for students who are just starting to learn maths as well as for those who have difficulty acquiring basic maths skills or who have gaps in their mathematical development. more
