Math Skill Builders Description
The original Math Skill Builders series of educational software programs was first developed and published by S%ampS; Software based on the beliefs that:
- It is necessary for everybody to know how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide.
- It is possible for almost anybody to learn how to do arithmetic. Learners have different abilities and needs to be considered when learning arithmetic.
- Educational uses of computers provide options that can be used to help anybody learn basic arithmetic skills.
To help learners of all ages and abilities learn basic arithmetic skills, MathSkillBuilders.com daily worksheets 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. MathSkillBuilders.com worksheets 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. - Variation to Meet Individual Learners' Needs
We beleive that learners have different learning needs. At MathSkillBuilders.com users can select the type of arithmetic problem, the operation and the skill level for students' instruction and practice. Structured progression through the skill levels can be individually paced to achieve the most success for every student.
