For parents and teachers

For learners who can count to 100, add and take away, and share things into equal groups. In many schools this fits children of about 8 to 10, but older learners who missed fractions can start here too. Each chapter takes one or two short sessions. A learner can work alone: every exercise has its answer and the reason for it.
