For parents and teachers

For learners who know the times tables up to 10 and can add, take away, multiply and divide whole numbers. In many schools this fits children of about 11 to 13, and older learners who skipped negative numbers or primes 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.
