Sticky star programme
In the old days it was called rote learning and it was boring. Now 'practice makes perfect' is back in fashion because computers can make each exercise look quite different each time it is started.
There is really no substitute for doing maths exercises over and over again. The first time it is confusing for the students, the second time they begin to remember the rules, the third time it is starting to stick ... and so on. Practice makes perfect.
Arithmetika delivers an ever-changing stream of practice exercises and assessment opportunities on three important areas, currently basic mental agility and number skills, then upper primary and lower secondary (curriculum years 6-10) and further practice at essential skills in years 11 and 12
