Our
audio CDs offer
students tips and practice for working calculations in their heads instead of on
paper. Some recorded exercises involve only numbers and mathematical
operations. Others are "word problems" for students to analyze, then
calculate. Narrative problems are drawn from situations students are likely to
encounter in everyday life. Some exercises allow note-taking; others require that
students complete calculations in their heads. In this audio format, students' math abilities are not tied
to their reading abilities, but their listening skills get a good workout. The
format is similar for all three packages, with problems increasing in difficulty.
