Description
Practice important math skills before moving on to
higher level math with CalcuPak 2. This software package includes everything in
Calculadder®
4, 5, and 6. It allows you to print out drills covering long division,
decimals, estimating, fractions and mixed numbers, percents, English and Metric
units, and geometric concepts. Students work on the same drill until they can
complete it correctly within the suggested time goal. A relatable Bible verse
is included on each drill page. It is best to start your children in a level
that is a little below what they are currently working on so they can build up
speed and accuracy. As a bonus, you also receive Alphabetter®, which is practice in
alphabetizing and dictionary skills. When you receive your CD-ROM, you can send
an email for your activation key. Note: may not be used in a resource lending
library. ~ Gina
Category Description for CalcuPak / CalcuLadder
These are great - painless, quick, easy to take and good for you - no wonder they're called "Learning Vitamins." These are designed to get the brain working quickly and automatically - a must before going into higher-level math! We have seen marked improvement in our children's computational speed and skill after using these. Advantages over other drill sheets we've seen (and used) are the sheer variety in the sheets and the incremental level of difficulty from one sheet to the next. Cute graphics "grow" up the margins of the page as students progress, adding to the visual appeal, and an appropriate scripture verse is a definite plus (if you're drilling several students, the ones who finish ahead can meditate on something worthwhile!).
Originally printed as a workbook with 12 copies of 16 individual master worksheets, the publisher has transitioned their successful drill program to either a computer-based option with printable drill sheets (CalcuPaks) or a set of print drill masters with a SuperSlate. SuperSlates provide a sturdy frame with a reusable plastic cover to place over the drill master. The student writes the answers in pencil on the plastic sheet, and it can be wiped off to use again. These programs are designed to be done daily, with students completing a page per day while trying to reach the target speed. When they are able to complete the drill in the time suggested, they move on to the next worksheet and repeat the process. The target speed might be reached after completing two or three worksheets, or it might take a student a couple of weeks or more to reach the speed goal.
Calculadders have six levels which take the student through basic math - addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, telling time, fractions, percents, and decimals. These roughly correspond to elementary grade levels but can be used whenever needed. ReadyWriter provides practice in basic letter strokes and would be used prior to a formal handwriting program. AlphaBetter helps students speed up their alphabitizing skills.
