Expected effects and results | It relieves children from feeling poor at written calculations and reduces miscalculations. |
How to use |
The bold line indicates where on the paper to start writing the numbers. The sheet can be used for all four basic arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division). Use of two-tone colors is highly recommended as it facilitates learners discriminate lines. The 6 x 8 graph sheets shown as a reference can be used for addition, subtraction, and multiplication of up to 5-digit numbers and for division of up to 4-digit numbers by 2-digit numbers. Increase or decrease the number of squares according to the child’s level and how many calculations each sheet is to accommodate. |
