Numeracy is a word that is only relatively new in the English language. Most educators agree that the concept of numeracy goes beyond the degree of competence in computational mathematical skills. It encompasses the concepts of number and space in the fields of measurement, approximation, estimation, tables, graphs and statistics.

What is clear is that good numeracy skills are becoming more and more important in our modern lives. Mathematics influences all aspects of our lives: in our daily living, at work and in our leisure and sporting pursuits. Good numeracy skills are also required across all curriculum areas, especially, in technology and science subject areas.

The SuperMaths Working With Numbers programs as the names suggest are concerned primarily with the concepts and computational skills associated with numbers. The three SuperMaths Working With Numbers programs are designed for lower primary through to lower secondary aged students. Activities have been designed in a fun and interactive way to ensure student success and at the same time teaching or consolidating mathematical concepts. Within each activity there is sound and graphical reinforcement as well as a reward game to motivate each student.

The SuperMaths Working With Numbers programs are extremely comprehensive and cover all areas of number as outlined in the Australian National Mathematics Guidelines. Each program incorporates extensive worksheets which are readily accessible from within the program to extend and consolidate mathematical concepts.
