Decimals is a powerful package, carefully structured for use in class and at home. Used regularly, it really helps develop understanding. A few 'surprises' keep the interest of the learner, although these are *not* 'game-style' programs!

Checking Up
The computer first sets and marks a series of graded questions on decimals, and then suggests where the learner should start. On screen, a list of the sections which have not been fully understood, is given - invaluable for further work and revision.

The other programs tive teaching points and set exercises so as to cover all the main sections of number work using Decimals:

Part 1
Whole and parts; the decimal point; tenths; ordering decimals; + and - tenths; x and - by 10 and 110.

Part 2
Ordering 100ths; + and - with 10th/100ths; x and - by 100/1000/etc

Part 3
Multiplying tenths; simple x and - explained; introduction to complex + and - of decimals.

Part 4
