Making Maths Add Up takes a revolutionary new approach to teaching maths by starting from scratch and breaking seemingly complex mathematical concepts down into their core parts, then building upon each foundation skill clearly and intuitively. Children can jump in at the point they feel comfortable for each topic, allowing them to focus on the maths skills themselves and not arbitrary levels and leaving room for revision, learning, and extension. It starts at the level of 2 + 2 and teaches skills that quickly make equations like 680 + 70 easy to solve. It seamlessly incorporates algebra and word problems by showing the connections between numbers and the skills necessary for working with them.
