Maths program

[GreenGully]

J is really into adding and subtracting at the moment and would really enjoy a computer program that is easy to navigate and doesn't require fluent reading. I haven't really been able to find much, he will be 5 in July, so it needs to be age appropriate...everything I have found so far is a bit dry. Beatrice? anyone? Oh and it has to be online cos the cd drive is stuffed on the computer.

Gah I dunno, if I see anything I will let you know.

Umm...there's a BBC website I vaguely recall coming across in my travels... :lol Will have to interrogate my bookmarks folder. Maybe it's time for a maths linkdump ;)

Okay...hope there's something useful here :)

My DS is also enjoying using a set of scales to do addition/subtraction.
So on one side you may have 20g then on the other he works out what combinations of weights he needs to make the scales balance.
