Teacher review
‘Ultimate Maths Invaders is a game children will enjoy as a means to improving maths skills, a boon to busy teachers and a well-constructed program of arithmetical skills for home use.’
Carefully-sequenced Maths Progression
‘Ultimate Maths Invaders includes many features which make it a lot more purposeful acquisition for both school and home use. The carefully-sequenced maths progression caters for students from Kindergarten to Junior High School. At Level 1 students are operating at early stage 1 with questions such as 4 – 1 or successfully identifying groups of 9. At Level 10 (Junior High School, stage 4) questions include 1600 divided by 40, 6695 x 7, 9129 – 9123 and 3 squared.’
Clear Curriculum links
‘The PDF file provided linking Ultimate Maths Invaders levels to curriculum stages and outcomes will be as much appreciated by parents as it is by teachers. In the classroom, students can be placed quickly and effectively to appropriate skill levels. The variety of ‘games’ available also caters for individual differences and keyboard skills within a level.’
‘Younger children will need some assistance getting through the early screens to begin playing their game as there is a certain amount of reading. Once started on an appropriate level, students will soon manage the keyboard skills needed to navigate the screen and play the game.’ – Ken Docksey, Teacher, ICT Coordinator & Assistant Principal, Sandon Primary School
‘Maths Invaders is a valuable supportive IT aid for multiplication tables consolidation.’ – Mrs Helen Chuler, Keep Hatch Junior School, Wokingham, Berkshire
‘Year 4 students appear to have gained the greatest initial benefit from using Maths Invaders, with the class teacher observing substantial improvements in the recall of number facts. Other parents commented on how they liked the fact that the different levels and content allowed for continued use over time as their child moved from one year to the next. From a teaching perspective, where we have a wide range of maths software being utilised by the students, I particularly like the fact that it ‘gets to the job’ of number-fact recall. Maths Invaders provides enough graphics and gimmicks to keep their attention, as well as ensuring their time is spent in the most economical and efficient way.’ – Julie Caton, Information Technology & Maths Coordinator, St Aidan’s Girls School
‘We have been using and recommending Maths Invaders for some time now. Many of our students have great difficulty memorising facts – particularly things like addition, subtraction, and multiplication tables – and we find that Ultimate Maths Invaders is a fun way to give them the constant repetition needed to help them retain this important information. For those with short concentration spans, just 5 minutes a day on Maths Invaders can really help. Our students’ parents very much appreciate being able to purchase inexpensive software that will cater for the needs of their children for a number of years.’ – Jan Polkinghorne, Specific Learning Difficulties Association
‘The Maths Invaders Community Software Plan has worked really well and is very easy to organise and administer We’ve used Maths Invaders for staff training, delivering NNS strategy, and for children to practise key skills at home. Children and parents love it. Do it! Staff and children will be so motivated you’ll wish you had joined earlier! Could I order some more please?’ – Mr Melvin Tatters, Maths Coordinator, Glebe Primary School, Uxbridge Middlesex
Parent review
‘For once I don’t have to argue with the kids to do their home work as they love your programs. Both their maths and spelling have improved out of sight. I strongly recommend your programs to every body I speak to. I must say that if home and school are supporting each other it has to be a lot easier on our children.’ – Jenny, Bundaberg, QLD
‘Whether you are a home schooler, a teacher or a parent, you will be delighted with the reaction you’ll get when you give your “student” Ultimate Maths Invaders. Yes, “Maths”, because the designers of this software are from Australia and that’s what they call it Down Under. Let’s move on. The software features a variety of “games” which cater to individual skills and learning levels as well as keyboard skills. Parents found that the game knew, almost magically, the right buttons to press for their child to keep them interested and involved.’ – TNPC
