This series of boxed card games is designed to reinforce basic maths skills.

Each box contains 4 games of 35 cards each that focus on addition, subtraction, multiplication and division using a sequential system of questions and answers. The sets are carefully graded into five levels of difficulty to suit all ability groups.

• Ideal for classroom, special needs, basic adult education and for teaching children for whom English is a second language, these games are a fun way to promote good listening skills, confidence and quick mental calculations.
• The games require the constant involvement and attention of all players and there is a simple system for the teacher or one of the players to track and check the answers.
• Follow On Mathemagicians is an enjoyable way to reinforce basic maths skills that involves the whole class.
• The games are ideal for primary children and relate directly to the English National Curriculum Key Stage 1 and 2.

The games can be used as whole-class warm-up or plenary activities, or by small groups or individuals to reinforce new skills.
