How to & Tips
HOW TO USE

Write the answer at the back of each card.

Flash the card to the learner.

USEFUL TIPS
Start with the easiest calculation and gradually move on to the more difficult cards.
Never write the answer in the empty box on the front side of the card.
Start with the normal sequence of numbers as you would count and later mix the sequence up to make it more challenging for the learner.
Do one operation set at a time.
