Introduction

Welcome to JXCirrus Maths. This is a tutorial for practicing basic maths, such as times tables, addition, subtraction and division. It doesn't try and teach advanced concepts or new topics - It's main focus is making sure children can do the basics quickly and accurately.

How it Works

You (the parent) set up a set of basic exercises that will be run when you start up JXCirrus Maths. Some examples of these might be:

Then, each time your child starts up JXCirrus Maths, they will be prompted to finish off each of these exercises. Each time an exercise is run, the system records the fastest time. Next time you run that exercise, you race against your previous fastest time (but beware - you do have to get all the answers right). To add a touch of interest, you can set it up to show a different photo from the family album as the background each time they finish an exercise.
