The perfect formula for success in math

Getting Started In Math helps build math skills beginning on a level that children understand – counting with fingers.  The first lesson, Number Sense, helps children feel comfortable with counting, large numbers, and measurements before moving on to more challenging exercises in addition, subtraction and multiplication.  Then, step by step, it helps children progress on to larger and more complex math concepts.

A vital part of your child’s education:  you.

Children need support and recognition of their parents throughout their educational careers – from preschool to college.  To get the process off on the right foot, at the bottom of each screen is a special parent’s “coaching box”.  This box gives parents the information they need to guide, explain and actively participate in the lessons – and help their children learn and succeed.

If a missing parcel cannot be located, Australia Post may decide to issue compensation up to a value of $50.00 AUD.  Please note that compensation is not mandatory for any missing parcel sent via normal post and any decision to award compensation is entirely at Australia Post’s discretion.

ARB Games will send a free replacement for your missing order, if and when compensation is received from Australia Post.
