Description
CalcuLadder 5 includes basic and advanced fractions and mixed numbers. There are 16 drill masters for each level plus answer keys and an award certificate. Also included is the Super Slate which allows the student to insert a master sheet, cover it with a plastic overlay and complete the drill using a regular #2 pencil. Then the teacher can flip the master sheet and easily grade the drill sheet. The plastic overlay sheet is quickly cleaned with a small bit of petroleum jelly. The Slate has a bit of a homespun look and you could substitute a dry-erase pocket for the Slate.

Category Description for Calcupak / Calculadder
These are great - painless, quick, easy to take and good for you - no wonder they're called "Learning Vitamins." These are designed to get the brain working quickly and automatically - a must before going into higher-level math! We have seen marked improvement in our children's computational speed and skill after using these. Advantages over other drill sheets we've seen (and used) are the sheer variety in the sheets and the incremental level of difficulty from one sheet to the next. Cute graphics "grow" up the margins of the page as students progress, adding to the visual appeal, and an appropriate scripture verse is a definite plus (if you're drilling several students, the ones who finish ahead can meditate on something worthwhile!).
Originally printed as a workbook with 12 copies of 16 individual master worksheets, the publisher has transitioned their successful drill program to either a computer-based option with printable drill sheets (CalcuPaks) or a set of print drill masters with a SuperSlate. SuperSlates provide a sturdy frame with a reusable plastic cover to place over the drill master. The student writes the answers in pencil on the plastic sheet, and it can be wiped off to use again. These programs are designed to be done daily, with students completing a page per day while trying to reach the target speed. When they are able to complete the drill in the time suggested, they move on to the next worksheet and repeat the process. The target speed might be reached after completing two or three worksheets, or it might take a student a couple of weeks or more to reach the speed goal.
Calculadders have six levels which take the student through basic math - addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, telling time, fractions, percents, and decimals. These roughly correspond to elementary grade levels but can be used whenever needed. ReadyWriter provides practice in basic letter strokes and would be used prior to a formal handwriting program. AlphaBetter helps students speed up their alphabitizing skills.
