CalcuPak 2 contains CalcuLadders 4-6 (advanced long division, decimals, percents, basic & advanced fractions, mixed numbers, English and metric units, and geometry concepts) and AlphaBetter (alphabetizing practice). The software comes on CD and runs on Windows or Mac. Information is included with the CD on obtaining an activation key for setup. After installation, open up the application and you'll see all of the volumes listed. You can easily print off as many of each drill as you need from this screen, as well as keys and achievement records. Another great feature of the CalcuPack is the CalcuClock™ which can time up to five different students in one sitting. You can shut down the timer if they finish before their time runs out, and when you enter their scores, it will calculate accuracy and performance scores.
The CalcuPak software is compatible with Windows 10, 8.1 or 8, Windows 7 SP1 Ultimate, Professional, or Home Premium, as well as on a Macintosh running OSX, version 10.11 or higher, including the new Macintosh OS Monterey. However, the CalcuPak software is not compatible with Mac OS Big Sur.
This CalcuPak has a value of $55.80, so take advantage of our fantastic price!
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.

good reviews from other homeschoolers
It's excellent drill practice. Regular drills makes the math lessons go faster.
