Introduction
These four delightful primary-level mathematics programs have been inspired by the BBC School Radio series 'Maths - with a Story!' The Times Educational Supplement, June 1984, expressed a high regard for the radio programmes, and this software suite has been designed to be as entertaining and enjoyable. Parents and teachers will appreciate its gentle, friendly approach, its careful matching to a child's level of understanding, and its beautiful screen presentation. It has been put through extensive trials.
