Numbers In Action software is the "virtual" representation of our range of Numbers Up flip-books, fraction pies and number squares (SEE RIGHT, and BELOW). While the children work with their tangible apparatus, the teacher can set up arithmetic operations on the whiteboard, then show the steps to working out the answers.
