Number Navigator 2.0

A common enquiry we receive at the ACE Centre is, "Where can I find simple software that lays out arithmetic in regular rows and columns?" Our answer? Number Navigator.

This mathematical software enables children to record their structured arithmetic via the button bar, keyboard or switches without having to resort to the complexities of a spreadsheet. Numbers are entered from the keyboard (or switches, via SAW, our switch access to Windows software) and are placed into grid locations on the screen. The pupil then navigates through the grid using the arrow keys or the mouse.

Automatic navigation options are available for left and right movements as numbers are entered. There's also extra navigational tools to assist with addition and multiplication for add and carry movements on the grid.

Letters and numbers can be entered in super or subscript sizes and lines can be drawn around any numbers or blocks of figures. The size of the grid can be changed to suit the user, as can the colour of the writing, grid and paper. This grid can be removed for printing.

Number Navigator links to AccessMaths and work can be freely copied between the two programs. Switch users can access this program through specialised SAW Selection Sets.
