Support Sheets
For many years, we have provided support sheets which can be used in conjunction with the Understanding Math™ series of software. The support sheets provide an important off-computer component to learning, and have all been updated to reflect the new material in Understanding Math PLUS (2006 version). With the impending release of Understanding Math 2008, we will be working hard to update the support sheets once again to reflect the addition of new material. We will announce, on this page, when the new support sheets are available.
Please note: Currently, the support sheets for Understanding Numeration can be obtained and printed right from within the Understanding Numeration program.
