Flash Card Features
Highlights
Each mathematics flash card is large and easy-to-read with maths questions on the front and clearly explained worked answers on the back. The flash cards feature full colour images to help your child to better understand the mathematics concepts and explanations. These quality flash cards are printed on thick card stock with matte coating and rounded edges for durability and easy handling by you and your child.
Each flash card features a colour-coded system which identifies the strand (e.g. Number), the topic (e.g. Decimals and fractions) and the content number (e.g. AC9M4N01).
The cards come in a clear plastic flash cards box with a flip top lid for storage.
The box set also contains a separator card labelled ‘Mastered’, which is designed to help you keep track of the flash cards your child has successfully mastered. This allows you and your child to better understand your child’s mastery across the strands and topics as well as any gaps in knowledge and understanding to focus on.

The flash cards cover six content strands including Number, Algebra, Measurement, Space, Statistics and Probability.
Within each strand, various topics are covered such as decimals, equivalent fractions, even and odd numbers, fraction wall, mixed numbers, proper and improper fractions, multiplying and dividing by powers of 10, column addition and subtraction, contracted multiplication, short division, area model, problem-solving strategies, unit cost, money change, bar model, multiples, patterns, ratio, missing numbers, metric conversions, perimeter, area, volume, am and pm time, timeline, time difference, angles, compass, symmetry, tessellation, dependent and independent events, spinners and so on.
