Progression through the skill levels is gradual. Each new level is just a little bit harder than the last. One new step is learned at each level. Learners know they are learning arithmetic. Status reports appear at the end of each activity.
Immediate feedback is available in Practice and homework assignments.
On going record keeping can be displayed in reports at any time to show a history of progression. Skill level definitions are displayed in all activities and learners are well aware when they have achieved a new skill. Lists of skill level definitions can be used to set learning goals as well as to review and encourage progress. Adults who have had a hard time learning arithmetic before will be happy with their success. Progression is self-paced.
