Aims and Objectives
This site aims to serve as an introduction to number systems with the aid of
visual and interactive tools. It is divided into two main sections ;
The ability to add subtract multiply and divide whole numbers are prerequisites
for the material in this site.

The target audience for this site is primarily first year students in second
level schools in Ireland. Some sections will be suitable for younger students.
The site may also be suitable for use by older students for revision or
remedial work. It is not unusual for Leaving Certificate students to have
difficulty learning more complex concepts because of their lack of basic number
handling skills. For example, they can't get to grips with complex numbers
because they are still struggling with the multiplication and division of
integers.
