This engaging program was co-authored with Don Skow, long-time Contest Director for UIL Number Sense and Mathematics. Designed in a self-paced, tutorial format to teach students math short cuts and skills. Well over 50 mental "tricks", or short cuts, are presented with careful explanations of the workings of the skill and with exercises for each that have complete step-by step explanations. In addition, each element allows a student unlimited testing by generating problems of the same ilk for that student. Mental Math Notes is a collection of all the explanations of the multitude of skills covered with thorough expanations as shown in the software. This can be used as a stand-alone study aid, or it can be used to accompany the software.

An Extended Usage License is optional, and this allows up to 5 team members to install the software on their home computers for the current school year. This must be reactivated annually to continue to allow students to install the software on their home computers.
