Welcome to your logbook!
It provides information on how the training works and a
schedule where you can record your training from day to
day.
Why should I train with Number Quest?
Sometimes we think that mathematics is something that we
are doing only in school, but math is indeed something we use
every day. You use mathematics when you shop in the store
and need to know how much you can buy and how much you will
get back. You use mathematics when you divide things with
friends or siblings. You also use mathematics in order to be
able to keep track how much every ingredient you should use
when you bake or cook. You use mathematics to know how
many days or months it is your birthday. In sum, mathematics
is very useful!

Number Quest
Number Quest is software to help you train up your
mathematical skills. After you have used Number Quest, you
will probably have a little easier for numbers and counting
and perhaps think that mathematics is more fun than you
previously thought.
When you train with Number Quest, there are a few things
to remember. Training mathematic skills takes time. It has
been shown to be important that you train every day and
that you train for the whole period of time that has been
planned. It is most common to train five times a week for
five weeks. Therefore it is different from most other
training you may have done. If you want to get better at
football, dancing or playing the guitar it is enough to train
two or three times a week, and it doesn’t matter if you miss
training from time to time.

It is different when you train with Number Quest.
It is important that you do not take any breaks
from the training. For it to have an effect you must
train every day that has been planned. It is also
important that you do your best. If you do not really
try to complete each task successfully, the training
does not work. This does not mean that you must
successfully solve each task. The fact is that for
the training to have the most effect it should
sometimes be a bit too hard.

Worth thinking about!
Some people think that mathematics is something that
you are either good or bad at, and that it is not
something you can influence, that is not the case. As
with football, or to draw it is training that makes you
better. However, we all differ in how difficulty things
are for use to learn so some people may need to train
more than others.
