This mathematical software enables children to record their structured arithmetic via the button bar, keyboard or switches without having to resort to the complexities of a spreadsheet. Numbers are entered using the keyboard or switches (via SAW, Special Access to Windows, which is also available to download from the OATS website) into grid locations on the screen. The pupil then navigates through the grid by means of the arrow keys or the mouse.

Automatic navigation options are available for left and right movements as numbers are entered. There's also extra navigational tools to assist with addition and multiplication for add and carry movements on the grid. Letters and numbers can be entered in super or subscript sizes and lines can be drawn around any numbers or blocks of figures. The size of the grid can be changed to suit the user, as can the colour of the writing, grid and paper. This grid can be removed for printing.

Number Navigator links to AccessMaths and work can be freely copied between the two programs.

Switch users can access to this program through specialised SAW (Special Access to Windows) selection Sets.
