Animated Arithmetic 1.0

The "Animated Arithmetic CD" for Windows and Win 95 teaches addition, subtraction, multiplication and division for children from 1st through 4th grades. It provides exercises in addition and subtraction with and without regrouping. Problems can involve up to 9 digits. More than just a drill program, progressive help is given as needed to instruct the child to solve the problems. The multiplication and division problems are based on the multiplication table from 1 to 10, it teaches "mental math" in a painless way.

Progressive help is given as needed when the student is having difficulty with a particular problem (not just a Wrong! response from the computer).

Once ten problems are completed, the student gets to visit the game room. There are over 20 puzzles using 3D animation and sound on the registered CD ROM. The child can choose 12, 24, or 48 pieces. Hints for solving the puzzles are available, or the child can have the computer solve the puzzle and enjoy the (mostly silly) animation. There is also a maze game where the child can play mazes of varying complexity (which are rewarded with an animation when solved), or make and save their own mazes for their friends to try and solve. You can even choose to have the computer solve the maze - watching it find it`s way out can be fascinating. There is over 160 Meg of animation and sound in the games on the CD!
