This program teaches students to "skip count", for example 2, 4, 6, 8, ...
My experience in the classroom has been that most students can easily multiply by 2 and by 5 because they can skip count by 2's and 5's. This program builds skip counting skills by 2's, 3's, 4's, 5's, 6's, 7's, 8's, and 9's. When students can easily skip count by all these intervals, they will learn the multiplication tables more easily.
Math concepts are reinforced by color schemes and patterns in the art contained in this program. Students will later understand concepts such as prime numbers and multiples.
Version 2 has an improved interface that integrates all 4 programs in the series, but you may order this component separately.

This program presents the multiplication tables by 2's, 3's, 4's, etc.
The student chooses which set (or sets) to work on during a session. The facts are presented in order, with answer choices. This program is ideal for the student who is just beginning to memorize the tables.
Correct answers are rewarded with math related movies and messages. Incorrect answers result in teaching messages e.g. Even/odd concepts are taught if an even/odd error is made. Math concepts are reinforced by color schemes and patterns in the art contained in this program. The same color schemes and patterns are used in all 4 programs in this series.

This program presents the multiplication facts in random order. The student must type a number. Correct answers are rewarded with math related movies and messages. Incorrect answers result in teaching messages (e.g. If the student types "36" for "9 x 3", the message will be "That’s too high. That's 9 x 4.") At the end of the session, the student receives a score based on speed and accuracy. This program is for the student who can say the multiplication tables in order, but has difficulty using them to solve math problems. The same color schemes and patterns are used in all 4 programs in this series.

This program presents the division facts in random order. The student must type a number. Correct answers are rewarded with math related movies and messages. Incorrect answers result in teaching messages that relate division to multiplication. At the end of the session, the student receives a score based on speed and accuracy.

This is a series of the previous 4 programs that teach the multiplication tables.
Program #1 is Skip Count, which lays a foundation to memorize the tables.
Next (#2) is Multiplication Tables, where the student is presented sets of tables in order, with choices to make.
After some familiarity with the multiplication tables comes Multiplication Facts (#3), where the facts are presented randomly, and the student must type an answer.
Finally, the student is ready for Division (#4), with the facts presented randomly.
A score at the end of the session based on accuracy for the first two components, and speed and accuracy for the last two components. Students have a chance to enter the Hall of Fame if they are persistent in their efforts.
Version 2 has an improved interface that integrates all 4 programs in the series. The animations are also improved in version 2.
4 screen savers are included. $95.00 |

This program introduces fraction concepts and early recognition.
First the student learns how to name denominators of a whole. A colorful custom toolbar is used for student input.
Next is naming numerators of a whole. Again, colorful custom toolbars are used for student input.
Finally, the student determines parts of a group, using a unique method that I developed during classroom teaching.
Color schemes are consistent with the color schemes of my multiplication programs.
The backgrounds halves, fourths, and eighths are blue.
Thirds, sixths, and twelfths are purple. Fifths and tenths are green.
Many appealing illustrations and movies are included to help students understand the concepts.

This program teaches about equivalent fractions with useful illustrations and step-by-step help in reducing fractions, expanding fractions (e.g. 1/2 = 2/4), and converting improper fractions to mixed numbers.
The student cannot proceed to the next step until the current step is completed correctly. If any step is done incorrectly, very specific help is given to help the student achieve success, then move on to the next step.
When the student can perform these tasks without using the step-by-step feature of the program, he or she may choose to practice simply entering the correct answers.
Color schemes are consistent with the color schemes of my multiplication programs, and this fraction series.

This program teaches adding and subtracting fractions, starting with like denominators, then unlike denominators, and finally mixed numbers.
The student is guided in every step, including converting to least common denominators. Any step must be completed correctly before the student can go on to the next step. Very specific help is given when a student does a step incorrectly, so that success will be achieved and the next step can be performed.
Answers must be reduced to lowest terms and converted to mixed numbers, when necessary.
My trademark color scheme is especially useful in this program. Background colors give a hint about the least common denominator (fourths and eighths are blue, sixths and twelfths are purple, and tenths are green.)

This program teaches multiplying and dividing fractions and mixed numbers.
Movies and illustrations explain the concepts.
The student practices using the traditional methods of cancellation to multiply fractions, and inversion to divide fractions.
Mixed numbers must be converted to improper fractions before multiplying or dividing.
Any step must be done correctly before the next step appears.
Very specific help is given if a student does a step incorrectly, so success is achieved and the next step may be performed.
Improper fractions in the final answer must be converted to mixed numbers.

All the above components of the fraction program are included in this package, plus a fraction calculator. Instructional movies are included for each component of the program.
Early fraction concepts and recognition are presented, with colorful custom toolbars for student input.
The student is guided through steps of calculating equivalent fractions -- reducing to lowest terms, expanding fractions (e.g. 1/3 = 2/6), and converting improper fractions to mixed numbers.
Finally, the student is guided in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of fractions and mixed numbers.
Useful illustrations help guide the student, in addition to step by step help as the student works independently with the program. The student cannot skip steps, and cannot progress to the next step until the current one is completed correctly. Additional help is given for incorrect responses. This program has been kid tested throughout development, and the testers discovered that they got all the help they needed during every step they performed.

This is a coordinate graphing program that draws pictures. My experience in the classroom has shown that students enjoy graphing, if they can draw pictures while they do so.
The user can choose different background colors, then draw different colored lines and circles by entering numbers on a coordinate graph. Tutorials are given for graphing lines and circles on a coordinate grid. Some student sample pictures are included.
Screen saver that shows the development of student sample pictures is included. $39.50

This program graphs polynomial equations up to the 5th degree, written in standard form. Multiple equations may be graphed, in different colors if desired.
A variety of grid sizes may be chosen, and the graph may be dragged to view a different position.
Additional features facilitate finding zeros, or particular x and y values of an equation.
Interface color choices and a page of "fun" activities allow artistic/mathematical play that will develop intuitive understanding.
