Program Attainment’s Addition/Subtraction includes no number greater than twenty and each math problem can be illustrated with an animated movie. It features assessment and instructional modes. Assessments evaluate student progress with detailed record keeping. The instructional module helps students visualize math problems. Here’s how it works.

The computer generates random questions. Users can select answers on the keyboard, or by clicking on a number . . . or the student can choose the “Show Me!” option. Here, the answer is illustrated with a short animated movie. For example, 7 ants join 6 ants, making 13. Choose from four animated characters; sheep, ants, beans and ping-pong balls.
