 '''Quick Quiz''' is an ideal activity for a young child just beginning basic addition and subtraction. Randomly selected addition and subtraction examples are presented for him or her to answer. In this activity there are only two levels of difficulty. Level One is the easiest; Level Two is the hardest.
-'''Comp Quiz''' offers two ways to test and build skill and speed in problem solving. Your child can either use the Memory Bank feature to store up to ten problems to answer ... or choose to let the computer present ten problems. If your child elects to let the computer give the problems, he or she can then choose one of four levels of difficulty (Level One is easiest; Level Four is hardest) and the kind of problem to be given (+, -, x, or ÷). He or she also has the option of supplying the missing number or missing answer in a problem, and of deciding whether or not to use the timer when playing.

-'''Electroflash''' helps to develop speed and skill in basic math tables. Your child can choose any math table (+, -, x, ÷) for any number from zero through nine. He or she can also decide whether to fill in the missing number or the missing answer in the problem, and whether or not to race against the clock. Then by answering the randomly selected problems, your child can check his or her speed and accuracy.

 Number Magic encourages your child to attempt a right answer more than once by giving a positive response of "TRY AGAIN" for an incorrect answer. Number Magic also motivates your child by recognizing right answers and good scores with colorful and pleasing reward screens. Problems are presented in groups of ten. If all ten examples are answered correctly, a score of 100% is earned, and the child sees an engaging reward screen with the word "PERFECT" at the top. Scoring in the range of 85% through 99% gives an appealing reward screen with the word "GOOD" appearing above the score. Any score between 70% and 84% will generate a reward screen with the word "FAIR" appearing at the top of the display. For a score under 70% the child sees the score earned displayed on a separate screen.
