The Addition and Subtraction 2 module advances your child to more difficult drills according to the number of correct responses given in each activity. The computer automatically advances to the next activity if your child answers 80 percent of the drill problems correctly. If less than 60 percent of the problems are answered correctly, the computer returns to the appropriate activity, providing your child with more practice. This automation helps alleviate anxieties caused by consistently incorrect responses, making the learning of mathematical skills a pleasurable and rewarding experience. | The Addition and Subtraction 2 module advances your child to more difficult drills according to the number of correct responses given in each activity.

Addition and Subtraction 2 is an educational title developed by Scott Foresman Electronic Publishing for the TI-99/4A home computer system. Addition and Subtraction 2 builds upon the concepts found in Addition and Subtraction 1. It introduces two-digit addition and subtraction whereas, the first volume in the series limits learning to 1 digit arithmetic. It was released during the second quarter of 1981 and distributed on the Solid State SoftwareTM Command Module (aka, cartridge). Addition and Subtraction 2 is also able to take advantage of the add-on Solid State SpeechTM Synthesizer (sold separately) to enhance the educational experience of the program.

Note to Parents
Children need strong math skills to solve today's and tomorrow's problems. The Addition and Subtraction 2 Solid State Software™ Command Module provides the fundamentals that can help your child meet these challenges.
Building on the skills introduced in Addition and Subtraction 1, the Addition and Subtraction 2 module was developed by the staff of Scott, Foresman and Company in cooperation with the Texas Instruments Learning Center. The activities are designed not only to challenge your child with colorful, interesting practices, but also to present the concepts of addition and subtraction in a dynamic, exciting way. Each instructional activity begins with a tutorial segment that demonstrates the concept, followed by the option of continuing the tutorial exercises or progressing to the practice drills. This method allows children to gain confidence and proceed at their own self-determined paces.
The module contains nine addition and subtraction activities.
- COUNTING TO 10 begins the module with a review of the counting numbers 0 (zero) to 10.
- NUMBERS FROM 10 TO 18 provides an introduction to the counting numbers 10 to 18.
- ADDITION FACTS explains addition in the horizontal format.
- ADD ANOTHER WAY provides your child with a smooth and logical transition into vertical addition problems.
- ADD THREE NUMBERS uses number bars to explain the horizontal addition of three numbers.
- ADD IN A COLUMN changes the three-addend horizontal problem to the vertical format.
- SUBTRACTION FACTS demonstrates subtracting a single-digit number from a double-digit number.
- SUBTRACT ANOTHER WAY shows your child the subtraction process in the vertical structure.
- REVIEW THE FACTS gives your child an opportunity to practice all of the skills taught in the module. Also included in this activity is an EXTRA FOR EXPERTS for the child who answers 20 or more review problems correctly.
The Addition and Subtraction 2 module advances your child to more difficult drills according to the number of correct responses given in each activity. The computer automatically advances to the next activity if your child answers 80 percent of the drill problems correctly. If less than 60 percent of the problems are answered correctly, the computer returns to the appropriate activity, providing your child with more practice. This automation helps alleviate anxieties caused by consistently incorrect responses, making the learning of mathematical skills a pleasurable and rewarding experience.
