CONGRATULATIONS on purchasing an ARCADEMIC™ SKILL BUILDERS IN MATH program-software that provides fun while practicing basic math skills for players of all ages. This innovative game combines fast action, colorful graphics, and an arcade game format with learning that creates persistence and involvement found in arcade game players.
This game is based on a theory of combining proven educational techniques with a highly motivating format that challenges the player to learn. The game control options allow the control of the speed at which the game is played, the numbers that appear in the problems, the length of each game, and the mode-whether controlled by joysticks or keyboard-in which the game can be played. These options maximize the fun and learning by providing:
A Note To Parents
Developmental Learning Materials and Jerry Chaffin and Bill Maxwell of the University of Kansas have developed six programs to help your child learn the four basic math operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Four programs emphasize each of the math operations, and two programs develop discrimination between math operations by presenting problems in both addition and subtraction or in multiplication and division. In all six programs, an arcade game format uses colorful graphics and lively action to create an exciting, involving atmosphere for learning.
Demolition Division, one of the six Solid State Cartridges, can help your child increase speed and accuracy in division problems with answers from 0 to 9. Demolition Division is learning combined with fun. By playing the game, your child learns and improves essential division skills. The arcade game format of Demolition Division is a fast-paced, battleground version of attackers versus defenders. Green tanks that have division problems on their sides are the attackers. The defenders are a battery of four blue guns, each controlled by your child, that "equalize" the tanks with the correct answer. Different levels of skill and problem difficulty challenge your child to improve speed and accuracy. Demolition Division's colorful graphics and "electronic" sound effects enhance the action and add to the excitement.
As the game is played, the total of "hits" (correct answers) and "misses" (incorrect answers) is continuously updated and displayed at the bottom of the screen. At the end of the game a RECORD YOUR SCORE screen appears, giving the totals for that game and the lowest and highest game totals for the session. But whatever the score, your child is gaining valuable practice in solving simple division problems each time she or he plays Demolition Division.
