A Note to Parents

Children need strong math skills to solve today's and tomorrow's problems. The Milliken Math Sequences, along with the TI Home Computer, can help your child meet these challenges. The series allows children to work at their own pace and on the skill level at which they need practice. Children find that learning with the computer is fun, challenging, and motivating. The computer never tires of repetition or loses patience-it's like having a private math tutor!

The Milliken Math Sequences, developed for Texas Instruments by Milliken Publishing Company, consists of twelve Solid State Cartridges. Each cartridge concentrates on a different skill area in mathematics, such as addition, subtraction, integers, or fractions. By providing different levels of difficulty, the series is suitable for children from the kindergarten age through grade eight.

The Integers cartridge is divided into 32 levels of difficulty, covering material generally taught in grades five through eight. The program provides practice using greater than (>) and less than (<)symbols, parentheses within an equation, and, especially, negative numbers. Children add, subtract, multiply, and divide using both positive and negative whole numbers. This program assumes that your child has mastered basic arithmetic and a certain degree of mental omputation.

The Integers cartridge offers several special features that increase its motivational and reinforcement value:

  • Colorful, rewarding graphics and sound effects that appear in response to correct answers.
  • An unintimidating, try-again approach to incorrect answers.
  • A progress report posted at the bottom of the screen.
  • A "help" feature that displays the problem step by step until the final answer is found.
  • Advancement to the next level if problems are answered correctly, or automatic return to a lower level if your Child needs more practice.
  • Report screens personalized with your child's name at the end of each level's activities.
  • An "Exit" screen with a complete report on your child's score at the end of the work session.
