About the Module

Addition and Subtraction 3 is an exciting way to practice mathematics. The module uses color, sound, music, and animation to bring math alive. The practice exercises challenge your child, and at the same time make learning fun. You can be confident that this module was carefully designed to provide a solid foundation in essential mathematics skills.

Addition and Subtraction 3 teaches and provides practice in the second and third grade skills of addition and subtraction with 2- and 3-digit numbers. The module introduces the concept of renaming (carrying and borrowing) in addition and subtraction. The eight activities in Addition and Subtraction 3 follow the same sequence of skill-building that most classroom teachers use and should be done in numerical order.

Look for these special features in the module:

  • simple instructions which allow children to use the module with little or no supervision
  • teaching examples, practice exercises, and review activities
  • built-in management that allows children to advance at their own pace and provides additional teaching examples when necessary
  • musical and graphic rewards for correct answers
  • color, sound, and animation
  • voiced reinforcement of directions and correct answers through optional use of a speech synthesizer
  • numbers which are randomly generated so children receive new problems each time the exercises appear
  • two chances to answer each exercise correctly before the computer supplies the correct answer
  • durable hardware and software components with useful keyboard functions programmed into the module
