* DIVIDE WITH A REMAINDER explains division when there is a remainder.
* MAKE A PICTURE provides a review of the divisors 1 through 9. Your child creates a picture by answering the problems correctly.
The Division 1 module advances your child to more difficult activities if 80 percent of the drill problems are answered correctly. lf less than 60 percent of the problems are answered correctly, the computer returns to the tutorial activity, providing your child with more practice. This automation helps to alleviate anxieties caused by consistently incorrect responses, thus making the learning of mathematical skills a pleasurable and rewarding experience.
With this module, Texas Instruments continues its tradition of applying innovative Solid State Speech TM technology to educational activities. Division 1 is designed to work with or without the Texas Instruments Solid State Speech<sup>TM</sup> Synthesizer (sold separately). However, the Speech Synthesizer must be attached to activate the voice of the computer. The computer's voice then gives directions, reads the equations, and encourages your child to "Try again" when he or she gives an incorrect answer. The addition of speech strengthens the learning process since your child can hear, as well as see, the correct answers.
