====Remediation====
If an incorrect response is made on the first try in any activity except 9, the computer assists your child by counting groups or objects, or by displaying the corresponding multiplication problem. If two consecutive incorrect answers are made, the module provides the answer to the problem. In Activity 9, the computer supplies the correct answer if the problem is answered incorrectly on the first try. In addition, if your child does not score 60% or better, another teaching example is given.
====Time Out====
The computer says and displays "Your turn" at the beginning of each drill activity. If no response is given in 20 seconds, the computer gives a short beep and says, ''Your turn.'' After 15 more seconds, the computer beeps again and says "What is the number?". If after 10 more seconds there is still no response, the computer automatically provides the answer to the problem. If the Speech Synthesizer is not attached, the computer gives a short beep and displays either "Your turn" or "What is the number?".
===Division 1 Activities===
The nine activities in the Division 1 module are designed to strengthen your child's division skills. Activities 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8 provide the option of selecting a tutorial routine or going directly to the drill. Each tutorial example gives your child the option of viewing more or progressing to the drill portion. Because Activities 5 and 9 are designed as review activities, they do not offer tutorial examples. We suggest that you read through this section completely so that you can help your child select the appropriate starting activity.
====Activity 1: Meaning of Division====
The first activity demonstrates the meaning of division by displaying a random number of objects and then evenly grouping these objects. The activity explains how many objects there are in all and how many objects there are in each group. Then the computer counts the groups for your child. The drill asks your child to determine the number of groups.
====Activity 2: Divisors of 1, 2, 3====
Activity 2 displays a random number of objects evenly grouped in boxes and indicates how many objects there are. Next, the corresponding word sentence appears. The boxes then are counted, and the total moves to the answer position in the word sentence. The corresponding division number sentence appears below the word sentence. After displaying a random number of grouped objects, the drill uses divisors of 1, 2, and 3 and asks your child to complete the number sentence by determining the number of groups.
