So get ready to have fun with Number Magic! With your computer and the Number Magic module, you can explore the world of numbers on your own. The activities in Number Magic are easy to understand and fun to play. The computer helps you by explaining each step as you go along.
===Quick Quiz===
If you press the '''1''' key, Quick Quiz begins. A screen appears that asks if you are ready to begin the quiz. If you are ready to begin, just press '''ENTER'''. When you do, the message HERE WE GO! will appear on the screen.
Quick Quiz then gives you ten easy addition problems, one at a time. Just press the right number keys to put in the answer. For example, if the problem 2+5=? appears on the screen, you would press the '''7''' key as the right answer. (The question mark shown in the problem is a clue to how many numbers or "digits"_are in the correct answer. One question mark means the correct answer is a one-digit number. Two question marks mean the correct answer is a two-digit number; three question marks, a three-digit number.)
When you begin the quiz, you will see a white rabbit in the upper left corner of the screen. As you answer each example, the rabbit hops one space to the right and keeps track of how many problems you have done. Each time you give the right answer, you'll see the word "CORRECT" appear in the middle of the screen just below the example, and you'll hear four musical notes. If you give a wrong answer, a "TRY AGAIN" message will show up in the center of the screen under the problem, and you'll hear a low "uh-oh." This means you should try to answer that same problem again.
During the quiz your score is displayed in the lower right corner of the screen. You have three chances on each problem to get the right answer. If you get the right answer on your first try, you score ten points. If you need a second chance, you score seven points. When your answer is right on your third try, you score four points. If your answer is wrong on the third try, you'll see the right answer, and a "NO SCORE" message comes up on the screen.
After ten problems, you get your total score and see how well you've done. A reward screen with "PERFECT" at the top appears when you score 100%. If you earn a score of 85% through 99%, you see a screen with "GOOD" shown above the score. A "FAIR" reward screen pops up for a score of 70% through 84%. Any score below 70% is simply displayed on a separate screen.
After completing the first group of ten problems, this screen appears.

If you want to keep on playing, press the '''1''' key. Ten easy subtraction problems will come on the screen, one at a time, for you to answer. Once you have completed these and see your score, you again have the four choices. If you choose '''1''' again, you go on to ten new addition problems that are a little harder. Pressing '''2''' will allow you to select another activity. If you choose '''3''', you get to work your last ten problems again. If '''4''' is pressed, you leave the Number Magic module.
''Note:'' If you start to enter a wrong answer and have not typed the last digit, pressing '''C''' or '''SHIFT C''' erases the incorrect answer. (This does not work on one-digit answers.)
