ArithHelper is an
electronic workbook for the four basic arithmetic operations and is
made-up of three programs:
i. The Drill Sergeant program generates random problems for the
selected operation for a specified level of difficulty. The child will
solve the generated problem just as one would do with a printed
workbook. This method of entering the solution is believed to be
unique to this program. The program will verify each step; the program
can be set to keep score either in timed or untimed mode; or it can
also be set not to score at all. The program will keep the score of
multiple sessions to aid in evaluating the child’s progress. The
program tracks the progress of a total of four students. In this way,
this component is equivalent to a multi-year workbook; a consumable
item is replaced with a reusable resource. Because it verifies the
intermediate steps and can be used in timed mode, it goes beyond the
capabilities of a printed workbook.
ii. The Homework Helper program
checks (just like
the Drill Sergeant does) the child’s answer step by step for a problem
specified by the child. This component makes the
program to be superior to printed workbook or any other comparable
computer program.
iii. The third program, Time Teller, generates a time in a random
fashion and shows the position of hands on a selected clock face. The
program can be set to select the time in hourly, half-hourly,
quarter-hourly and by the minute. Also, there are six clock faces to
choose from fully marked to a blank one.
Next Gen Electronic Workbook
Many of the features of this product extend the concept of the printed
workbook to a new level to be truly called the next gen workbook. Just
like the traditional workbook, ArithHelper also provides practice
framework by randomly generated problems and the students follow the
same steps they would have followed if they were using pencil and
paper. Please take a look at the
screenshots for a demonstration.
