The following is a short description of this version:
This colorful children's educational software is destined
to become the world's best. SCHOOL-MOM version 3.58 is a
complete educational tool for children ages 4 to 14. It
contains multi-level modules for Math, Music, English,
Spelling, Art, and Time. It also contains an exam generator
with some exams already provided. Tunes are use for rewards.
With this software you can have fun and learn at the same time.
For the long description of this version, add the following:
MATH - This module contains four levels of addition and
subtraction, four levels of multiplication and division,
four levels of prealgebra math, and a option called
Bug Numbers that teaches the concept of multi-digit numbers.
It also contains two arcade math games. The first, Laser
Blast, is a counting game that teaches quantity. The
second, Applespider, is an exciting game that drills you
in basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
MUSIC - This module has three levels of difficulty. Each
level allows you to use the keyboard to write tunes as
you watch the notes appear on the screen. As the learning
level increases, the capability increases. The first
level allows seven notes to be played in seven octaves.
The second level also allows the note duration to be
changed. The third level has the additional capability of
sharp and flat notes. Tunes can be edited, stored and played
back for later use.
ENGLISH - This module contains four learning levels. The
first level allows you to choose from lists of nouns,
verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. The computer then makes
sentences from the chosen words. This will teach you how
nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs are used in sentences.
The second level shows a line of scrambled words. You are
asked to use the arrow keys to unscramble the words and make
a sentence. While you unscramble the words you must try to
beat the clock to get additional points. You must also watch
out for the flying arrows.
The third level teaches sentence structure by showing a random
sentence from the data files and asking you to choose the
proper structure. The fourth level teaches subject-verb
agreement by displaying a random sentence from the data files
and asking you to choose the missing verb. These two English
options can be useful for older people also!
SPELLING - This module contains five options. These
are Alphabet, Random Words, New Spelling Homework, Last
Spelling Homework, and Old Spelling Homework.
The Alphabet option is for preschoolers and teaches upper and
lower case alphabet. The upper case letter is shown and you
must choose it's lower case equivalent.
The Random Words option has four learning levels. In the
first level a three letter word is shown for three seconds
then you must spell the word. As the learning level goes up
the words get longer.
The New Spelling Homework option is for entering your daily
spelling homework so the computer can drill you on the words.
When you are done you have the option of storing the words
for later use.
The fourth option, Last Spelling Homework, allows you to
recall the last set of spelling homework words. The fifth
option, Old Spelling Homework, calls up all the old spelling
homework words and drills you on these.
ART - This module allows you to show creativity and have fun
while doing it. You can choose from one of 5 options. These
are Draw, Spider Webs, Space Tunnels, Space Worms, and Space
Ribbons. The Draw option allows you to draw freehand with
either the joystick or the mouse. The Spider Webs options
allows you to control the actions of a spider who leaves a
web behind him. The last three options allow you to create
beautiful screen art with three-dimensional qualities using
either a joystick or the keyboard.
TIME - This module has four learning levels that teach
you to tell time. A clock is shown on the screen and you
must choose the correct time from a list of three answers.
The difficulty increases with the learning level chosen.
EXAM - This module allows teachers or parents to create
multiple choice examinations. The exams are graded with
the scores placed in a score file. Some exams are already
provided on the disk.
