20. School-Mom for Windows, Volume 1 (Colorbook)
Colorbook for Windows is the first in a series of Windows educational
products from MES and GoWest Educational Software. The goal of
this effort is to produce software that will take your child from
his/her first introduction to a computer to college-level concepts.
ColorBook for Windows is the first program in this series.
The purpose of Colorbook for Windows is to introduce your pre-schoolers
to computers. The skills learned at this stage are primarily mouse
skills such as pointing and clicking. These are skills which are
inherently difficult to learn and requires eye, hand and finger
coordination. To help your child in this endeavor ColorBook is
designed with large, easy-to-locate mouse cursors which indicate
function. Each mouse action is accompanied by prompt visual and audio
recognition of events for instant feedback. In ColorBook, the only
new concept introduced to your child is be the mouse.
In addition to the educational benefits, ColorBook for Windows
also removes the dangers of a traditional paper coloring book by
eliminating the crayons. We all know these usually end up coloring
much more than just the coloring book! For the old-fashioned at
heart ColorBook for Windows has the capability of printing
uncolored pictures which the child may then color using crayons.
To counter the dangers of having a child use the computer on
which may reside important information and documents, Colorbook for
Windows possess a feature called Kid Mode. When this mode is
activated (the default) ColorBook may not be minimized or exited.
In effect, ColorBook takes over the Windows display for itself
while not affecting programs running in the background.
Colorbook is designed as a complete Windows application and
supports CUT, COPY and PASTE of bitmaps in device dependent and
device independent format. ColorBook supports reading and writing
bitmap files in compressed (the default) and uncompressed format
(to be compatible with Windows PaintBrush). ColorBook for Windows
can print the colored picture in full color if a color printer is
available to Windows, otherwise the image will be printed in
black and white. With Colorbook you can also create your own
pictures using straight lines, freehand, boxes, circles, ovals and
text. An erase capability is also available. As you can see its
a full-featured program.
Requires Windows 3.1 or later version. By GoWest and Motes Educational
Software. ($15)

up to 100 in steps of 1 to 6. It's easy - just count on from the
square you are on, the number thrown on the dice. At the end of the

the computer or a friend and if you just want to play for fun you also

25. Math Explorer Series
This series of math games actually teaches math with clever, high
quality color animation. Students learn math concepts, not just
number facts. Topics ranging from counting through division are
taught as the students catch and move numbers or objects around
the screen with the mouse. Sets of objects are used to introduce
the math concepts including regrouping. Multi-digit addition and
subtraction are taught in the traditional one's-column, 10's-column,
etc. manner used in schools. Problems are solved in the same
column-by-column manner in the practice games. Formerly, computer
programs require students to add multi-digit numbers in their head
and then type in the number from left to right.
Each program consists of a series of games to introduce new concepts
or practice learned skills. Each game has it's own individual help
screen. Since all interaction can be done through the mouse, the
students do not need to look from the screen to the keyboard and back
each time a question must be answered. All of these games were
play-tested with students, parents, and teachers to make sure they
were easy to learn and fun to play. The speed of the moving objects
and the difficulty of the questions can be varied independently. EGA,
DOS 2.1 and 512k memory is required for all three programs. By First
Magnitude and available through Motes Educational Software.
Math 1 -- Number meaning, Counting, Addition, and Subtraction to 10
(7 games) ($15)
