- ROBO.
- ROBO is an addition program I wrote for my seven year old daughter, Amy.
- It presents the learner with a number line (lamentably a bit too small for
- the entire range of values generated) and with random pairs of numbers to
- add together. It gives a bit of positive feedback for correct answers and
- four opportunities to guess or calculate the right answer before giving up
- and presenting a brand new problem. At the end of the program the total
- number of right and wrong answers are presented and the student is encour-
- aged to run the program again.
-
- The numbers generated are all integers. With a bit of modification, the
- program can be made to generate negative integers or real numbers for more
- advanced students.
