This is the RARE, Classic, educational game, Compu-Math Arithmetic Skills by Edu-Ware for the Apple II Plus, Apple IIe, Apple IIC, Apple IIGS.
It is tested and is working.Edu-Ware was one of the earliest (1979-85) educational game makers for Apple II computers.
DESCRIPTION:Compu-Math: Arithmetic Skills was the third and final program created in the Compu-Math series, being introduced in Edu-Ware's December 1, 1980 catalog. Arithmetic Skills seven learning modules inc...lude tutorials on counting, addition, subtraction, mulciplication and addition. The program also includes a learner management system for changing the system parameters, instructional parameters, and performance criteria. Originally developed by Edu-Ware founder Sherwin Steffin as a text-based program, Edu-Ware upgraded it to hi-res graphics in 1982; however, its name was not changed, unlike the other two product in the series. The program's documentation put forth its educational model: "Instruction should be individually proscribed. Arithmetic Skills accomplishes this by changing its procedure depending upon the studen profile and performance.
"Instruction should not be text dependent." The program uses graphics so that minimum emphasis is not placed on reading skills.
"Instruction should use decremented cues." As the student progresses in the program, decreased cues give the learner more self-prompting responsibility.
"Instruction should use cognitive/motor stimulation." For learners unfamiliar with the keyboard, a graphical hand presses depictions of the keys on the display and a set of visual prompts are set up.
"Instruction should be a conceptual sequence." The program attempts to achieve learning by building on acquired skills rather than relying on repetition alone.
A 1981 Peelings II review noted that while the program makes an attempt at applying formal learning theory in a way that is comfortably, easy-paced, and non-intimidating, Arithmetic Skills "is also devoid of the fun aspect that makes computerized learning human and inspiring. The sole reinforcement is an ever increasing complexity of the problems".[1] The program was featured in the company's catalogs until its closure in 1985.
