electronic numbers processor that allows students to solve basic
addition, subtraction, multiplication and division problems
directly on the computer. Students do all their own calculations.
MathPad is the perfect tool for students who have difficulty doing
math with pencil and paper or who need help organizing or
navigating through math problems. Suggested skill level: first
grade through adult.

Enter Your Own Problems
Use the 300 bonus problems that come with MathPad or enter your
own. MathPad allows the teacher or student to enter problems
directly into the program or to import problem lists created with
a word processor. MathPad automatically sets up problems using the
correct vertical format. Students can go to the Problem List box
to check their answers. MathPad places a check if the problem is
answered correctly, or a dash if it’s incorrect. The program
lets you set up a file for each student and keeps a portfolio of
his or her work.
