WORDPROBS v1.0
WordProbs is a word problem tutorial. Most folks I have worked
with in the past seem to do well in math until they encounter
word problems. The difficulty stems from their inability to
pick apart the problems into discrete sections and to then
create mathematical equations from those sections. This is
where WordProbs comes in. I have sat down and worked several
problems of each type of word problem, analyzing it and show
how to go about solving it. Each type of word problem, such as
distance, cost, interest, age, etc, is made up of two sections:
(1) tutorial, and (2) sample problems for the user to try out.
To get the WordProb program up and running,
you need the following:
286 or better processor
CGA/EGA/VGA graphics
512K conventional memory
Keyboard
Inquisitive mind
The program may be started by changing to the directory you have
copied the program into and then typing WORDPROB
After the program has started, the user can move through the
various screens with the arrow keys and the Page Up/Down keys.
That's it! Nothing complicated at all.
I hope you find this program useful.
