(Y/N) [N] ~% Demo and problem pointers ************ ~OP First do the one's place. ~OP K|Always start with the one's place, ^0f. ~NP Next do the \1's place. ~NP Ok so far. Now for the \1's place. ~I0 Convert the improper fraction to a mixed number. ~I1 A fraction means divide. ~I2 Enter the quotient. ~I2 What is the quotient? ~I3 Enter the remainder. ~I3 What is the remainder? ~I4 The quotient is the whole number part of the mixed number. ~I5 The remainder is the numerator. ~I6 Use the same denominator. ~m0 Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction. ~m1 First multiply the whole number part, \\1, by the denominator, \\2. ~m2 Next add the numerator, \\1. ~m3 This gives the numerator. ~DE Great, we have done \\1 exercises so far. After doing \\2 you can try on your own. ~OW K|Now you can try it on your own ^0f. Good Luck. ~PR You have completed \\1 exercises correctly out of \\2 in \\3 seconds. ~AR Now add in the carried number. ~% Grade book stuff ~GB GRADE REPORT: This session Number Correct \\1 Number Incorrect \\2 Percent \\3 ~GK GRADE REPORT: Cumulative Number Correct \\1 Number Incorrect \\2 Percent \\3 ~% The places ************* ~P0 one ~P1 ten ~P2 hundred ~P3 thousand ~P4 ten thousand ~P5 hundred thousand ~P6 million ~P7 ten million ~P8 hundred million ~P9 trillion ~% General Directions ******** ~ND At least one student is needed.

Just a minute. ~LQ Loading questions. ~GR K|Get ready for the questions, ^0f. ~TO Now that you see how to do it, try some on your own. ~DD Let's solve this one together. ~DD K|Let's do this one together ^0f. ~DD K|Let me help you ^0f. ~CD Check this digit. ~PD K|Let's do some more demos to strengthen your skills, ^0f. ~CA Make sure your answer is correct. ~CA When you finish an exercise, check it carefully. ~CA Make sure your answer is correct. ~NF Not finished yet ~BR Please enter a number between \\1 and \\2. ~GE No exercises have been done this session yet. Touch a key to continue. ~GC Exercise types which have been attempted are marked. Touch a key to continue. ~% Addition directions ********* ~PP We put the \\1 in the \2's place. ~RR Remember to regroup. ~LD First line up the decimals. ~TW Now treat this like a whole number exercise. ~AR Remember to add in regrouped numbers. ~% Subtraction directions ********* ~SB \\1 is smaller than \\2, so we regroup. ~SU Now we subtract \\1 from \\2. ~S0 We cannot regroup using the zero in the \1's place, so we try the \2's place. ~SW Now treat this as a whole number subtraction exercise. ~S1 We can't rename the 0 in the \1's place. ~S2 So we first rename the \\1 in the \2 place. ~S3 Now we can rename the 10 in the \1 place. ~SR If you can't rename the \1's place digit then rename the \2's place digit. ~% Multiplication Directions ******** ~MF First multiply the top number by the digit in the one's place in the second number. ~MD Multiply the top number by the digit in the \1's place in the second number. ~MU Now multiply \\1 by \\2. ~MZ This zero means that we are multiplying by the digit in the ten's place. ~DP The decimal position of the answer is the sum of the decimal positions of the two numbers. ~% Division Directions ********** ~RE Remainder ~CR Be sure to check the remainder. ~DI How many times does \\1 divide into \\2? ~DS Now subtract \\1 from \\2. ~DL \\1 is too large. ~DW \\1 is too small. ~% Fraction Directions *********** ~RD You can reduce your answer further. ~IV When you divide two fractions always invert the SECOND fraction before you multiply. ~% Personal messages ************ ~PL KL|^0f likes ^1 ~PM KC|^1 ~Pm F|^0f has ^0h hair. ~Pm F|Your ^0r ^0f has ^0h hair. ~Pm F|^0f has ^0e eyes. ~Pm F|You have a ^0r with ^0e eyes and ^0h hair.
