Learning Benefits for Your Child - Target Number gives your child the opportunity
to apply the skills of adding, subtracting and multiplying by targeting a specific
number. This demonstrates the ability for your child to test his or her memory of
these math concepts.
ACTIVITY INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Slide the activity selector to “Target Number.” You will hear
a short tune and a friendly voice will say “Pick a level.” In
this activity, all numbers must be selected by pushing
the ENTER button once your number is highlighted. All
operation signs must be selected by using the
mathematical input devices.
2. You will hear a target number first and three numbers
will be shown on the LCD screen. You may only use each
number once to reach your target number. Any
combination of these numbers and operation signs can be
selected but you must use all three numbers. For example,
you will hear “Use 4, 8 and 2 to reach 0.”
3. If by accident you select the wrong number or sign, you
may use the ERASE button to delete your answer.
4. If you answer correctly, you will hear “You’ve got it!” You
will then advance to the next question. If you answer
incorrectly, you will hear “Oops, try again!” and the target
number and numbers available will be repeated. You will
be able to enter your answer again. If you answer
incorrectly on your third try, you will hear an incorrect
sound effect followed by “This is the answer.” The correct
combination of the numbers and operation signs will be
repeated.
