Challenge Students

Talking Arithmetic Tutor can show how to solve arithmetic problems at many difficulty levels. Some students learn best when occasionally challenged by harder activities. Challenges can motivate learners to progress as they get a view of what lies ahead. Occasionally challenge students by choosing problems or difficulty levels that they have never tried. Try a new arithmetic operation. Students should try to solve the problems and then watch to see how the Tutor does it. Did they get the right answer? Did they get all the steps in the solution correct? This provides an opportunity for the students to identify easy and hard problems. They can discuss why problems are hard and the skills they need to learn.
