MULTSTEPS is a multiplication tutor written for the TS1000/1500 by Alex Sweitzer of Fayette City, PA. The program epitomizes how computers can be used as teaching tools in the classroom or on the job. The program takes the student step-by-step through the process of multiplying a three digit by two digit number, gently correcting the student as needed. Included is a neat “reward” sequence at the end of the session for a job well done.
The lines that follow are from listing 1 and have inverse graphics contained in them. In order to eliminate any confusion, we are listing them here with an explanation of the graphic characters.
