FlashMath

Designed and written by Ben Gotow (the son of Default Folder author Jon Gotow), FlashMath is an easy-to-use flash card program that teaches basic math. Designed especially for computer-loving students, FlashMath uses an "eat your vegetables" approach to learning math. It intermittently interrupts whatever the student is doing to quiz him or her on a set of flash cards. The student's score on the quiz determines how long they can use the computer before the next quiz session interrupts. FlashMath is loaded with features and has been proven effective in the classroom and at home.
