low this is a video on the Recon test
this is a great piece a software which
download and run on your own computer
it's used to practice arithmetic skills
and it's for kids to professionals I'm
gonna demonstrate the program first to
see if you like it
and then I'll show you how to download
once you've downloaded in
installed the software you'll see under
all programs
reckon test three says a very easy to
use
interface it start session
and this is highly customizable you
select the type of problems
you'd like to do I think I'm going to do
multiplication and division problems
then you can either click values are hit
next
and you're gonna be going down this list
here this is the size
number since you're going to be working
with I think I'm gonna work with numbers
up to 100
the number of decimal places it you're
going to allow
one decimal places but I'm going to
choose this is the difficulty level
and there are some
options here that you can check out in
terms feedback
and how long you're gonna practice I
think I mean a practice for a minute
and you can play against another player
I'm going to just do this by myself and
now we've made all selections
we click ready to continue this is where
we're going to put in her name
and when she ready
you hit start
usually starts out with an easy one
I sing about this program is you can hit
in the number and hit enter
two times white 1s point2 six times
.5 history and this is division
3.4 divided by twenty-two's
this is a divide if I move the decimal
point one place to the right target 34
divided by
to which is 17 3.3 divided by
1.1 history 7.2 divided by
point 8 is nine 2.5 divided by .5
x5 I got that one wrong
to divide it by
are two times points7 is 1.4
and that's the end of the session
because I was doing it for one minute
they give you a very nice report here
grazier me
date the problems how long you took on
them
and it also tells you the ones were
incorrect so
10
times .5 should have been five
I believe I was thinking division that's
why I got
dan you can print this out
for you can't close
and that's how this program prints and
you can
set up yourself another one if you want
but I'd like to do now
show you how to download the software
case you're interested getting it
it is at WWW dot
4x4 software dot and L
and here is the website and they have a
nice website
they do have some screenshots that
tell use different things about the
program and how it can be customized for
various uses
right here's the download
and you click right here to download it
and it's pretty typical I prefer to save
this in an area where
I know I'm going to be able to find it
later so you proceed with the download
as usual
I'm gonna go ahead and cancel that
because I've already done that
and then you go through the installation
see you navigate
to where you downloaded the file and it
is approved
pretty typical installation I hope you
enjoy the Recon test
and it will help you learned to do
mental math more successfully
