What Is the Math by Hand Application?

The Math by Hand application familiarizes you with mathematical

algorithms for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. For each

of these, three different modes are available:

•Step-By-Step mode shows the problem worked out one step at a

time, emphasizing place value in the base-ten system for each

algorithm.

•Fast Math mode shows the problem worked out in an animated

sequence that is similar to how you would solve the problem on

paper.

•Missing Pieces mode is a quiz that presents solved problems with

blank place values. You supply these place values to complete the

algorithm.

The Math by Hand application is a concept application that TI wants to

share with our customers, educators, and students before the product

definition and testing are complete. It is an alpha software version, and as

such, it may contain imperfections, or the coding may be incomplete.

TI invites your feedback concerning the functionality and educational

value of the Math by Hand application. Please send your comments and

questions to [email protected]i.com.

press Tor

Uto select

START.

Using Step-by-Step Mode

The Step-by-Step mode shows an explanation of each step that

you take to solve a problem. This mode emphasizes the base-ten

system to help develop the fast algorithm for an operation. Each

place value is shown separately with details; zeros that are

usually left off for efficiency are shown, and carrying numbers to

the next higher place value is handled in a developmental form.

1. Select an operation from the SELECT AN OPERATION menu.

2. Select

STEP-BY-STEP from the SELECT A MODE screen.

3. Enter the first element of the problem, and then press ¯

or the appropriate operation key (¥, , , or ).

4. Enter the second element of the problem, and then press

¯.

Tip

If you make a mistake when you enter a number, you can correct

it in one of the following ways.

•Press sto delete the entire number.

•Press _to move the cursor to the incorrect number, and then

enter the correct number.

•Press ^to delete the digit at the cursor location.

5. Select

START to display the first step in solving the problem.

6. Select

NEXT STEP to display subsequent steps until the

problem is solved.

7. Select

REPEAT to erase the solution so that you can step

through it again.

—or—

Select BACK to return to the SELECT A MODE menu.

—or—

Select NEW to enter a new problem for the same operation.

The examples below show the algorithms used to solve

problems for each type of operation.

Addition

Example: 34 + 27 = ?

First, the values in the ones place are added, and the

partial sum is shown: 11 =4+7.

Note: Instead of showing the carrying of the 1 to the

tens place above the 3, the partial sum of the values

in the ones place, 11, is shown. This helps students

who are learning the algorithm for the first time or

those who have trouble lining up their writing.

Next, the values in the tens place are added and the

partial sum is shown: 50 =30 +20.

In the final step, the partial sums are added and the

answer is shown: 11 +50 =61.
