The Stickybear Word Problems program provides beginning practice at analyzing and solving math word problems for children in grades 1 through 4 and up.

The program captures the interest of students while teaching crucial mathematical skills.

Students solve math problems related to everyday situations such as calculating the number of cookies left on a plate or counting the number of holes in a pair of torn jeans.

Deductive as well as arithmetic skills are put to use.

More than 350 math word problems provide plenty of active practice in any combination of addition, subtraction, and simple multiplication.

This open-ended program is versatile and easy-to-use. Teachers can even tailor the program for a whole class or an individual.

Teachers can also add their own problems at any time and the program produces reports for assessment. Problems can be printed for take-home use as well.

Students are rewarded with animations featuring the Stickybear family when they answer correctly. When a student answers incorrectly, the program displays the correct procedure for solving the problem.

Teachers can specify the starting level, number of tries, and number of operators for each student.
