Little Professor - helping with basic operations since 1976.

Who needs Flash games on the internet? This little beauty is good for the old 'repetition to drill in key facts' approach to common operations and chucking up random sums to practise mental methods.

I had told Hollow Jnr Snr that it was very precious, and to look after it. However, I had not seen it for a while.....turns out she'd put it in a cupboard when it had "gone funny" as she didn't want to tell me, fearing I'd get upset and either cry or get mardy with her. Only needed a change of battery!

So it is back up to full strength, providing multiplication sums for her to improve her quick recall.
