Words for Numbers
This program gives practice in expressing numbers in words. The user begins by selecting the range of numbers to be practised using the range buttons.
A number in the selected range is
displayed. The user must click on
the word or words that mean the same as the displayed number. If the
correct
word is selected, it will briefy display with a green background, e.g.
before displaying to the right of the number. If more than one word is required for the answer a blinking cursor will display after the word.
If the wrong word is selected, its
background will briefly
turn red, e.g. 
before returning to the normal background
colour.
The user must then
click on another word. When the correect words have been
selected a
tick will display; the next number will then be displayed.
A cumulative success rating of up to five stars is displayed. This is based on 5 points awarded for each correct word selected and one point deducted for each wrong word.
Different sound effects accompany right and wrong answers. The sound effects can be turned off using the options in the Sound menu.
When the user has finished the set of numbers in the selected range, the same range or adifferent range may be chosen. The numbers are presented in random order.
For the two higher ranges the set of numbers will be different each time.
