From the supplier: Mary A Otondo Elementary School in Yuma, AZ is a school that makes exemplary use of computer technology. Each classroom is equipped with an Apple Macintosh computer, and there is an emphasis upon self-paced learning modules. In part, this is necessitated by the fact that 120 of the school's 970 students are in the English as a Second Language program; many of these students are the children of migratory workers. Using Turbo Math Facts, an imaginative mathematical software program from Nordic Software Inc, the school reports excellent results in both performance levels and overall self-esteem. This is particularly true of the ESL students, since the program is not a language-based one, but employs the metaphor of racing cars as a means of drawing students into a problem-solving matrix.
