Piggy's Birthday Present is a colorful CD-ROM for early learners that builds English language arts and mathematics skills. Piggy's Birthday Present offers five murals each in mathematics and language arts. Students complete the murals, picture by picture, by answering questions at three different skill levels appropriate for Kindergarten, first, and second grades.
Activities provide a sequenced progression of concepts and skills.
The Skills Summary feature gives teachers the content description for each mural at the easy, medium, or hard level. Students can work individually or in groups, and student work is always saved and recorded in the Skills Summary after every session. Motivation and reward is keen in Piggy's Birthday Present - students can print their pictures, search for hidden treasures, and receive special certificates. Sophisticated graphics and animation with whimsical characters and magical scenes all add to the fun.
