Sanctuary Woods and Addison-Wesley Launch New Mathematics Software Series

Joint alliance creates software that correlates to Addison-Wesley
textbooks

SAN MATEO, Calif., October 26, 1994 -- Sanctuary Woods Multimedia Inc. and
Addison-Wesley Publishers Ltd. announced they have released Adventures in
Flight, the first CD-ROM title in their joint mathematics software series
that correlates to several Addison-Wesley textbooks, as well as to the
NCTM Standards.

Adventures in Flight marks the first title in Addison-Wesley's Real World
Math Series. The software covers math concepts such as operations,
measurement, numeracy, geometry, and graphing. Also included is
substantial cross-curriculum content in the areas of weather, career
exploration and more. Correlations to Addison-Wesley textbooks will be
outlined in an included booklet. Currently the software correlates to the
textbook series Quest 2000, Addison-Wesley Math, and Addison-Wesley
MathQuest.

This first program in the series helps kids ages 7 - 11 grasp mathematics
concepts in a "real-world" airport environment. Students apply and
practice math concepts by helping different airport workers (e.g. baggage
handler, aircraft technician, air traffic controller, pilot) use math in
their daily lives.

"The interactive environment of Adventures in Flight encourages children to
explore, discuss and apply mathematical concepts and skills in real-world
situations," said Tony Vander Woude, president of Addison-Wesley
Publishers. 'Through their experiences, children build an understanding of
the interrelationships between mathematical concepts and identify relevant
purposes of math in everyday life. Rather than traditional
drill-and-practice methods, this progressive educational program utilizes
both exploration and application."

In a unique arrangement, the two companies have co-created both home and
school versions of Adventures in Flight. Addison-Wesley will sell and
market the school version, which has several added features specific to
the school user (see below); Sanctuary Woods will sell and market the home
version.

Components of the School Version:

* The software uses real world applications to cover math
  concepts that conform to the NCTM Standards.
* An accompanying booklet offers information on integrating
  Adventures in Flight into any textbooks in the Addison-Wesley
  Mathematics textbook series.
* An accompanying teacher's guide offers lesson plans, blackline
  masters, follow-up activities, homework activities, and paper
  airplane models for creating replicas of the airplanes studied.
* A Teacher Mode allows educators to track the progress of each
  student. There is an unlimited number of log-ins for the school
  version.
* A Math Log provides a journal so students can communicate their
  learning.
* A Flight Log is set up to let students earn "Air Time."
  Students become certified to view photographs, statistics, and
  a destination for the appropriate aircraft. Students can also
  print plans for a paper version of an airplane.
* Additional content information on airplanes, airflight and
  airline companies that teachers can use for group student
  projects such as running their own airline. Suggestions on how
  to incorporate the content is included in the teacher's guide.

Sanctuary Woods and Addison-Wesley plan to release several additional
titles in the Real World Math Series that correlate to mathematics
textbooks. New titles under development will have students explore how
math is used in environmental study and the arts.
