ABSTRACT

The  structure of a CAI system developed at CET (Centre
for   Educational   Technology)   in   Israel  will  be
presented.

The main success of this system has been in the area of
arithmetic  in  elementary  school.  Implementation and
evaluation  results will be analyzed.  A logical expan-
sion  should  be towards the teaching of mathematics at
secondary  school  level.  The difficulties encountered
in  the development, and the reason for a joint project
with the University of Waterloo will be discussed.
