[ID: The Little Professor] I need the name of an old math toy.
« on: Tuesday 29 April 2014, 04:27 am »
Back when my sister was about eight years old she bought a math toy form our neighbor's garage sale. The houses in my area were built in the 1970s so it is probably from around that time too or maybe early 1980s. It was hand held like a calculator and was yellow. I also remember that it had a professors face on it and then a red screen for the problems and then his hands with a book in them. You had everything on ti addition, subtraction, multiplication and division and there were about four levels. I would love to share a picture of it but the toy has since worn out and been thrown away. My sisters and I had a blast doing our practicing on it. So can anyone help me out?

Could it be called Little Professor? It's from Texas Instruments and made in the late 70s.
