The Speak & Math (or Speak & Maths in some countries) was a popular and
revolutionary electronic toy created by Texas Instruments in 1980. Speak &
Math was one of a three-part talking educational toy series that also included
Speak & Spell and Speak & Read. The Speak & Math was sold in both the
United States and in Europe; it was originally advertised as a tool for helping
young children to become better at mathematics. The Speak & Math had a
distinct gray with blue and orange color scheme.
The unit could utilize either 4 "C" batteries or 6 volt DC power adapter.
The display resembled a vacuum fluorescent display, not unlike an LED display.
The Speak & Math used a TI TMS5110 chip for voice synthesis. The Speak & Math,
like the earlier Speak & Spell, also had the ability to expand its memory using
expansion modules that plugged into a slot near the battery compartment.
Speak & Math had five distinct learning games: Solve It, Word Problems,
Greater Than/Less Than, Write It, and Number Stumper, all playable at three
levels of difficulty. Solve It is the classic math problem-solving game where the
participant must solve five math problems to the best of their ability. Number
Stumper is a game of Bulls and Cows, whereby one is told the "number [of digits] right"
and the "number in wrong place." Write It involves the participant typing the number
they hear. Greater Than/Less Than involves whether the number on the left is
greater than or less than the number on the right.
