Abstract: 

Our program package for computers has been constructed mainly to assist in teaching. Its characteristic features are as follows: 1) It is constructed for easy handling. 2) Its function carefully follows the content of standard textbooks of high school mathematics. 3) It is aimed at learners who are not so good at mathematics. 4) The package is, at present, restricted to assist studying of only the most fundamental concepts included in the standard textbooks. 5) The introductory parts explaining new concepts are programmed for the screen to change slowly enough. 6) Almost all of the computer screens are programmed with many colours and some with movements. 7) User-friendly manuals to operate the package are being prepared.
