I am looking for information about some machines we had in my elementary school back in the late 1970's.
I would be brought to this room a few times a week to do advanced mathematics in what they called the 'math lab'

The machine/computer worked with a series of Vinyl LPs which had corresponding books. If I remember correctly, the LP sleeves were mostly white and they had a code on each box (LP and book inside)
The code was a purple rabbit, or a green turtle. I'm sure they had other animals as well.

You would place the LP on the top of the machine and slip on the headphones and listen for instructions. I can't even remember if there was a screen involved or just a worksheet...

Any info would be greatly appreciated. I'm having a tough time searching for it online.

Thanks!
-Thomas
