This is a simple program to generate arithmetic problems for kids. It is used to train kids' ability to quickly solve these problems in their heads. Typically, an exercise is timed for 5 minutes to see how many problems kids can solve and how accurately they can solve them.
It generates a PowerPoint Presentation that contains 100 simple arithemtic problems per page. User can specify the number of pages of problems to be generated.
The problems are in the following format.
5 x 9 + 99 =
There can be minus operations as well, but the result will not go below zero since negative values are not taught until much later.
See the attached problems and solutions. There are 100 pages of exercises in there.
