Why is an automatic problem generator better than a textbook?
Every parent knows the struggle. Your child needs to practice addition and subtraction, but the textbook has a limited number of problems. Once solved, the answers are memorized. Coming up with your own problems is time-consuming, and we often fall into repeating the same numbers. Our online generator solves this – offering an unlimited number of problems that never run out.
Customize the difficulty exactly to your needs
Not every child is at the same level. Our tool allows you to select exactly the difficulty your student needs right now. Whether you are starting with first graders or practicing with second graders, we have these levels ready for you:
- Up to 10: The ideal start for the youngest. Children solidify basic connections, which is key for future calculation.
- Up to 20 (without crossing 10): For example, 12 + 5 or 18 - 4. Great for understanding work with tens and ones without complications.
- Up to 20 (crossing 10): This is often the biggest nut to crack. Problems like 8 + 5 or 13 - 7 require the child to understand the principle of "breaking down numbers." Regular practice works wonders here.
- Up to 100 (without crossing): Adding and subtracting whole tens or simple calculations like 40 + 20 or 85 - 5.
- Up to 100 (complex): For more advanced counters who already confidently master the basics.
How does it work?
It's simple and fast.
- Select the desired difficulty at the top (e.g., "Up to 20").
- Choose the operation – plus (+) or minus (-).
- Click the "New Exercise" button.
- The app generates a problem, the child calculates the result, and immediately finds out if they calculated correctly.
Immediate feedback ("HURRAY" or encouragement upon a mistake) is a strong motivation for children. They don't have to wait for a parent or teacher to check their notebook – they see the result right away.
Tips for effective practice
- Consistency is key: 5-10 minutes a day is enough. Short but frequent repetition is more effective than an hour-long marathon once a week.
- Mix it up: Practice addition for a while, then switch to subtraction. This keeps the brain on its toes.
- Start easy: Choose a lower difficulty at the beginning to "warm up" and gain confidence, then move on to harder problems.
