accountability. If it could be split into different levels....and the

each
level that would be nice.

That's been my experience, too. Tux Math was the first program I installed
on our school LAN while experimenting with how to add Start menu shortcuts
to people's profiles under Samba. Unfortunately no-one uses it because the
little kids find some of the questions much too hard, and the older kids
find 1+1 too easy. Perhaps if it posed questions based on the times tables
the kids are working on, plus a proportion of revision material as well?
