Calculator

The calculator supplied with + - Win-Flash × ÷ works much like the calculator supplied with Windows. You may click on the number buttons or use the key pad to enter your figures. You can insert the answer into the active FlashCard by clicking on the Insert Figure button. (Unlike the Solve button found on the FlashCards, when a answer  is entered from the calculator, that answer  will be reflected on your score.)

The calculator's back color represents the active FlashCard by color.

Disable the use of the calculator from within the Parental Options window.


FlashCards

Start a Flashcard by clicking a FlashCard button or from the menu.

The flashcard displayes a problem for you to solve. Enter the answer to the problem from the either the keypad or keyboard* then press the ENTER key or click on the Next button to load a new problem.

*You can also select the Multiple Choice Mode from the options menu, providing the option has not been disabled from the Parental Options

Using the Solve button to solve a problem will not affect your right & wrong answer scores, using the calculator will.

All FlashCards have 4 different levels. Level 1 is the easiest with each level progressing in difficulty.


Grading

Report Card Grading uses following percentages.

90 to 100 % =  A
80 to 89 %   =  B
70 to 79 %   =  C
60 to 69%    =  D
Below 60%  =  F


Introduction

Thank you for trying + - Win-Flash × ÷ Version 1.0. I hope that this program will help children ( and adults ) improve their mathematical skills, while maintaining a certain amount of fun. I've included four skill levels within all four groups (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) and a numbers table with selective ranges for all the groups.

There is a  Parental Option  that will enable or disable the calculator or the multiple choice mode. It seemed to me that the multiple choice mode made solving the equations a bit too easy, and the calculator....

Version 1.0 is the first release of + - Win-Flash × ÷, I would appreciate your ideas, bug reports, suggestions, or just a word about the program.

Thanks

Pete
