If you want to practice your math skills, try the winning Entertainment script: Quick Math by nomad_Kid. Here is what the author says: “ This app intends to help […] to learn basic arithmetic in a simpler and quicker way. The idea of this app is basically from the memory when I was a kid learning basic arithmetic. Even addition and subtraction within 10 took me many days to get familiar with. At that time, I did plenty of practice exercises. Therefore, I am trying to develop this app that can generate random basic arithmetic questions […]. I hope they can have fun learning basic arithmetic. When I was trying to develop this app, I found an app- LetterDefender, designed by Russel Beattie, which can present my idea very well, so I used some lines of code in LetterDefender. For this version, features included: 1. Question types: "+" , "-" , "*" , "/" , "mixed" 2. Level of difficulty 3. Maximum number 4. Tutorial --- 4 basic math tricks in two slides 5. Bonus questions 6. More sound effects ”
