Overview
You can choose any one of the
basic operations - Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication or Division. The
program picks random numbers for the math drills from a range of user-provided
numbers - you can set the range to be anywhere between 1 and 999. Each operation
has its own unique range. You define the range by providing two numbers:
the Lowest number and the Highest number. The program will then randomly pick numbers
that are between these two numbers. Click the Setup button to set your number
ranges.
The math operations are
presented in large, colorful numbers that are easy to register in your mind
because your mind can remember colorful images better than plain text.
The primary object of NumFun
is
to
correctly answer as many math operations in as little time as possible.
Over time, this will greatly improve your mental ability to resolve larger
math problems with ease.
Your
score is continuously displayed in percent format, based on the ratio of your
correct and incorrect answers. The Solve button allows you to quickly skip a
problem that you can't solve. There is a Scoreboard that displays the results of
your progress - the number of problems solved, the number of correct and
incorrect answers you have entered, and the number of times you may have clicked
the Solve button.
Skill
Level
There is also a Skill Level
indicator, which displays a ratio of the number of correct answers entered
versus the amount of time elapsed. The higher the indicator value is, the better
your skills are. Incorrect answers and/or too much time spent on solving
problems will weaken the Skill Level. Caution - this indicator has proven to be
quite a challenge! :) Try and keep it constantly above 50% !!
Input
In order to maximize your time,
it best to use the numeric keypad on your keyboard to enter your responses. Use
the Enter key to apply your answer and move to the next problem. If your answer
is incorrect, NumFun™ informs you of this, and you can re-enter the correct
answer. You can keep re-entering answers until the correct one is entered, or
you can click the Solve button to allow the |
 |
| program to solve the current problem
and move to the next one. The shortcut key for the Solve button is F2. |
Report
When you end your session, or
at any time, you can view a report on your progress by clicking the Report
button. The Report window will open, listing all the math operations that you
have completed, including the incorrect and assisted ones. Your score, skill
level, number of correct and incorrect answers is also listed at the top of the
Report. There is a Print button to print this report, of you can use various
clipboard commands by right-clicking in the Report window.
Print Practice
sheets to Printer
Another feature that is quite useful
especially for schools, or for parents, is the Print Sheets
feature. This allows you
to print nicely formatted pages filled with 35 math problems on each
sheet,
arranged evenly in a grid of 7 rows and 5 columns. For schools, these
sheets with math drills can be handed out to students for practice. NumFun™ also
allows you to optionally print the Answer Sheets for printed drills, which makes
it easy to check the students' answers. The range of numbers used in the
practice drills is the same as that used in the main program. These ranges can
be reviewed or changed by clicking the Setup button on the main screen. Please
note that to you will need to enter a password to access the Print Sheets
screen. The reason for the password is to limit printing abilities to authorized
persons only - for example, you may not want your students printing the Practice
sheets and/or the Answer sheets without your consent. Please send an email
to request the password, and it will be promptly emailed to you by
replying to your email.
