A downloadable project for Windows and Linux

This program came into being when my daughter started pre-school 2 years ago. Now she's 7 years old and is attending grade 2. Consequently the program has been extended by many new exercises, all as per material she has been learning in school. Several exercises, (mostly those at the end of the list), through multiple levels, go beyond 2nd grade, probably ending up in high school territory.

The program now contains 5 arithmetic exercises; 

  • +/- (in 4 levels), 
  • multiplication/division  table (adjustable from 5*5 to 12*12), 
  • 3 digit multiplication and division.

There are also numerous  non arithmetic exercises; 

  1.  Comparison (>, =, <) in two levels - integers and fractions 
  2. Odd, Even
  3. Sequence (3 levels)
  4. Before, Between, After
  5. Position Value
  6. Graphical Fractions (3 levels)
  7. Clock (5 levels)
  8. Arabic->Roman 
  9. Roman->Arabic
  10. Money change USD
  11. Money change Philippine Peso
  12. Alphabetic sorting of English words
  13. Skip counting with skip ranging from 2-10
  14. Skip counting with negative skip from 2-10
  15. Missing X - find operand in simple arithmetic equations in 3 levels
  16. GAPESA - Text given math problems in 8 levels (+, -, +-, *, /, */)
  17. Perimeter/Area problems in 4 levels

Program is very simple to operate, and very easy for parent to control later what was the child up to. Each exercise set (min 1, max 30 exercises) is allotted certain amount of time, and when exercises are completed, if time was exceeded, penalty (again certain number of exercises) is given. After that if there were any mistakes, again additional exercises are given.

Child very quickly learns that accuracy,  and speed are important.

Program keeps the record of all exercises, and child's answers, black for correct answers, and red for errors.

Current version of math-quiz is v4.3.1

math-quiz is written in Scheme (Racket compiler v8.11)

Install instructions

Download one of four executable compressed files (according to your platform).

1. math-quiz.zip (windows 10/11 zipped executable)

    To start the program, download the file to your HD and extract it. This will create math-quiz directory with the exe file in it.  Just double click on the exe file to start the program.

2. math-quiz.tar.gz (compressed Linux x86 version)

   To start the program, download the file to your Linux HD, and unpack it. Then CD to  math-quiz/bin directory, and just double-click on the program icon. Depending  what Linux distribution  you have installed, maybe you will have to start it from the terminal.

3. math-quiz-rpiXXX.tgz (Linux Arm tarballs - Raspberry Pi version)

     XXX -> 32 (compiled on Raspberry OS - Buster 32bit)

     XXX -> 64 (compiled on Raspberry OS - Bullseye 64bit)  

   To start it, do the same as for Linux above. Double-click works on Raspberry OS.

I'm no longer posting source files here because (a), you can download the latest version directly from GitHub: https://github.com/hrvoje064/math-quiz-jasna ,

and (b);  the easiest way to install math-quiz package (if you have Racket installed), is to click on File->Install Package... (in  any opened DrRacket window) and search for math-quiz. After the installation is completed, open the terminal, and type: racket -l math-quiz.

If installed as a Racket package, math quiz can be updated directly from the main window of math-quiz, by clicking on Help -> Update math-quiz menu.
