FAQ

Are the problems randomly generated?

Yes. Every problem is randomly generated based on the selected grade's number range and operation types, ensuring fresh questions each session and preventing rote memorization.

Can results be negative?

Negative results are enabled for Grade 3 and above. For lower grades, the system ensures all answers are non-negative, matching the curriculum requirements for those levels.

Will division problems produce decimal answers?

No. Division problems are always generated with exact integer answers, keeping the difficulty appropriate for elementary school students.

Will my practice history be lost?

History is stored in your browser's local storage. It will not sync across devices and may be cleared if you clear your browser data. Taking screenshots is recommended for long-term records.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. The tool is fully optimized for mobile and tablet use. The virtual numpad is touch-friendly and the layout adapts to smaller screens automatically.
