Each operation is divided into progressive stages carefully aligned with grade levels β€” from simple one-digit exercises to advanced multi-digit and long-division problems. Students can solve questions in horizontal or vertical format, whichever way they prefer. Addition β€’ Stage 1: One-digit + one-digit (e.g., 3 + 5=?) β€’ Stage 2: Two-digit + one-digit (e.g., 23 + 7=?) β€’ Stage 3: Two-digit + two-digit with carrying (e.g., 28 + 15=?) β€’ Stage 4: Advanced negative numbers (e.g., 5 + (-3) =?) β€’ Stage 5: Advanced negative numbers (e.g., 25 + (-13)=?) Subtraction β€’ Stage 1: One-digit – one-digit (e.g., 8 – 3=?) β€’ Stage 2: Two-digit – one-digit (e.g., 42 – 6=?) β€’ Stage 3: Two-digit – two-digit (e.g., 58 – 27=?) β€’ Stage 4: Advanced: Negative numbers (e.g., 5 - (-3) = ?) β€’ Stage 5: Advanced: Negative numbers (e.g., 25 - (-13) = ?) Multiplication β€’ Stage 1: Single-digit Γ— single-digit (e.g., 5 Γ— 6) β€’ Stage 2: Two-digit Γ— one-digit (e.g., 23 Γ— 2) β€’ Stage 3: Two-digit Γ— two-digit (e.g., 34 Γ— 12) Division β€’ Stage 1: Division without remainder (e.g., 36 Γ· 3 = 12) β€’ Stage 2: Division with remainder (e.g., 47 Γ· 7 = 6 R5) β€’ Stage 3: Long division without remainder (e.g., 234 Γ· 6= 39) β€’ Stage 4: Long division with remainder (e.g., 235 Γ· 6= 39 R1) β€’ Stage 5: Long division advanced with zero in quotient (e.g., 913 Γ· 3= 304 R1) Students can personalize their learning experience by choosing an emoji avatar or uploading a photo from the camera or gallery.
