Background

Exercises for kids on computers (arithmetic etc) have a hard time competing
with the various computer games that kids become engrossed in. Nevertheless these
excercises have a value and are useful if they can be easily accessed and used on a
regular basis.

The conclusion is that they must be

• enjoyable to do and rewarding (progress with answers),
• simple in structure,
• quick and easy to start,
• flexible (adaptable to skill),
• limited in scope (1 or 5 exercises ...; 5 or 10 minutes or whatever the situation requires)
• easy to do alone, with friends or together with a parent (teacher).
