Choosing the section you want to work with today:

Once you have decided what section you want to work with, (Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication or Division) you can click on that name in the left window. This will show you that section in the middle window.

Choosing the level you want to work with today:

There are 3 levels in each section. The questions become more difficult with each level. You can change levels at any time and still keep your score. So, if you choose level 1 and decide that it is too easy you can then choose level 2 or 3 and keep your score.

Entering your name:

Type your first name into the field indicated and press the TAB key on the keyboard. The TAB key is located on the left side of the keyboard, next to the Q key. This tells the computer who you are so it can send you messages and keep track of your score.

Entering the answer to questions:

Then, type the answer in the answer box and press the ENTER key. The computer will tell you if the answer is right or wrong.
The computer will ask you to try again if the answer is not right. You can then check your work and type a new answer into the answer box. If you are having difficulty, the computer will give you the correct answer after 4 tries and will ask you to choose the next question.
The computer will congratulate you if the answer is right and you may then get the next question.

Choosing a new question:
To choose a new question, you can press the red button in the center of the window at any time.
