EARLY MATH

EarlyMath is an arithmetic practice program for 5-7 year olds.

EarlyMath is for practicing arithmetic for 5 to 7 year old children - Key Stage 1 in UK education-speak. The program presents random problems at a range of levels.

• PyQt >= 3.4 (www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk)
• Qt >= 2 (www.trolltech.com)
