This is a faithful recreation of the FlashMaster, the early-2000s
handheld that drilled every basic math fact. Pick an operation and a level,
then press one of the six yellow activity keys.
Settings
- + − × ÷ cycles the operation.
- LEVEL cycles difficulty 1–9. In Practice, Test, and
Flashcards, level n covers the 0s through ns tables
(level 9 = every fact). In the Table activities it picks
which table you run.
- TIME LIMIT cycles the whole-activity limit for
Practice and Test: off, or 30–180 seconds.
Activities
- Table: In Order — one table, up 0–9 and back down.
- Table: Not in Order — the same table, shuffled.
- Practice — 30 problems from your level. Miss one and
it repeats until you get it; miss it twice in a row and the FlashMaster
shows the answer, then has you key it in.
- Test — 30 problems, one try each, score at the end.
- Flashcards — 30 problems against the clock-on-the-wall:
no limit, but your average seconds per problem is your score.
- Special Problems — replays the 15 problems you missed
most recently, until each is answered correctly.
