Introduction:
MATHkbsre is a bilingual grade school mathematics tutor and exercise 
workbook.  It covers addition, subtraction, multiplication,
division,number series, fractions, decimals, distance, time, momey, weight 
from grade 1 to 6 of elementary school.  No other software covers such scope
and depth as covered by MATHkbsr in a single package. The languages used are English
and Malay. User can choose the language for the exercise.

Animated tutorials have been created to explain concepts either before the 
exercise or as the questions are being attempted during practice sessions.  
User has direct access to the parts of the tutorials that are relevant to them.

The workbook software differs from the rest by making every question unique
so that the understanding of the child can be truly tested.   To assist in 
learning a question can be re-attempted using different values by pressing 
the button : "Try similar question."  

To  stimulate learning a bonus point will be granted for every successive 
correct answer to new question posed by pressing :" Get question". 
Questions generated by pressing the "Get question" option is completely
random within the context of the sub-topics selected. 

A reward awaits every five successive correct answers.

report, a 5-successive-bonus-points need to be earned within 15 minutes by
"Do test with timer".
