As pure math operations game, the new version of TuxMath is interesting
too. It just has the 4 operations +-x÷, but you can modify the operation
question, the intervalle numbers, the question, the speed... almost all

E.g. you can make it a substraction manipulation game asking for
questions in the type: a+?=b, ?+a=b and a-b=?, with a and b in the
interval 0-10. You can define the same kind of missions for divisions,
or missions for multiplications in the 10-15 interval.

TuxMath is really funny game, and fun is important with kids. it can
give some ideas for activities in this area.
