Introduction
============

        Welcome to the world of Kiddy Maths and Mathematical Learning! This
software is primarily intender for use by primary school children (ages 6 -
12 approx.).  Kiddy Maths is able to cater for a broad age group by allowing
varying degrees of difficulty to be set. Please note that this software is
merely a learning aid and is no substitute for a structured mathematics
program created by a qualified teacher. Kiddy Maths is basically a program
that allows a child to quickly and easily practice mathematic sums. Like
many things that a person learns practice is required for improvement. Kiddy
Maths is an ideal practicing tool for simple maths equations because it
generates random sums and provides feedback to the player in the form of a
score counter.
