the result can be greater than 10.

The program can show step-by-step help when needed,
or children can write the answers in the white boxes on their own.
Children learn how to calculate the perimeter and the area of shapes.
Each problem is generated randomly, so children work with different shapes every time.
If help is needed, the program explains the solution step by step.
In many cases, the program shows two or even three different ways to solve the problem so children can better understand the idea.
