How to Use the "Math Problems" Group of the Time Savers Add-in for PowerPoint
Please note: Some changes may have been made to the Time Savers Add-in for PowerPoint since the making of this video.
The “Math Problems” group is part of the “TS Content” tab of the Time Savers Add-in for PowerPoint.
The tools in this part of the Time Savers Add-in make it possible for you to:
- Quickly and easily generate math problems (addition, subtraction, multiplication or division).
Number:
- Indicate the maximum number of math problems you wish to generate.
- Note: if there are not enough unique math problems based on the number ranges and settings you choose, the maximum number of possible math problems will be generated.
Options:
Thousands separator:
- 1,234,567 (commas)
- 1.234.567 (dots)
- 1 234 567 (spaces)
- 1234567 (no separators)
Format:
- Table – tables will be inserted, with the math problems in the table cells.
- List – shapes will be inserted with all the math problems in a shape in the form of a list.
- Separate shapes – separate shapes will be inserted, with each math problem in its on shape.
Style:
- Problem = _______
- Problem =
- Problem
Addition:
- Choose whether or not you want to include problems with regrouping (carrying).
- Choose whether or not you want to include reversed order questions (e.g. 2 + 3 and 3 + 2).
Subtraction:
- Choose whether or not you want to include problems with regrouping (borrowing).
- Choose whether or not you want to include problems with negative answers (only possible when you have chosen to include problems with regrouping).
Multiplication:
- Choose whether or not you want to include reversed order questions (e.g. 2 × 3 and 3 × 2).
Division:
- Choose whether or not you want to include problems with remainders.
Number Ranges:
- Enter your desired number range for the 1st number and 2nd number in the math problems.
- Number ranges can be indicated in these ways:
- 1-100 (all numbers from a minimum to a maximum)
- 5 (one number only)
- 5s (first 10 multiples of a chosen number)
- 5s 5-100 (all multiples of a chosen number, from a minimum to a maximum)
Generate:
- Generate your math problems by clicking on your desired math operation symbol.
