Homework – Double Digit Addition without Carrying
My son decided to pretend to be sick from school the other day, so after we finished all the work the teach gave us, I decided to make him some extra work. This code will generate a page with 25 double digit addition problems. They haven’t learn to carry over digits yet, so all sums are less than 10. Maybe someone else out there could get some benefits from it.
[System.Collections.Generic.List[PSObject]] $page = @()
$j = 0
$blank52 = "<td height=""52""> </td>`n" * 9
$blank20 = "<td height=""20""><br></td>`n" * 9
while($j -lt 5){
[System.Collections.Generic.List[PSObject]] $rowA = @()
[System.Collections.Generic.List[PSObject]] $rowB = @()
$i=0
while($i -lt 5){
$a = Get-Random -Minimum 1 -Maximum 10
$b = Get-Random -Minimum 0 -Maximum (9-$a+1)
$c = Get-Random -Minimum 1 -Maximum 10
$d = Get-Random -Minimum 0 -Maximum (9-$c+1)
if(($b + $d) -gt 0){
if($b -eq 0){$b=' '}
$rowA.Add("<td class=""xl66"" height=""52"" width=""115"">$a$c</td>`n")
$rowB.Add("<td class=""xl65"" height=""52"" width=""115"">+ $b$d</td>`n")
$i++
}
}
$tableRows = New-Object System.Text.StringBuilder
$tableRows.Append('<tr height="52">') | Out-Null
$tableRows.Append($rowA -join('<td class="xl66" width="15"><br>')) | Out-Null
$tableRows.Append('</tr><tr height="52">') | Out-Null
$tableRows.Append($rowB -join('<td class="xl66" width="15"><br>')) | Out-Null
$tableRows.Append("</tr><tr height=""52"">$blank52</tr>") | Out-Null
$page.Add($tableRows.ToString())
$j++
}
$bodyTop = @'
<html><head><title>math</title><style>.xl65{mso-style-parent:style0;font-size:36.0pt;mso-number-format:"\@";
text-align:right;border-top:none;border-right:none;border-bottom:1.5pt solid windowtext;border-left:none;}

$bodyTop + $page -join("<tr height=""20"">$blank20</tr>") + $bodyBotton | out-file '.\math.html'
Hi – thank you. I am certainly going to make use of this. What a fantastic idea and it never ceases to amaze me what great ideas people come up with
