MathGenerator

The MathGenerator gem is a tool designed to create a wide range of mathematical problems suitable for educational purposes. It supports basic arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Additionally, it can generate problems with decimals and fractions, making it versatile for different levels of difficulty.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem "math_generator"

And then execute:

bundle install

Usage

Generating Addition Problems

require 'math_generator'

# Problems with integers
problem = MathGenerator::Problem.generate(:addition, 1, 10)
puts problem[:problem]  # Example: "3 + 7 = ?"
puts problem[:result]   # Example: 10

# Problems with decimals
problem = MathGenerator::Problem.generate(:addition, 1, 10, true)
puts problem[:problem]  # Example: "3.5 + 7.2 = ?"
puts problem[:result]   # Example: 10.7

# Problems with fractions
problem = MathGenerator::Problem.generate(:addition, 1, 10, false, true)
puts problem[:problem]  # Example: "3/4 + 2/5 = ?"
puts problem[:result]   # Example: 23/20

Generating Subtraction Problems

require 'math_generator'

# Problems with integers
problem = MathGenerator::Problem.generate(:subtraction, 1, 10)
puts problem[:problem]  # Example: "7 - 3 = ?"
puts problem[:result]   # Example: 4

# Problems with decimals
problem = MathGenerator::Problem.generate(:subtraction, 1, 10, true)
puts problem[:problem]  # Example: "7.5 - 3.2 = ?"
puts problem[:result]   # Example: 4.3

# Problems with fractions
problem = MathGenerator::Problem.generate(:subtraction, 1, 10, false, true)
puts problem[:problem]  # Example: "3/4 - 2/5 = ?"
puts problem[:result]   # Example: 7/20

Generating Multiplication Problems

require 'math_generator'

# Problems with integers
problem = MathGenerator::Problem.generate(:multiplication, 1, 10)
puts problem[:problem]  # Example: "3 * 7 = ?"
puts problem[:result]   # Example: 21

# Problems with decimals
problem = MathGenerator::Problem.generate(:multiplication, 1, 10, true)
puts problem[:problem]  # Example: "3.5 * 2.0 = ?"
puts problem[:result]   # Example: 7.0

# Problems with fractions
problem = MathGenerator::Problem.generate(:multiplication, 1, 10, false, true)
puts problem[:problem]  # Example: "3/4 * 2/5 = ?"
puts problem[:result]   # Example: 6/20

Generating Division Problems

require 'math_generator'

# Problems with integers
problem = MathGenerator::Problem.generate(:division, 1, 10)
puts problem[:problem]  # Example: "8 / 4 = ?"
puts problem[:result]   # Example: 2

# Problems with decimals
problem = MathGenerator::Problem.generate(:division, 1, 10, true)
puts problem[:problem]  # Example: "7.5 / 2.5 = ?"
puts problem[:result]   # Example: 3.0

# Problems with fractions
problem = MathGenerator::Problem.generate(:division, 1, 10, false, true)
puts problem[:problem]  # Example: "3/4 / 2/5 = ?"
puts problem[:result]   # Example: 15/8
