Education is an important aspect in the lives of each individual especially in Singapore where it starts as early as at the age of two or three. It is important to ensure that our education system is enhanced with the integration of technology to provide a better experience rather than the old-school method of using the hardcopy assessment books. The disadvantages of this assessment books are that the number of questions in each topic is limited. Problems sums are the main part that students have the most problem with as that section carries the most marks and are able to pull their grades down. Hence, this project is then developed on the sole purpose of having an online assessment for students to have unlimited number of questions of a certain topic in the form of problem sums. In addition, this helps develop thinking skills that will enable students to perform better in finding solutions to mathematical problems in the future. The databank of this system has to be dynamically flexible for it to be able to generate more questions that require smaller database. This can be done through modelling of templates of questions. This system caters for Primary 5 Mathematics for students to practice on unlimited number of questions by topic and type.
