What is the Integer Maths Generator?

The Integer Maths Generator is a web-based tool designed to create math practice questions involving integers (whole numbers, including positive, negative, and zero). It generates questions for basic arithmetic operations—addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division—based on user-selected parameters. The tool is interactive, user-friendly, and mobile-responsive, making it suitable for embedding in a WordPress post or using standalone in a browser. Key features include:

• Customizable Parameters:
  • Number of Digits: Choose 2 to 9 digits for the numbers in questions.
  • Operations: Select addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (×), or division (÷).
  • Number of Questions: Generate 5, 10, 20, or 30 questions at a time.
• Random Numbers: Numbers are randomly generated as positive, negative, or zero, with negative numbers displayed in parentheses (e.g., (-45)).
• Whole Number Answers: Division questions ensure integer results (e.g., 12 ÷ 4 = 3).
• Output: Questions and answers are displayed in separate boxes.
• Additional Features:
  • Reset Button: Clears all fields and resets settings.
  • Copy Button: Copies questions and answers to the clipboard (requires HTTPS).
  • Download Button: Saves questions and answers as a .txt file.
  • Error Handling: Displays errors if something goes wrong (e.g., missing elements).
• Purpose: It’s a tool for creating practice worksheets or quizzes for math education, suitable for students, teachers, or parents.
