At the moment, user (esp. children) will gain score by providing the correct answer. This is good enough initially to learn but personally, I don't think it is challenging. For example let's say I learned today that 8+7=15, next time when same question comes is asked I will get same point for solving it. It would be engaging if you gain more point for solving it quicker.
So the way it works would be, when a question appears it will show timer of 30s. If question is solved within 5s then, full point is provided lets say its 10, then the point decrease, (8 for 10s, 6, for 15s) and at the end the timer disappear and minimum point is awarded for for answering it correctly else 0.
This is just guess, but I think this is encourage to solve problem quicker and be better at maths. Since, this app does not have any leader board or compete with other people, this feature will make you compete against your previous score. Even so, a goal can be set to obtain certain score to improve. Ultimate top score would be to solve all the problems in less than 5s.
