Math Message is designed for teachers who teach Elementary schools and Parents whose children are in Elementary School. The purpose of the program is to create worksheets with a key that contains the alphabet with associated numbers, and a message which consist of blank spaces with the associated math problems. Solving the Math Problem will give the numbers associated with the key. I've tried to make the program as simple to use as possible.
