Hi,

We indeed need something like that in KDE-Edu. What would be nice is to have 
some visuals for kids aged 6 years old or so that start addition (2 apples + 
3 oranges, that sort of concept as well a some visual for multiplication, 
soustractions and division).
It's exactly the right time to start working on that and maybe Alexander, who 
joined us a few days ago, could work with you. 
If your application is alread in a working state, you can now take the next 
step which is to import it to kdenonbeta cvs. I can give you any further 
guidance in order to do so. kdenonbeta is the place to be before joining 
another module as it allows you to see what kde development is really about 
and it also allows you to work with others.

If you decide to work further on your application in order to put it in the 
kdeedu module, I suggest you describe what you've done (maybe some 
screenshots) and what your ideas are and we could have a brain-storm session 
to see what would be the best, based on teachers expertise maybe!

Welcome to the Edu team!

Cheers,
