A Program Development Course was given to teachers about the TuxMath. The teachers applied the TuxMath in their classroom during their teaching and learning process of basic mathematics operation in primary education. Then the teachers were interviewed and test papers were prepared for students who learned basic mathematics operation using TuxMath and without TuxMath. The teacher's response and students marks were analysed. The result showed that TuxMath had a significant positive impact among the teachers and students, and the latter preferred TuxMath rather than using the traditional method of teaching basic mathematics operation in Level One.
