How about a little Calculator type device made by TI called Little Professor?

It gives the choices you mention( +, -, *, / ), as well as choice of level
of difficulty in numbers( 1 digit or more ). It gives a you two numbers
to perform an operation on, and a time limit for responce. it does this for
a sequence(I beleive its seven operations), and then shows how well you did.

Good luck, and have a great day.
