It sounds like a simple application that requires only basic math would be best. The calculator demo is good for this, in the sense that it requires no math at all, only that math functionality be authored:
put fld 1 + fld 2 into fld 3. From here I would make a game of it If fld 1 > fld 2 then answer "Greater" else anwer "Less" The sky is the limit, except for the commitment and labor involved in doing it.

From Slashdot post: Olga Khazan writes in The Atlantic that learning to program involves a lot of Googling, logic, and trial-and-error—but almost nothing beyond fourth-grade arithmetic. Victoria Fine explains how she taught herself how to code despite hating math. Her secret? Lots and lots of Googling... http://developers.slashdot.org/story/15/09/02/222226/you-dont-have-to-be-good-at-math-to-learn-to-code Ok. Googling, logic and trial-and-error. How far could a person learn this platform, LiveCode, just using these skills: Googling, logic and trial-and-error? I have discovered with a lot of surprise that the people who could benefit most from learning to program using LiveCode (Teachers and Artists), are too scared to begin as a result from previous "learning experiences". How could we show LiveCode as an easy to learn Programming Tool for Teachers and Artists? Thanks in advance!
