I guess you could put everything in one database, as long as you can use the
right tools and queries to get the data in and out of it.
OTOH maybe one database for math games, one for foreign languages, one for
arts, etc. might be easier to administer.

Tux goes to the market. He buys 2 fishes at $2 and 3 fishes at $4. (Insert
local currency). How much did he spend ?

When Tux gets home,  he eats 1/3 of the first fish. How much of that fish is
left ?
If Tux cuts a fish in 6 and eat 2 pieces for each meal, how many meals can he
have ?

...
