Help with math tutor

hey guys I'm writing a math tutor program and i need it to keep track of the number of correct scores as well as number tries and i also want to have 5 answer options, i have the basis of the code but the others elude me.
I'm also trying to write this without any global variables. thanks.
here's what i have so far
