Math games

Practice that feels like play

Math Sprint is a 60-second race through sums with four answers to choose from. It starts with simple addition and works up through subtraction, times tables and division as your score climbs. Sum Trail practises quick addition on a grid of digits, where you drag a trail through touching numbers that make the target. Number Forge is a puzzle with no timer: combine a few number tiles with addition, subtraction, multiplication and division to reach a target.

Choosing the right game

Younger players and anyone warming up should start with Math Sprint, because the first questions use numbers up to 10 and the difficulty only rises as you answer correctly. Sum Trail is ideal for number bonds and adding several small numbers in your head. Number Forge suits older students and adults who enjoy planning, since each target needs a short chain of steps worked out in advance.

At home or in class

All three games run in a web browser on laptops, tablets and phones, with nothing to install and no account to create. Every answer is a whole number, and division always comes out exactly. Scores are saved only in the browser you play on, which makes the games easy to use on shared school devices. A few minutes a day is enough to notice faster recall. Number Forge never runs out of time, so it suits players who like to think slowly, while Math Sprint and Sum Trail are better for building speed.

How scoring works

In Math Sprint every right answer scores 1 point, a wrong answer takes 3 seconds off the clock, and the run lasts 60 seconds. In Sum Trail a trail scores its length squared times 10, so a five-number trail is worth 250, and every number you clear adds a second to a clock that starts at 90. Number Forge has no points and no clock: the challenge is reaching the target, which can be as high as 999 on later levels, and the game counts your steps. Best scores and unlocked levels are saved in your browser, so you can come back later and try to beat them.
