From warm-up sums to real mental math
| Levels | Operations | Answer options |
|---|---|---|
| 1–10 | Addition, small numbers | 3–4 |
| 11–30 | + subtraction | more as you climb |
| 31–40 | + multiplication | more as you climb |
| 41+ | + division; numbers grow to 200 at the top | up to 6 |
With six options, estimating alone stops being enough. The level follows your results automatically, so the game stays in the zone where you have to concentrate but can still win.
Tips to calculate faster in your head
| Trick | Example |
|---|---|
| Round and correct | 49 + 37 = 50 + 37 − 1 = 86 |
| Split a number | 8 × 27 = 8 × 25 + 8 × 2 = 200 + 16 = 216 |
| Estimate first | With answers to choose from, a rough estimate often rules out most options at once |
| Learn anchors | Squares up to 15, multiples of 25 and 12 make many problems instant |
Why practise mental arithmetic
Mental math is a skill like any other: short regular practice makes it quicker and less effortful. It shows up when you split a bill, compare prices or check a number at work.
