How to play
Choose sums up to 10, up to 20 or up to 100, then press Go. Type the answer with the on-screen number pad (or a keyboard). As soon as the answer is right, the next sum appears, with no need to press enter. When the minute is up, you’ll see how many you solved and your best score for this visit.
Nothing is saved or sent anywhere. Your best score resets when you close the page.
Why practice speed?
Being able to recall facts like 7 + 6 quickly frees up a child’s working memory for harder math, like multi-digit addition and word problems. The goal isn’t pressure. It’s making basic facts feel automatic, so children can think about the bigger problem.
Tips for parents and teachers
- Compete with yourself. Encourage children to beat their own score, not a sibling’s or classmate’s.
- Pick the right level. If a child scores under 10, drop a level. If they score over 30, move up.
- Warm up with a worksheet. A short addition worksheet first, followed by a speed round as a reward, works well in class.
- Stop on a high. Two or three rounds is plenty. End after a personal best.
Frequently asked questions
Can children use a keyboard?
Yes. Number keys, Backspace and Escape all work, as well as the on-screen buttons.
Are the sums ever too big?
No. At "up to 10" the answer is never more than 10, and likewise for 20 and 100.
Is any information collected?
No. The game runs entirely in the browser and keeps nothing.
What is a good score?
There is no single target. Most children improve steadily with a few rounds a week, so compare today’s score with last week’s rather than with anyone else. If scores stop climbing, a short worksheet at the same level often helps.
Can the whole class play at once?
Yes. Each device runs its own game, so children can play on tablets or computers at the same time. Nothing is shared between devices and no sign-in is needed.
