Math Sprint

Timed mental arithmetic that adapts to you โ€” addition to percentages.

Solve as many problems as you can in 60 seconds. Three in a row levels you up โ€” harder problems are worth more points. Mistakes knock you down a level.

Sixty seconds. How many can you solve?

Math Sprint is a timed mental arithmetic game that adapts to you. Answer three in a row correctly and the problems get harder โ€” and more valuable. Miss one and you drop back down. The result is a workout that keeps you right at the edge of your ability for the full sixty seconds.

The five levels

  1. Warm-up โ€” single-digit addition.
  2. Two digits โ€” addition and subtraction into the double digits.
  3. Times tables โ€” multiplication through 12ร—12.
  4. Power math โ€” division and two-digit multiplication.
  5. Expert โ€” percentages, squares, and big sums.

Mental math tricks that raise your score

  • Left to right: add 47 + 38 as 70 + 15, not the way you learned on paper.
  • Round and adjust: 29 ร— 6 is 30 ร— 6 โˆ’ 6 = 174.
  • Percent flips: 25% of 80 is just 80 รท 4 = 20, and p% of q always equals q% of p.
  • Squares near 10s: 21ยฒ = 20ยฒ + 2ร—20 + 1 = 441.

Number sense pairs nicely with raw speed โ€” see how your reaction time compares, or apply the pattern instinct on the IQ test's number series section.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does scoring work?๏ผ‹

Each correct answer earns 10 points times your current level. Three correct answers in a row promote you a level (up to level 5); a wrong answer demotes you one. Higher levels mean harder problems and faster point gains.

What kind of math is in the sprint?๏ผ‹

Level 1 starts with single-digit addition. By level 5 you're doing two-digit multiplication, percentages, and squares โ€” all designed to be solvable in your head with the right technique.

What's a good score?๏ผ‹

Beginners typically score 200โ€“400 points in 60 seconds. Over 800 is strong, and over 1,200 means you've reached the top tier and stayed there.

Does mental math actually improve with practice?๏ผ‹

Dramatically. Mental arithmetic is one of the most trainable cognitive skills โ€” most players double their score within a week of short daily sprints as number facts become automatic.
