Level 1: counting and first sums

For ages 5 to 7. A child at this level can count on and back, say one more and one less, find the pair that makes 10, add and take away within 20, and count the sides and corners of a shape.

  1. What is one more than 18?

    • 20
    • 18
    • 17
    • 19

    19. Count on one from 18: 19.

  2. 4, 5, 6. Which number comes next?

    • 7
    • 9
    • 8
    • 6

    7. The numbers go up by 1 each time, so the next number is 7.

  3. Fill in the missing number: 9 + ? = 10

    • 2
    • 1
    • 19
    • 0

    1. 9 and 1 are number bonds to 10: together they make 10.

  4. Fill in the missing number: 3 + ? = 10

    • 7
    • 13
    • 8
    • 6

    7. 3 and 7 are number bonds to 10: together they make 10.

  5. What is 10 − 5?

    • 15
    • 5
    • 4
    • 6

    5. Count back 5 from 10: 5.

  6. What is 5 + 15?

    • 4
    • 5
    • 3
    • 6

    4. A square has 4 straight sides and 4 corners.

  8. Put these in order, smallest first: 10, 4, 5, 6.

    4 → 5 → 6 → 10. Smallest to biggest: 4, 5, 6, 10.

  9. What is 3 + 4?

    7. Count on 3 from 4: 7.

  10. True or false: 17, 16, 15. The next number is 13.

    False. 17, 16, 15. The next number is 14. The numbers go down by 1 each time, so the next number is 14.

Level 2: adding and taking away to 100

For ages 7 to 9. A child at this level can add and take away two-digit numbers in their head, with answers up to 100. In the game this level also asks the 2, 5 and 10 times tables, which have a page of their own.

  1. What is 47 − 17?

    • 40
    • 30
    • 31
    • 20

    30. Tens, then ones: 47 − 10 = 37, then 37 − 7 = 30.

  2. What is 34 + 45?

    • 89
    • 79
    • 69
    • 80

    79. Tens, then ones: 30 + 40 = 70, 4 + 5 = 9, so 70 + 9 = 79.

  3. What is 71 − 12?

    59. Tens, then ones: 71 − 10 = 61, then 61 − 2 = 59.

  4. True or false: 67 + 22 = 79.

    False. 67 + 22 = 89. Tens, then ones: 60 + 20 = 80, 7 + 2 = 9, so 80 + 9 = 89.

  5. Put these in order, smallest first: 22, 21, 20, 11.

    11 → 20 → 21 → 22. Compare the tens first, then the ones.

  6. What is 57 + 25?

    82. Tens, then ones: 50 + 20 = 70, 7 + 5 = 12, so 70 + 12 = 82.

  7. True or false: 44 + 28 = 72.

    True. Tens, then ones: 40 + 20 = 60, 4 + 8 = 12, so 60 + 12 = 72.

  8. True or false: 89 − 65 = 24.

    True. Tens, then ones: 89 − 60 = 29, then 29 − 5 = 24.

Level 3: place value, rounding and missing numbers

For ages 9 to 11. A child at this level can say the value of each digit in a number, round to the nearest 10 and find the missing number in a multiplication. In the game this level also asks every times table up to 12 times 12 and the divisions that go with them, and those are on the times tables page.

  1. In 1,988, what is the value of the digit 9?

    • 9
    • 90
    • 900
    • 9,000

    900. The 9 is in the hundreds place, so its value is 900.

  2. Round 631 to the nearest 10.

    • 640
    • 630
    • 620
    • 600

    630. The ones digit is 1. Less than 5 rounds down, so 631 becomes 630.

  3. Fill in the missing number: 12 × ? = 120

    • 9
    • 108
    • 11
    • 10

    10. Go through the 12 times table: 12 × 10 = 120.

  4. Round 591 to the nearest 10.

    • 590
    • 600
    • 610
    • 580

    590. The ones digit is 1. Less than 5 rounds down, so 591 becomes 590.

  5. Fill in the missing number: 12 × ? = 48

    • 4
    • 36
    • 5
    • 3

    4. Go through the 12 times table: 12 × 4 = 48.

  6. True or false: In 1,396, the digit 1 has a value of 1,000.

    True. The 1 is in the thousands place, so its value is 1,000.

  7. Fill in the missing number: 7 × ? = 49

    7. Go through the 7 times table: 7 × 7 = 49.

  8. Put these in order, smallest first: 8,362, 8,326, 8,263, 8,236.

    8,236 → 8,263 → 8,326 → 8,362. Compare the thousands first, then the hundreds, then the tens.

Level 4: fractions, percentages, decimals and negative numbers

For ages 11 to 14. A child at this level can find a fraction or a percentage of an amount, add decimals, count through zero into negative numbers, and knows which part of a sum to work out first.

  1. What is 1/5 of 145?

    • 140
    • 58
    • 116
    • 29

    29. To find a fifth, divide by 5: 145 ÷ 5 = 29.

  2. What is 2/3 of 15?

    • 5
    • 15
    • 11
    • 10

    10. Find 1/3 first: 15 ÷ 3 = 5. Then 2 lots of 5 make 10.

  3. What is 30% of 240?

    • 72
    • 36
    • 210
    • 24

    72. 10% of 240 is 24, and 30% is 3 lots of that: 72.

  4. What is 30% of 600?

    • 90
    • 180
    • 420
    • 60

    180. 10% of 600 is 60, and 30% is 3 lots of that: 180.

  5. What is 0 − 5?

    • −4
    • −6
    • −5
    • 5

    −5. Start at 0 on a number line and count 5 to the left: −5.

  6. What is −5 − 6?

    • −11
    • 1
    • 11
    • −1

    −11. Start at −5 on a number line and count 6 to the left: −11.

  7. What is 3.2 + 4.05?

    • 7.15
    • 7.25
    • 7.35
    • 4.37

    7.25. Line up the decimal points: 3.20 + 4.05 = 7.25.

  8. What is 2.6 + 2.89?

    • 3.15
    • 5.39
    • 5.49
    • 5.59

    5.49. Line up the decimal points: 2.60 + 2.89 = 5.49.

  9. What is 5 + 5 × 9?

    • 90
    • 50
    • 19
    • 34

    50. Times comes before plus: 5 × 9 = 45, then add 5 to make 50.

  10. Fill in the missing number: 15 × ? = 180

    12. Divide to find it: 180 ÷ 15 = 12, because 15 × 12 = 180.

Level 5: fast mental maths

The game's top level, for ages 12 and up and for grown-ups. Three-digit sums, 15 percent of an amount, dividing by a two-digit number, multiplying by 11 and multiplying two numbers in the teens, all without a calculator.

  1. What is 129 + 399?

    • 628
    • 538
    • 518
    • 528

    528. Hundreds, tens, then ones: 100 + 300 = 400, 20 + 90 = 110, 9 + 9 = 18. Altogether: 528.

  2. What is 15% of 120?

    • 9
    • 18
    • 36
    • 15

    18. 10% of 120 is 12 and 5% is half that, 6. Together: 18.

  3. What is 144 ÷ 18?

    • 8
    • 9
    • 18
    • 7

    8. Think backwards: 8 × 18 = 144, so 144 ÷ 18 = 8.

  4. What is 27 × 11?

    • 307
    • 270
    • 297
    • 287

    297. 27 × 11 is 27 × 10 plus 27 × 1: 270 + 27 = 297.

  5. What is 18 × 15?

    • 270
    • 33
    • 285
    • 252

    270. 18 × 15 is 18 × 10 plus 18 × 5: 180 + 90 = 270.

  6. What is 119 ÷ 17?

    • 7
    • 6
    • 17
    • 8

    7. Think backwards: 7 × 17 = 119, so 119 ÷ 17 = 7.

  7. Put these in order, smallest first: 0.7, 0.85, 3/4, 3/5.

    3/5 → 0.7 → 3/4 → 0.85. As decimals: 3/5 = 0.6, 3/4 = 0.75.

  8. What is 16 × 13?

    208. 16 × 13 is 16 × 10 plus 16 × 3: 160 + 48 = 208.
