Math practice. Quick-fire drills, instant feedback.

How to use Math Practice

Math Practice is a quick arithmetic drill. You choose the operations and number ranges, then answer questions one at a time against a question count or a clock, with instant feedback after each answer. It suits times tables practice for children, mental math warm ups for adults and test preparation.

Step by step

1. 1
   Choose your operations

   Tick any mix of Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division. The first three are on by default. At least one must be ticked or the round will not start.

2. 2
   Set the number ranges

   Addition and Subtraction use numbers from 1 to 100 by default, and each number in the question is picked from that range. Multiplication uses tables 2 to 12, times 1 to 12. Division divides by 2 to 12. Tick allow negative answers only if subtraction results below zero are wanted.

3. 3
   Pick a round

   Choose 10 questions, 20 or 50 for a counted round, or 60s timed or 120s timed to answer as many as you can before the clock runs out. The line beside the buttons shows your best score for the current setup, or No best yet for this setup.

4. 4
   Answer the questions

   Press Start practising. Type each answer and press Enter or Check. A correct answer moves on after a short pause; a wrong one shows the right answer first. Press Skip to move on without answering, which counts as a miss. Press Settings to stop the round and go back.

5. 5
   Review the round

   When the round ends you see Score, Accuracy and Avg per question, then a Worth another look list of every miss with your answer. Press Play again to repeat the same setup, Change settings to adjust it, or Copy results and Download results to keep a plain text copy.

Reading the result

• Score is correct answers out of questions answered or skipped. In a 10 question round where you miss two, it reads 8/10 and Accuracy reads 80%.
• In a timed round the total is however many questions you answered or skipped before time ran out. A question still on screen at zero is not counted.
• Avg per question is the average time in seconds from a question appearing to your answer, skips included.
• During a round, the star chip counts correct answers and the flame chip counts your current streak, which resets to 0 on any miss or skip.
• A personal best is kept for each mix of operations and round type. A higher score wins; on a tie, higher accuracy wins, then the faster average.

Tips and common mistakes

• Bests are stored per operation mix and round type, not per number range. If you change the ranges, earlier bests from easier or harder ranges still apply to that slot.
• Division always gives a whole number answer from 1 to 12, so the divide by range sets how large the numbers get.
• For young learners, keep the ranges small, for example numbers 1 to 10 and tables 2 to 5, and leave allow negative answers off.
• A skip scores exactly like a wrong answer and also breaks the streak, so a quick guess never costs you points compared with skipping.
• If a minimum is larger than its maximum, the tool swaps them for you when the round starts.
