Math Blitz

About Math Blitz

Math Blitz is a free online mental math quiz set on a classic school chalkboard. You get sixty seconds to answer as many arithmetic questions as you can, choosing the right answer from four options each time. It begins with easy addition and subtraction using small numbers, and as your score climbs the questions get tougher. Multiplication appears after a while, the numbers get bigger, and in the final stage division joins the mix.

There is a little pressure built in, which is what makes the game exciting. Every wrong answer takes three seconds off the clock, so guessing wildly is a quick way to run out of time. On the other hand, answering five questions in a row correctly puts you on a streak and adds bonus points to each answer after that. The best players find a rhythm where they move fast without getting careless.

How to Play Math Blitz

• Press “Start game” to begin the 60-second countdown.
• Solve the sum shown on the chalkboard.
• Tap the correct answer from the four choices.
• Correct answers earn 10 points, and a streak of five or more earns 5 bonus points each.
• A wrong answer costs 3 seconds, so think before you tap.

Tips for Faster Mental Math

For addition, round one number to the nearest ten and then adjust. To work out 38 plus 25, add 40 and 25 to get 65, then take away 2 to reach 63. Subtraction works the same way in reverse. These small shortcuts feel slow at first, but with practice they become much quicker than counting in your head.

When multiplication starts showing up, knowing your times tables up to twelve makes a huge difference, and division questions in Math Blitz are simply times tables run backwards. You can also use the answer choices to your advantage. If a sum ends in an odd number, an even answer cannot be right, and checking the last digit alone often rules out two or three options in an instant.
