Math Blast
Arcade arithmetic that speeds up as you do
About Math Blast
Answer as many facts as you can before the fuse burns down. The game watches which facts slow you down and quietly feeds you more of those.
Ankhdase tracks 8 distinct skills in Math Blast, including Adding within 10, Adding within 20, Subtracting within 10 and Subtracting within 20. Because mastery is estimated per skill rather than per game, the questions shift toward whatever a student is getting wrong — and away from what they have already proved they know.
There are 5 modes to choose from: Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division and Mixed.
How to play
- Tap the right answer before the timer runs out.
- A streak of correct answers is worth bonus points.
- The questions get harder when you are getting them right quickly, and easier if you are struggling.
- You can also press the number keys 1-4 to answer.
