How to use
Playing MathSprint
90 seconds on the clock, as many questions as you can answer. Pick an operation, build a streak, and chase the leaderboard. Here's everything you need to know.
Quick start
Pick a mode (say, Addition) → enter your name → hit Start Game → tap the right answer, again and again, until the buzzer.
Step by step
-
Choose a game mode
The home screen offers four: Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, and Division. Each is its own separate challenge with its own leaderboard — so you can be the addition champion even if times tables aren't your thing.
-
Read the rules, enter your name
The instructions screen recaps how the round works and asks for your name — that's what appears on the leaderboard if you post a score. Then hit Start Game. The 90-second clock starts immediately.
-
Answer fast — but answer once
Each question (like
12 + 4) shows three answer choices. Tap the right one and your score ticks up. Here's the catch: you get one attempt per question. A wrong tap still moves you to the next question — there's no second chance, so careless speed costs points. -
Use the keyboard
On a computer, press 1, 2, or 3 to pick the first, second, or third answer. It's meaningfully faster than the mouse — most top scores are keyboard runs.
-
Watch your streak
The header tracks seconds left, score, question number, and your streak — consecutive correct answers. Streaks are the real skill meter: anyone can go fast, but a long streak means you're fast and accurate. Your best streak shows on the results screen.
-
See your results and the leaderboard
When time's up you get the full summary — score, questions answered, best streak — and your score posts to that mode's shared leaderboard. Check the Leaderboard tab anytime to see the top scores in each of the four modes.
Getting a high score
Every correct answer is one point, so the math is simple: answer more, miss less. The three answer choices are deliberately close together (off-by-a-little traps, not obviously wrong numbers), so the winning rhythm is a half-second of actual checking rather than pure reflex tapping. Play all four modes — division runs are where leaderboards are usually softest.
