Simple Math drops you into a arcade challenge you can start in a couple of seconds. Think puzzle and math — that is the shape of it. Everything runs client-side, so it starts fast even on a modest connection.
About Simple Math
Develop logical thinking by solving the simplest arithmetic puzzles. Trains: verbal logic; elementary counting operations; switching and attention distribution
How to play Simple Math
There is very little to learn before your first run. The full control mapping is in the table below and takes a moment to skim. The game is wide rather than tall — fullscreen is worth it on a monitor, and on a phone the picture is much better sideways. The second run is always better than the first — that is the whole learning curve.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Mouse | Select and drag pieces |
| Left click | Confirm a move |
On mobile: Tap and swipe on screen. Turn your phone sideways — this game is designed for landscape and fills a horizontal screen.
Why it is worth playing
What makes Simple Math stick is that failure is informative. You can usually name the mistake, and that is what makes another attempt tempting. It is not trying to be anything larger, and it is better for it.
