Math Games

About math games

Mental arithmetic that does not feel like homework. Most wrap a timer and a rising difficulty curve around simple operations, which turns out to be a genuinely effective way to get fast at the things school teaches slowly.

The tag serves two very different audiences — children practising times tables, and adults who want a two-minute warm-up — and both are covered. The kids category filters to the gentler end. Related: word, memory and sudoku.

Playnix lists 126 math games, ordered best-first rather than alphabetically. Most sit in the puzzle and kids categories. The three ranked highest right now are Super Chains, 2048 X2 Merge Blocks and Sweet Monsters. Every one of them loads straight into the page — no download, no plugin, no account.
