Stickman Mental Math

Stickman Mental Math turns arithmetic drill into a survival game. Sums flash up and you pick the answer in your head, one after another, with a stickman standing in for your score: answer correctly and he holds together, slip up and he loses a limb. That small stake changes how the practice feels, because the pressure to be quick fights the need to be right. Five or ten minutes a day is enough to sharpen the mental maths it drills.

This title is best suited to quick mental arithmetic practice in short bursts.

1. Read the sum shown on screen
2. Work it out mentally rather than counting on screen
3. Tap the answer you are confident in
4. Keep the run going, because each mistake damages the stickman

• Tap / left mouse button: Choose an answer from the options

Objectives

• Answer as many sums correctly as you can
• Keep the stickman intact for a long run
• Improve your speed on the basic operations

The run ends or fails when

• Enough wrong answers strip the stickman and end the run

• Timed mental arithmetic prompts
• Multiple-choice answering
• A damage meter driven by mistakes

• Round to the nearest ten and adjust, rather than adding digit by digit
• Slow down for two moves after a mistake to steady the run
• Practise in short sessions, since accuracy drops faster than speed does
