Frequently Asked Questions
First, pick the arithmetic operations you want to practice - addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, squares, and/ or percentages. Then set the number ranges (from single-digit all the way to four-digit numbers) and how many math questions you want. Hit "Play" and you'll be presented with mental math problems one at a time. See how quickly you can solve them! It's great for sharpening your mental math skills (plus it prepares you for situations where quick calculations are necessary, such as case interviews or quant assessments). The key is to practice regularly and push yourself!
Finally, the answer is yes! It wasn’t always that way, but it was one of our top requests. So for you, we figured it out. Now you can practice your mental arithmetic whenever you want - waiting in line, on the bus, wherever. Go crazy! Next step for us might be to build an iOS and Android app. Is that something you’d like?
By forcing you to think fast and calculate quickly, this trains your brain to process numerical information efficiently. That skill transfers to all kinds of problem-solving, from dissecting a salary negotiation to managing your personal finances. Keep practicing these simple math problems, and you'll develop mental shortcuts that will serve you well in many situations.
If you create an account and take our course, you’ll be able to track your best times. As for competing... Not yet, but we're considering it (we’re thinking about adding leaderboards), but not many people seem to care about that. So far our learners are focused on competing against themselves. Even trying to beat your own mental calculation time is hard! 😅
Maybe. Right now we're focused on the fundamental arithmetic operations (squares and percentages is a recent addition!). Master these basic operations first - they're the building blocks for all mental math skills (and suitable for all grade levels... You’d be surprised at how many people don’t know their multiplication tables). People have suggested fractions, decimals, and more integers. We want to provide a great math trainer for all learners, without making it too “feature-rich” and complex. So if you have any suggestions let us know!
