🧮 Maths Sprint
Race the clock! Quick-fire mental maths from Kindergarten to Year 6 — 10 questions a level.
What Maths Sprint is
Maths Sprint is a mental maths game from Kindergarten to Year 6. A question appears, you pick from four answers, and the next one is already coming. It is built for speed of recall rather than working things out on paper. Each round lasts 90 seconds in Years 2–6, 120 seconds in Year 1 and 180 seconds in Kindergarten.
Mental maths is what frees a child up in a longer problem. If 7 × 8 has to be worked out, there is less attention left for the question that needed it.
How it is put together
- A separate ladder for each year. 7 tracks, one for each year from Kindergarten to Year 6, so a Year 3 child is not being asked Year 6 questions.
- 100 levels in each of Years 2–6, 20 in Year 1 and 10 in Kindergarten, 10 questions each. That is 5,300 questions in all, and they get harder as the ladder goes up.
- Kindergarten and Year 1 are read aloud. The voice reads every question and its answers, and Kindergarten counts pictures — apples, frogs, kangaroos — rather than reading sums.
- Kindergarten and Year 1 are free with an account. The first 5 levels of every year need no account at all; every Kindergarten and Year 1 level is free to a signed-in parent. Levels 6 and up in Years 2–6 come with a subscription.
- A weekly leaderboard. Your best score on each level counts, and the board starts fresh every Monday, so a good week is always within reach.

What year is it for? Kindergarten to Year 6. You pick the year, and the questions are pitched to it.
How long does a game take? About 90 seconds a round in Years 2–6 (longer in Kindergarten and Year 1), with 10 questions in a level. It is designed for a few minutes at a time rather than a long sitting.
