Math Rush in a nutshell
Math Rush shows you a sum with an answer, such as 7 × 8 = 54, and you say whether it is true or false before the timer bar runs out. Every right answer adds a point and the sums slowly get harder. Play Relaxed for three lives and plenty of time, or Rush for a quicker test.
- Pick a speed. Choose Relaxed, with three lives and 10 seconds a sum, or Rush, where one slip ends the run and you have 5 seconds.
- Read the sum. Each sum is shown with an answer after the equals sign. Work out whether that answer is right.
- Tap True or False. Tap True if the sum is right and False if it is wrong. On a keyboard, press the left arrow or T for True, and the right arrow or F for False.
- Beat the timer. The bar above the sum shows how long you have left. Answering in time refills it for the next sum.

Math Rush questions
What happens if I get one wrong?
In Relaxed mode you lose one of your three lives, the correct sum is shown, and play carries on. In Rush mode the run ends straight away. Either way your score so far is kept.
Do the sums get harder?
Yes, a little at a time. You start with adding and taking away up to 20. Times tables come in after 5 right answers, dividing after 12, bigger numbers after 20, and sums with two steps after 30. The timer also gets slightly shorter as your score grows, but never shorter than 6 seconds in Relaxed mode or 2.5 seconds in Rush.
Can the answers be negative or fractions?
No. Every number you see is a whole number of 0 or more, and every division sum divides exactly.
How does scoring work?
You get one point for each right answer. Your best score for each speed is saved on your device, and your best streak in the run is shown at the end.
Is Math Rush good for brain training?
Quick mental arithmetic keeps number facts fresh and is a pleasant way to practise times tables. It is a game rather than a medical brain-training programme, so play it for fun.
