Train your mental arithmetic ability with MindCalc! This is NOT your standard "what is 7 * 13?" type of game but here the result is already known and an arithmetic operator is given. Now you need to pick two numbers out of 9 to make this equation happen. The faster you solve your equation, the more points you gain. But if you make a mistake you need to start all over - so be careful! For an extra kick choose the highest difficulty where your score will be reset to zero in case you run out of time. You can also compete against another person to see who has stronger mental arithmetic skills!

Mental arithmetic that feels like a game. An exercise sits on a chip in the middle — 7 + 5, 9 × 8 + 4, √144. Drag it onto the right answer on the board before the clock runs out. Land it and your combo grows, taking the multiplier up to ×3. Miss and you only lose the combo: nothing here breaks. HOW IT PLAYS • 14 seconds per exercise, shown by the ring around the chip: green, then amber, then red • Answer early and score more — the bonus follows those exact colours • Three correct answers in a row lift the multiplier one step • Eight exercises per chapter, up to three stars — fewer misses, more stars • No exercise repeats inside a run TWELVE CHAPTERS 1. Adding to 20 2. Adding to 50 3. Missing addends 4. Subtraction 5. Missing subtrahends 6. Times tables 7. Division 8. Square numbers 9. Square roots 10. Big numbers 11. Order of operations 12. Everything mixed FOR PARENTS • No ads, no purchases, no accounts, no sign-up • No cross-app tracking, no advertising ID — only anonymous statistics and crash reports, so we can find bugs • Works fully offline — the app needs no internet and asks for no permissions • Progress stays on the device and never leaves it Made for primary and lower secondary school, for anyone getting their mental arithmetic back up to speed — and everyone in between.
