Scrolling that makes you smarter. MathMe is a mental math trainer built like a feed. One question per screen: tap the answer, swipe to the next. The minutes that would have gone to another feed go to a skill you keep for life. NEW: A MENTAL MATH COURSE 39 topics in 7 chapters — Numeration, Whole Numbers, Divisibility, Common Fractions, Decimals, Ratios and Proportions, Percentages — with 1,334 practice questions. Each topic teaches one technique. ×5 is ×10 ÷ 2. ×25 is ×100 ÷ 4. You see how the trick works, why it is worth knowing and where people usually slip — then practice it right away in a feed you scroll through. The starter topics are free. The full course is part of MathMe Pro. SWIPE: YOUR FEED, BUT IT’S MATH A timer on every question, a swipe to get the next one. Difficulty is matched to your skill level. Two hints help when it gets hard: 50/50 removes two wrong options, and the Shield protects you from your next wrong answer. DUEL: 1 ON 1 IN REAL TIME In Duel you create a room and send the code to a friend, join a room by code, or let the app find an opponent. 10 rounds, one winner. Want to warm up first? Train against a bot — it does not affect your rating. FOUR MORE WAYS TO TRAIN • Practice — pick the operations (+ − × ÷) and the difficulty: Easy, Medium, Hard, Expert, or Random. No pressure. • Arcade — 3 lives, a combo multiplier for consecutive correct answers, and difficulty that rises every 5 correct answers. • Survival — your health bar keeps draining; 5 types of power-ups help you last longer. • Time Attack — score as much as you can before the clock runs out. Fast answers multiply your points. A HABIT THAT STICKS • Daily tasks with coin and XP rewards • A streak that forgives one missed day a week • 100 levels and achievements • Leaderboards for Swipe, Arcade, Time Attack and Survival: week, month, all time — plus an all-time table for Duel • Statistics: accuracy, speed, and how they change over time • A result card you can share after a session MADE FOR REAL LIFE • Train offline — duels and leaderboards need a connection • Start without an account: Practice and Swipe work right away.
