Math Rally turns times tables practice into a racing game kids actually want to play. Drive down the track and steer into the lane with the correct answer to keep racing. Get it right and you speed up, get it wrong and you slow down. The faster and more accurate you are, the further you go. HOW TO PLAY - Answer multiplication questions by steering your car into the correct lane - Build a streak of correct answers to earn a coin multiplier - Keep racing as long as you can, the run ends after three mistakes - Beat your own best distance in each mode TWO MODES FOR EVERY LEVEL - First Gear: tables 1 to 5, perfect for beginners - Top Gear: tables 1 to 10, for kids ready for a challenge PRACTICE MODE Choose exactly which times tables to drill, with no distance, no coins, and no pressure, just focused practice. It can also show which facts a child gets wrong most often, so a parent can help target the right tables, or let the app pick the weak spots automatically. A GARAGE FULL OF CARS Earn coins by racing well, then spend them in the Garage on new cars and paint colors. Every car and color is earned by getting the math right, never bought with real money. MADE FOR KIDS - No accounts, sign-ups, or personal information collected - No chat or way to contact other players - Cars, coins, and colors are earned by playing, never bought with real money - Practice Mode is the only paid feature, a one-time purchase, no subscription - Available in 12 languages: English, Turkish, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, Italian, Polish, Dutch, Japanese, Korean and Arabic Math Rally is built for children learning their times tables, and for the parents who want screen time to double as practice.
