A short daily brain workout: you get a handful of numbers and a target. Combine some or all of them with adding, taking away, multiplying and dividing, using each number at most once, to hit the target exactly. Everyone gets the same puzzle each day, there are three levels, and practice puzzles are unlimited. Every puzzle is checked to have at least one answer.
loading toolHow to solve the maths puzzle
- Pick a level and open today’s puzzle (or a practice one).
- Tap the numbers and signs, or type a sum such as (7 + 3) × 5.
- The live result shows what your sum makes so far.
- Hit the target to solve it; Show a solution reveals one answer.
Good to know
- Work backwards: is the target close to a multiple of one of your numbers?
- Great for classrooms: put today’s puzzle on the board as a warm-up.
Questions
Do I have to use every number?
No. Use as many or as few as you need, but each number on the screen only once (if a number is shown twice, you can use it twice).
Can I use brackets?
Yes. Type them or tap ( and ). The tool follows normal maths order: brackets first, then × and ÷, then + and −.
Are fractions allowed along the way?
Yes. As long as the final answer is exactly the target, any order of working is fine. The shown solution always uses whole numbers.
