About Maths Quick-Fire

Maths Quick-Fire is a fast-paced mental-arithmetic challenge: you have 60 seconds to solve as many sums as you can. Questions cover addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and they keep coming until the timer runs out — so the aim is to answer quickly and accurately.

How to play

• Press start and a sum appears immediately.
• Type or select the answer to move straight on to the next one.
• Solve as many as possible before the 60 seconds are up.
• Try to beat your previous best each time.

Tips to score higher

• Learn your times tables cold — instant recall saves precious seconds.
• Round and adjust for awkward additions (e.g. 47 + 38 → 50 + 38 − 3).
• Don’t freeze on a hard one — keep your rhythm and momentum.
