About Mental Calculation

Mental Calculation is an advanced brain training game designed to improve your ability to perform complex calculations without pen and paper. Each problem requires multiple steps, challenging your working memory and arithmetic skills.

The game covers various calculation types: chain operations (adding or subtracting multiple numbers), multi-step multiplication, mixed operations requiring PEMDAS knowledge, percentage calculations, and computing squares and powers.

After each answer, you'll see the step-by-step solution, helping you learn efficient mental math strategies. Regular practice will dramatically improve your calculation speed and accuracy!

Tips & Strategies

  • •Break complex problems into smaller, manageable steps
  • •For percentages: 10%=÷10, 5%=half of 10%, 25%=÷4
  • •Memorize common squares: 11²=121, 12²=144, 15²=225
  • •For chain addition, look for numbers that make 10 or 100
  • •Always handle multiplication/division before addition/subtraction

Frequently Asked Questions

Mental Calculation challenges you with multi-step math problems designed to strengthen your ability to calculate in your head. Problems include chain operations, percentages, and squares.
Chain addition/subtraction, two-step multiplication, mixed operations (PEMDAS), percentage calculations, and squares/powers. Harder difficulties include more complex problem types.
Work left to right, keeping a running total in your head. For 23 + 45 + 18, think: 23+45=68, then 68+18=86. Break it into manageable steps.
For 25% of 80: 25% = 1/4, so 80÷4=20. For 15% of 200: find 10% (20) + 5% (10) = 30. Use these shortcuts!
Use patterns: 15²=225 (ends in 25, front is 1×2=2). For 13²: (13-3)(13+3)+9 = 10×16+9=169. Practice common squares.
Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction. In '5 + 3 × 4', multiply first: 3×4=12, then add: 5+12=17.
After each answer, we show how to solve it step-by-step. This helps you learn efficient mental calculation strategies even when you get it wrong.
100 base points per correct answer, plus time bonus (4 points per second) and streak bonuses. Longer calculations give more time.
Yes! The game tracks best score, total correct, games played, and best streak. Practice regularly to see improvement!
Absolutely! Mental calculation strengthens working memory, improves focus, and builds math confidence. It's like a workout for your brain.
