A free online math game for elementary school students to practice basic arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division within a limited time frame.
10 seconds of math is a fun, free online math game developed by Patrick Holtrop designed for elementary school students to practice and build fluency with basic arithmetic operations including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. It can be played individually or competitively with multiple players.
The game presents randomized math problems pulled from a database of over 50,000 questions. Players have 10 seconds to provide as many correct answers as possible. It operates on an honor system - players input their score after each round. The default settings are for addition problems up through 12+12, subtraction up through 20-12, multiplication up through 12x12, and division up through 144÷12, but teachers can customize the difficulty levels as needed for their classroom.
The competitive format, short duration timed rounds, and positive reinforcement for correct answers makes practicing math facts enjoyable. 10 seconds of math is a supplemental resource for teachers to help identify students struggling with math fluency and encourage sufficient practice in an engaging way to build automaticity. It promotes math fact fluency through repetition in context rather than repetitive drill worksheets. And by allowing teachers to customize problem types and difficulty levels, it can provide appropriately challenging content to meet each student at their skill level.
