How this game works

Focused practice, useful feedback

Questions develop from friendly differences to borrowing across place values. The standard mix centres on Tier 3.

Each answer is zero or greater, and the generator avoids repeating the same ordered operand pair.

Try these techniques

Calculate with less friction

83 − 57: 57 → 60 → 80 → 83

Count up

For close numbers, finding the gap can be easier than subtracting.

92 − 38 = 92 − 40 + 2

Subtract, then adjust

Use a round subtrahend and correct the difference.

146 − 23 = 146 − 20 − 3

Split by place value

Separate tens and ones into reliable steps.
