Answer as many number sense questions as you can before the game timer runs out. Each question has its own countdown — answer before it expires or you'll lose your streak!
Estimation — approximate products like "47 × 23 ≈ ?" Rounding — round numbers to the nearest 10, 100, or 1000. Comparison — which is larger? Compare fractions, decimals, and products. Percentage — quick calculations like "25% of 80". Place Value — identify digits in ones, tens, hundreds, or thousands place. Higher difficulties unlock Powers, Order of Operations, Chain Calculations, Fraction Arithmetic, and Scientific Notation.
Each correct answer earns 10 points × your streak multiplier (up to 5×). Consecutive correct answers build your streak. A wrong answer or timeout resets your streak to 1×. Speed matters — higher difficulties give less time per question but more questions total.
