Math Gates

About Math Gates

Wrong answer, game over. Math Gates turns quick arithmetic into a running challenge where you have only a short time to work out the answer and pick the right gate. A sum sits along the lower edge of the display, and the gates ahead each carry a possible result.

You slide left and right with a swipe, either by moving the mouse or by dragging a finger, and run through the gate you believe is right. Picking a wrong one ends the run, so a calm head helps more than fast reflexes. It is a handy brain warm-up for kids and adults alike, and it runs straight in the browser on phones, tablets and computers.

Practise easy sums for a minute to build speed before trusting your reflexes.
Make a gentle swipe rather than a long one so you do not overshoot into the wrong gate.
