What your child learns

  • Quick recall of addition and subtraction facts within 5, then 10, then 20
  • Finding the missing number in sums like 3 + ? = 5
  • Solving with confidence, not in a hurry: there is no countdown
  • Hearing the sums read aloud in English or Vietnamese

How to play

  1. Press "Play now". Listen to the sum, then tap the right number button. On a computer you can type the number.
  2. Each right answer moves your car one step. A wrong button gets locked so your child can try again; after two misses the right one glows as a hint.
  3. A little cloud races along in the sky. It never gets far ahead: it drifts on a little, waits for the car, and only reaches the finish after the car does.
  4. A race has 8 or 10 sums. Finish with at most one mistake to earn a star.

For parents

  • The game builds speed without pressure: no timer, no penalties, and a slow race still ends at the finish line with praise.
  • Addition and subtraction levels grow separately: a run of right answers brings bigger numbers, and a few misses make it easier again.
  • The wrong choices are always close to the answer (1 to 3 away), so guessing by size does not work.
  • If your child still counts on fingers, that is fine. Familiar facts like 5 + 5 and 10 − 1 will soon come from memory.
