I Built a Simple Math Game for My Kid, Thought I’d Share!

Hi everyone,

My kid is just getting the hang of basic arithmetic, and I wanted to find a fun way for them to practice that wasn’t just boring flashcards.

I looked around for some apps and games, but found most of them were cluttered with ads, complex menus, or distracting animations. I really just wanted something super simple that focused on the math.

So, I decided to build one myself. Here’s what I came up with:

The idea is basically a simplified “24 Game.” It gives you a few numbers and a target, and you have to use addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to hit the target number.

I intentionally kept the design as clean and minimal as possible to help with focus. It’s just a little logic puzzle to get them thinking about how numbers work together, and my kid has been having a blast with it.

Since it was useful in our house, I figured it might be helpful for other parents, tutors, or teachers in this community too.

I would love to get your feedback! Do you think this is a useful format for learning? Is there any simple feature you think could make it better? All thoughts and suggestions are welcome.

Thanks!
