Flashcards for Mental Math (MMWC)

After understanding the theory, improvement in mental maths comes from specific focused practice. This tool is designed to help you commit to memory some useful mathematical facts.

How to Use this Tool:

  • Ideally use a desktop browser to make input easier.
  • Select the group of flashcards to study from the drop-down menu. Beginners should start with the basic level.
  • Type the answer as fast as possible when the question appears, and hit [Enter] or the “Go!” button.
  • The tool will check your answer and reveal your time.
  • Hit [Enter] or “Go!” again to move to the next question.
  • The tool will keep asking questions until the total time for all questions is over 30 seconds. Then it will display some statistics.



Further Notes

  • You can see improvement in just 5 minutes per day of focused practice.
  • The “study recommendations” are your incorrect answers and your slowest answers. Make a note of any of these that you need to study and commit to memory. Ignore any that were simply typos.
  • Keep a track of your performance—just like an athlete would—to see improvements and plateaus. The “correct answers” statistic is the key metric to track.
  • This tool was developed by Daniel Timms for students improving their Mental Math ability.
