Spoken Additions Trainer

Update January 2024: this tool now only includes additions. Subtractions are now on a separate tool with a wider selection of settings!

After understanding the theory, improvement in mental maths comes from specific focused practice. This tool is just a simple way to practise spoken additions.

How to Use this Tool:

  • Ideally use a desktop browser to make input easier.
  • Select the required number of digits from the drop-down menu. Beginners could start with 2 digits.
  • Ensure that your audio volume is sufficient to hear the sound.
  • 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.



Further Notes

  • You can see improvement in just 5 minutes per day of focused practice.
  • Keep a track of your performance—just like an athlete would—to see improvements and plateaus.
  • These tools are currently in beta mode and and available to students working with Daniel Timms. For enquiries about coaching or the other tools, use the contact details here.
