Pond Prix

Race round the pond. The right answer gives you a boost!

🤔 How to play

  1. Pick your racer: Clover the Bunny, Pip the Frog, Plum the Baby Dino or Mango the Kitten.
  2. Pick a race: a warm-up with no sums, counting fish, adding, adding and taking away to 20, or times tables.
  3. 3, 2, 1, Go! Your kart drives by itself. You only change lanes.
  4. When a question pops up, steer into the lane with the right answer. Through the right arch: a boost! The wrong one: a splash of mud.
  5. Three laps, nine questions. Orange arrow pads give you a little boost; brown mud slows you down.

To change lane: tap the left or right side of the race, tap an answer at the bottom, or press ← and →. Space honks. The other racers make mistakes too, so every race is close. Nothing is saved.

What it practises

Quick recall of number facts while something exciting is happening: counting to 10, adding to 10, adding and taking away to 20, and the 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10 times tables. Every answer is shown right after each gate, so a splash still teaches the sum.
