Secondary maths

Secondary maths on this page covers core skills that students use from age 11 through to 18. They practise the order of operations, simplify expressions and solve linear equations, then move on to Pythagoras' theorem, angle facts and percentages. Students also work with prime, square and cube numbers. These topics appear again and again in later study, so fluency matters. Each game targets one skill, giving short rounds of questions that reveal quickly whether a method is secure. The format suits both revision of older topics and a first check on something newly taught. Short practice like this suits students at any stage.

A teacher might use a simplifying expressions round as a starter, a Pythagoras quiz as end of topic revision, or an angle facts game as homework to consolidate a lesson. It is also useful for cover lessons when no specialist is present. Corporate trainers can draw on the same skills for a numeracy refresher before finance or data training, using a percentages game as a warm-up, or a short order of operations quiz in a team session to rebuild confidence with calculations. Everyone joins in a browser, so there is nothing to install first. Each game takes only a few minutes of lesson time.

Multiple-choice quizzes are well matched to solving linear equations, simplifying expressions, the order of operations and Pythagoras' theorem, where students pick the right result from plausible answers. True or false is a quick way to test angle facts and common misconceptions. Fill in the blanks suits percentages, as learners supply the missing value. Sort into categories gives a clear view of prime, square and cube numbers, since each number has to be placed correctly. Players can try a game with Play now and no sign-up, and a host can run it live for a group. Each format keeps attention on one skill at a time.
