Free math games for kids
Catch the duck with the right answer! Four free Duck Pond games for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, from preschool to 4th grade. No sign-up, no ads.
How the games work
Each game is a carnival Duck Pond. Rubber ducks float by with numbers on them, and your child taps the duck with the answer to the problem on the sign. A fishing hook swings in and reels it out, and the duck flies into the score. Ten problems make a round, with up to three stars for answers that are right on the first try.
Wrong answers are part of learning, so there is no timer and no way to lose: the duck slips back into the water, Toco the Toucan says “So close!”, and after two misses the right duck glows. The easiest levels show every problem as dots, so even preschoolers can count their way to the answer.

Which game should my child play?
Preschool and kindergarten: addition and subtraction within 5 or 10. 1st and 2nd grade: sums and differences to 20, then two-digit numbers. 3rd and 4th grade: the multiplication and division games, one table at a time and then mixed.

Yes. They run in Safari on iPhone and iPad, and in Chrome, Edge or Firefox on phones, tablets, Chromebooks and computers. They can also be played with a keyboard.
