Math Fighter for schools: maths students want to practise

Fun, team play and the feeling of getting better – three things that make students practise maths because they want to, not because they have to.

Turn practice into a fight – play Math Fighter in your browser, on Android or on iOS.

Fun that serves the learning

Every attack in Math Fighter is a maths question. Students who answer correctly and quickly land the hit, so the game rewards exactly the skill the lesson is about: fluent mental arithmetic. There is no separate “quiz part” to get through before the fun starts.

Team play: the whole class at once

In a team battle the class is split into small teams that face each other in parallel arenas, and everyone is on screen at the same time. It does not matter who answers – the team pulls ahead when it answers correctly and fast. Three games share the mechanic:

Tug of war – the rope slides towards the stronger team.
Sumo push – the teams shove each other towards the edge of the ring.
Human tower – each team builds upwards; the first to reach the top wins.

Because the team’s result is what counts, every correct answer helps – not only the fastest student’s. For a bigger finale there are knockout tournaments, with matches played between classmates only.

Why it supports intrinsic motivation

Research on motivation, such as self-determination theory, points to three needs: autonomy, competence and belonging. Math Fighter is built around them:

Autonomy – students choose their fighter, and in free practice the topic they want to train.
Competence – belts in the Dojo show real progress from White Belt onwards, and the AI tutor Sensei explains a topic step by step when a student gets stuck.
Belonging – in a team battle students work with classmates towards a shared result instead of only competing against each other.

The aim is a student who says “one more round” because it feels good to improve – not one who practises for a reward.

How to start in five steps

Create your teacher account on the web and confirm your email. The teacher area opens from the Math Fighter for Schools page.
Set up your school: its name and country, so the topics follow your curriculum.
Create a class and choose its grade. Every activity picks its topics from that grade.
Invite your students with the QR code or link from the class. They join on web, Android or iOS.
Start an activity: a team battle, a knockout tournament or homework, with the operations and number range you choose.

Frequently asked questions

Does a team battle work with a whole class?

Yes. The class is split into teams of one to eight students, and every team plays in its own arena at the same time.

Is it a replacement for maths lessons?

No. It is a way to practise what the class already learned: mental arithmetic, times tables, fractions and more, at the right grade level.

Do students need an account?

No. They join your class with a link or QR code.

Which grades does it suit?

Grades 1 to 6 are the core, with an advanced path for older students.
