Easier Countdown numbers for students

This Countdown game for kids turns the numbers round into a flexible maths activity for an adult to run. You can choose fewer numbers, keep the target small, and limit the operations to addition or addition and subtraction while a student is building confidence.

As children improve, the same page can introduce multiplication, division, larger targets, and more number tiles. The exact-solution option is on by default so generated rounds have a possible answer, which makes the game easier to teach and fairer for younger players.
