How to play Number Ladder

Each rung gives one calculation with four answers. Pick the right one before the timer runs out to climb higher. Every question is generated fresh, so no two games repeat.

Rules

  • Choose one of four answers. Each correct answer earns one point.
  • 10 questions per game, with 20 seconds per question.
  • When time runs out, the answer is revealed. Read the explanation, then continue.
  • Your maximum score is 10. There is no penalty for a wrong answer.

Worked demonstrations do not save scores. Full games keep the usual plan access and score-saving rules. Practice only, not a graded assessment or exam-board endorsement.
