Select a number, an operator, then another number. Your result becomes the next working number.
How to play
Combine the six number tiles to hit the glowing target exactly.
1
Choose a numberTap any available number tile to make it your starting value.
2
Choose an operationPick +, −, ×, or ÷, then choose a second tile. Those two numbers merge into the result.

Keep combiningThe result becomes a new tile you can use in later calculations. Each original tile can only be used once in a route.
4
Hit the target exactlyAs soon as one of your calculated tiles equals the target, the round is solved and your streak increases.

Mental Math Meets Strategy
One target.
Six numbers.
How will you get there?
Number Target is a fast browser-based math game
where every round gives you a target and a fresh set of numbers.
Combine the available numbers using
addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division
to land exactly on the target. There is no single way to think —
experiment, calculate, undo, and discover your own route to the answer.

How a round works
01
Study the target
Start with the target number and look over the number tiles
available for the round.
02
Build calculations
Select two numbers and combine them with +, −, ×, or ÷.
The result becomes a new number you can continue using.
03
Hit it exactly
Keep combining results until one of your remaining tiles
matches the target exactly.
Choose Your Challenge
Four difficulty levels.
Four very different puzzles.
Difficulty changes more than the label. Each level expands the
target range and introduces larger values and more demanding
calculation routes.
Warm Up
Easy
10–50
A friendly starting range for quick arithmetic,
simple combinations, and learning how Number Target works.
Balanced
Medium
50–150
Bigger targets encourage multi-step thinking and smarter
combinations without becoming overwhelming.
Challenge
Hard
150–500
Larger numbers and longer routes reward planning ahead
instead of simply trying the first calculation you see.
Mastery
Expert
500–999
High-value targets create deeper arithmetic puzzles for
players who want demanding mental-math challenges.
More Than Calculation
Math practice that actually feels like a game.
Number Target turns ordinary arithmetic into a small strategy
puzzle where every operation changes what is possible next.
Train the part of your brain that asks,
“What can I make from this?”
Number Target encourages mental arithmetic, number sense,
pattern recognition, flexible thinking, and step-by-step
problem solving. Instead of answering a fixed equation,
you build the equation yourself.
Mental Math Practice
Work naturally with addition, subtraction,
multiplication, and division while searching for useful
combinations.
Problem Solving
A promising first move may create a dead end later.
Think ahead, test ideas, and change your approach.
Experiment Freely
Undo lets you explore a route without committing to it.
Try something unusual and see where the numbers lead.
Play Anywhere
The responsive Number Target interface works directly in
your browser across phones, tablets, laptops, and desktops.
Example Puzzle
There may be more than one road to the target.
Imagine your target is 75 and your available
numbers include 8, 7, 3, 10, 5, and 2. One possible idea is to
create 15 and multiply it by 5. Other rounds may invite
completely different approaches.

Think Before You Tap
Three simple Number Target strategies
You do not need to calculate every possibility. A few useful
habits can make difficult targets much easier to approach.
Strategy 01
Work backward from the target
Ask what numbers could produce the target. For 120,
possibilities such as 12 × 10 or 60 × 2 can give you
smaller intermediate goals.
Strategy 02
Look for useful building blocks
Values such as 10, 20, 25, 50, or convenient multiples
can make larger targets much easier to construct.
Strategy 03
Save flexible numbers
Small values can be surprisingly useful near the end of a
puzzle. Before consuming every easy number, consider what
you may need for the final adjustment.

What is a Number Target game?
A Number Target game is an arithmetic puzzle where you
combine a set of available numbers with mathematical
operations to reach a specified target number exactly.
Which math operations can I use?
This game lets you combine number tiles using addition,
subtraction, multiplication, and division. Each completed
calculation creates a result that can be used again.
What difficulty levels are available?
Number Target includes Easy targets from 10–50, Medium
from 50–150, Hard from 150–500, and Expert challenges
from 500–999.
Do I have to reach the target exactly?
Yes. The goal is to create a number that matches the
displayed target exactly rather than simply getting close.
Can I undo a calculation?
Yes. Use Undo to reverse your latest move, or Clear to
return the current puzzle to its original set of numbers
and try another strategy.
Is Number Target useful for math practice?
It provides repeated practice with arithmetic, number
relationships, calculation planning, and problem solving
in a puzzle format rather than a traditional worksheet.
Can I play Number Target on my phone?
Yes. The game is designed with responsive controls and
layouts for mobile phones, tablets, laptops, and desktop
browsers.
