The math app kids actually want to play
Tug of Math for iPhone, iPad and Android. Practice times tables and daily math at school, at home, or anywhere in between.
Math practice that
feels like play
Tug of Math turns times tables and daily practice into a game kids ask for. Two teams pull the same rope, and every correct answer drags it a little further toward one side. The fastest and most accurate team wins.
What you can do
Play together
Split the family or the class into two teams. Every correct answer pulls the rope. Loud, fun, and over in a few minutes.
Take on the computer
No opponent nearby? Play head to head against the computer on easy, medium or hard. Great for solo practice.
Play against the clock
Fast games, real practice. See how many answers your kids can get in sixty seconds, then beat the score.
Practice every operation
Times tables, addition, subtraction and division. Set the level per player and per game.
Made for teachers, parents, and kids
For teachers
Use it at the start or the end of a lesson. Turn one tablet into ten minutes of practice that a small group actually wants.
For parents
Ten minutes on the couch, in the car, or at the table. Practice that feels like screen time kids earn, not homework they avoid.
For kids
Simple to pick up. Hard to put down. Every game gets faster as they get better.

Questions about the app
Is the math app free?
Yes. Tug of Math is free to download and free to play. An optional paid plan lifts the monthly game limit, and it unlocks the web version as well.
Which devices does it work on?
iPhone and iPad from the App Store, and Android phones and tablets from Google Play. A tablet flat on the table is the best way to play a two player duel.
What ages is it for?
It suits roughly ages six to twelve. The level is set per player, so an eight year old and an eleven year old can play the same game fairly.
Can we play without the app?
Yes. The same game runs in any browser at tugofmath.app, with no download and no account. The app adds the solo modes and remembers your setup between sessions.
Do we need an account?
No. Open the app and start playing. An account is only needed to carry progress across devices or to manage a subscription.
Ready to play?
