Climbers trail · ages 10–12

Free math games for 10-year-olds

Ten-year-olds move from whole numbers to parts of numbers: fractions, decimals and simple percentages. They also multiply and divide larger numbers and start measuring area and perimeter.

The Climbers trail in Number Quest practises the core of these: multiplying and dividing, equivalent and simplified fractions, decimals, percentages of amounts, rectangle area and short word problems. Each question has a hint and a clear written explanation, so a wrong answer becomes a mini lesson instead of a dead end.
