How to play Bubble Pop Math

  1. Read the target number above the pond, for example 24.
  2. Bubbles rise carrying expressions such as 6 × 4, 12 + 12 or 30 − 6. Pop the ones that equal the target.
  3. Each wrong pop costs 3 seconds. After six right pops the target changes and the game gets a little faster.
  4. When time runs out your score is compared with your saved best.

Controls

Tap or click a bubble. Bubbles are also buttons you can reach with Tab and Enter.

Math skills and grades

Skills: Flexible number sense: seeing that 6 × 4, 12 + 12 and 30 − 6 are all 24.

Best for: Grades 3 to 7 (ages 8 to 13).

Tips for parents and teachers

  • Seeing one number written many ways is the root of algebra, so this is more than a speed game.
  • Ask your child to say the expression and its value aloud when they pop.
  • Targets are small (6 to 20) at first and grow up to 100 at higher levels.

Bubble Pop Math questions

Which operations appear?

Addition, subtraction and multiplication facts. A correct bubble always equals the target exactly.

Can wrong bubbles be close to the target?

Yes, wrong bubbles are within about 6 of the target so that guessing does not work.
