Your kid will answer 7 × 8 instantly.
No fingers. No calculator. No guessing.
Free on iPhone and iPad.
You've watched it happen. Your kid understands multiplication — they can explain what it means. But when they need to actually answer, they freeze. Count on fingers. Stare at the ceiling.
The problem isn't understanding. It's speed. And speed only comes from practice that doesn't feel like punishment.
Flashcards feel like homework. A game on your phone feels like a reward. PacMath uses that difference to get kids the reps they'd normally resist.

How it works
Two minutes. Out loud. Every day.
A math problem appears on screen — addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division, scaling with your kid's level. They solve it in their head and say the answer out loud. No tapping, no typing, no multiple choice. Get 10 right and Chompy, a hungry little character, stays fed for the day.
There's a reason it's voice-based. Tapping a button is recognition — your brain picks the familiar answer. Saying it out loud is recall — your brain has to produce the answer from scratch. That's the difference between “sort of knowing” and “actually knowing.”
Why I built it
My daughter could explain multiplication. She just couldn't do it fast.
She wanted nothing to do with flashcards. But if I handed her my phone and said, “I got this game for you,” she was in immediately. Two minutes in the car on the way to school, and she went from finger-counting to instant answers in two weeks.
PacMath is free, runs entirely on your phone or iPad, and collects zero data. No accounts, no ads, no tracking. I built it as a dad, not a company.
