Levels and difficulty
Each run is 35 seconds with one rule: even numbers, odd numbers, multiples of 3, multiples of 5 or numbers over 50. The combo multiplier climbs to × 5 as your child keeps slicing correctly, so the challenge is accuracy at speed.
Pip moves your child up when they are ready and eases off when they struggle. Each run is short and focused, so it fits before school or homework.

Tips for parents and teachers
- Remind your child that only the last digit decides odd or even, even in a big number like 9,374.
- For multiples of 3, add the digits: 81 gives 9, which is in the 3 times table.
- Use one run as a 35-second warm-up before homework.
