Ages 7–9 — the 9-times finger trick, the 9 table pattern, × 4, × 10 and × 100, and a doubles-and-halves game.
Ages 9–12 — think-of-a-number tricks, the 1089 trick, adding 1 to 100, magic patterns and digit-sum magic.
Ages 11–14 — number patterns, magic squares, day-of-the-week puzzles, age and coin riddles and a final challenge.
Ages 7–14 — tally marks, helper numbers for the 6–9 tables, × 22/33/44, factor chains, two-step division, divisibility by 4 and 8, last-digit checks, numbers below zero, decimal points and the leapfrog sum.
Maths tricks are clever shortcuts and number magic that turn sums into games: the 9-times finger trick, the 1089 magic trick, adding 1 to 100 in seconds, magic squares, calendar puzzles, tally marks, divisibility shortcuts and quick answer checks. This free course is for children aged 7 to 14. Younger children start with finger and table tricks, older children move on to number magic, puzzles and clever counting and checking. Every lesson explains why the trick works, gives a worked example and has unlimited practice with step-by-step help, a level test and a badge.

Three favourites: the 9-times finger trick (fold down a finger and read the answer on your hands), × 4 by doubling twice, and adding 1 to 100 by pairing numbers (50 pairs of 101 = 5050). Each trick in this course has a worked example and practice questions.
हर दिन एक ट्रिक सीखें: पहले उंगलियों से 9 का पहाड़ा, फिर डबल-डबल से × 4, फिर 1089 जैसा जादू और पहेलियाँ। ट्रिक को समझें कि वह क्यों काम करती है, फिर 10 मिनट अभ्यास करें और परिवार को दिखाएँ।
Ages 7 to 14. Children of 7–9 start with Part 1 (finger and table tricks), 9–12 enjoy Part 2 (number magic), and 11–14 take on Part 3 (puzzles, magic squares and riddles). Part 4 (clever counting and checking) runs from tally marks for 7-year-olds up to decimals and numbers below zero for 12–14. Older children can start anywhere.
Vedic Maths is a full system of fast calculation methods. This course is lighter and more playful: number magic, patterns, puzzles and riddles that make children curious about maths. Many children do this course first and Vedic Maths later.
When you reverse a 3-digit number and subtract, the answer is always 99 times the difference between the first and last digits — so it is one of 198, 297 … 891. Each of these plus its reverse is 1089.
Yes. Puzzles build logical thinking, patience and number sense, and they appear in Olympiad and reasoning tests. Most importantly they make maths fun, so children practise more.
Sign in and pass the 20-question test of a level (16 or more right) to earn its badge. Pass every level in a part — Part 1 is levels 1–5, Part 2 is 6–10, Part 3 is 11–15, Part 4 is 16–25 — and you get that part’s certificate, with a code anyone can check.
Use the last-digit check (lesson 22): multiply or add only the last digits — in 47 × 36, 7 × 6 = 42, so the answer must end in 2. Then round to check the size: 47 × 36 is about 50 × 36 = 1800, so 1692 makes sense. Two quick checks catch most mistakes.
Yes. All 25 lessons, practice, tests, worksheets, badges and certificates are free. Classes with a TalentJR teacher (online or at home) are paid — request a call back for fees.
