KIDS maths - website

CarrotSticks is an online multiplayer game that improves math skills and understanding for 1st - 5th graders as they practice and compete with other students around the world!

Kids Love it!

Whether your child prefers competing with others or practicing on their own, they'll love designing their own characters and earning points by solving problems. CarrotSticks takes the friction out of motivating your child to go the extra mile with math by making it social and fun!

Rigorous Practice

Playing CarrotSticks means solving math problems, step by step, in a uniform way. Through repeated practice, CarrotSticks kids build valuable speed and "muscle memory," both of which are key to success in mathematics.

Social AND Safe

CarrotSticks makes math fun by making it social, but because CarrotSticks doesn't allow full names or "free chat," you can rest assured that your child is safe online while playing CarrotSticks.

Conceptual Understanding

CarrotSticks kids can practice on their own or compete with their peers, solving elementary math problems. Each problem category is divided into 25 levels designed by doctoral students at the Stanford School of Education to emphasize specific skills and concepts.

The Student is in Control

CarrotSticks kids can choose to practice on their own, or they can go head-to-head with their peers in realtime matches. In both cases, students choose the problem difficulty level right for them, building skills and confidence at their own pace.
