Built a free daily math puzzle pattern recognition game — curious if it'd work as a warm-up next year
I know school's out, so no rush on this — but I built a browser game called Trika and have been wondering if it could be useful for math teachers.
The mechanic: scan a grid of numbers, find three tiles in a row or column that form a valid equation (9−6=3, 4×5=20, etc). There's a daily mode — same puzzle for everyone, takes a minute or two, similar spirit to Wordle but for arithmetic.
Curious what age/grade level this might land best with — would appreciate input from anyone who's taught math, even informally. Also open to any feedback on whether something like this would realistically get used as a warm-up or bell-ringer.
Free, no account, no ads. playtrika.com if anyone wants to poke around. Appreciate any and all feedback!
