Math Slide (PEMDAS)

About Math Slide (PEMDAS)

Math Slide is the numbers sibling of PEMDAS Games' Word Slide. Each day's board is a small set of equations with missing numbers, laid out so that they run both across and down and share cells where they cross. A bank of number tiles holds the pieces, and each number can be used only once.

You drag numbers into the empty slots, and the puzzle is solved when every equation on the board is true. Because the equations cross, a number that fits one sum also has to fit the one running the other way, which is where most of the thinking goes. The clock runs from the start, and your completion time is ranked on the daily leaderboard and against friends.

A new board comes each day at midnight, the same for every player. Math Slide is free with no ads or account, in the browser and the PEMDAS app, beside Speed Word, Word Slide and Speed Stars.

It suits players who like Nerdle-style sums but want a quick, timed board instead of guess-and-check.

How to play Math Slide (PEMDAS)

1. Open Math Slide on pemdasapp.com or in the PEMDAS app.
2. Look at the equations across and down and the numbers left to place.
3. Drag a number into an empty slot; each number can be used only once.
4. Make every equation, across and down, come out true.
5. Fill the last slot correctly to stop the clock and see your rank.

Tips

• Start where two equations cross: the shared number has to work in both.
• Work out multiplications and divisions first; they leave fewer numbers that fit.
• Keep the order of operations in mind if an equation mixes signs.
