Make 24: how a round works
Try Make 24 at your own pace and keep its objective in view. Use all four numbers exactly once to obtain 24. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Keep the instructions close while learning this activity. Use the example below to understand a decision.
Each generated starting set has a verified solution; fractions are allowed.
Something to practise
Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Use the example to check your reasoning.
What you are aiming for
Use all four numbers exactly once to obtain 24. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
The steps to play
- Choose two values in order.
- Choose addition, subtraction, multiplication or division.
- Combine and repeat.
- Undo explores alternatives; Show solution reveals a verified expression.
Choosing and moving on screen
Tap two values, an operation and Combine. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
See the idea in action
Using 1, 2, 3 and 4 once each, (1 + 3) × (2 + 4) equals 24. Brackets determine which operations happen first. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Keep the controls nearby.
A useful caution
Division and subtraction depend on selection order; zero division is blocked. Compare the situation with the worked example. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
