Ranked game modes: Elementary vs Middle vs High: ELO per mode

Math Class has three game modes. They don’t just get “harder”, they serve genuinely different question mixes. Here’s what to expect in each.

Elementary

All easy questions. The mix is roughly:

• ~70% pure arithmetic (+, −, ×, ÷)
• ~20% order of operations (PEMDAS)
• ~10% number patterns

No pre-algebra, no square roots. This is the speed-running mode: everyone can do the math, so matches are decided by raw pace and streak discipline.

Middle

Things open up: about a third easy, two-thirds medium difficulty, with the question types split evenly five ways:

• Arithmetic
• PEMDAS
• Number patterns
• Pre-algebra (solve for x)
• Square roots

The even split means you can’t hide from a weak topic, a pattern-blind player loses a fifth of the board.

High

The deep end: roughly 20% easy, 55% medium, 25% hard questions, weighted toward the technical topics:

• ~25% PEMDAS
• ~25% pre-algebra
• ~20% square roots
• ~15% arithmetic
• ~15% patterns

Hard questions take real working, this is where the scratch pad earns its keep.

Which mode should you play?

• New to the game? Start in Elementary to learn the pace and scoring.
• Comfortable with x? Middle is the most balanced competitive experience.
• Want the ceiling? High rewards genuine technique, and its harder questions are the same 5–10 points, so accuracy under pressure is everything.

Your rank is tracked separately in each mode, so switching costs you nothing.
