Top KenKen: the puzzle that mixes arithmetic and logic

What is Top KenKen?

KenKen is a number grid split into cages, each with a target and an operation, like 12× or 5+. Children fill the grid so no number repeats in a row or column, and every cage meets its target.

How it helps your child

  • Practice with adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing in a fun setting.
  • Planning, trying and ruling out.
  • Flexible thinking and problem solving.
  • Confidence with numbers.

Suitable ages

It suits children from age 7. We start with 3×3 grids and addition only, then grow the grid and the operations.
