How to Play Hitung Ceria
The seven topic islands, picture hints, stars, coins, Quick Mode, and Momo’s Wardrobe.
Learning through play with Momo
Hitung Ceria is a relaxed maths game. There is no game over and no countdown in the normal mode — children can think calmly, try again when they get it wrong, and still finish the level.
Seven topic islands
| Island | Content |
|---|---|
| Counting | Counting objects, from just a few up to 20 |
| Addition | Starting with small numbers (totals of 1–6) and rising gradually to totals of 30 |
| Subtraction | Objects taken away are crossed out so they are easy to see |
| Multiplication | Groups of objects (for example 3 groups of 4), then times tables up to 10 |
| Division | Sharing objects equally into groups; the answer is always a whole number |
| Compare | Choosing <, =, or > between two numbers |
| Mixed | Random questions from every topic |
Each island has 8 levels of 8 questions. The next level opens once the previous one is finished, and every island is open from the start. Higher levels add “missing number” questions such as 3 + ? = 7.
Answering
- Tap one of the big answer buttons at the bottom of the screen, or press 1–4 on the keyboard.
- Right answer: Momo jumps for joy and you get 5 coins (when correct on the first try).
- Wrong answer: that button closes and Momo cheers you on — try another answer.
Stars and coins
- ⭐⭐⭐ for at most 1 mistake, ⭐⭐ for 2–3 mistakes, ⭐ otherwise. Levels always finish — there is no failing.
- Coins come from first-try correct answers, answer streaks, and stars.
- Spend coins in Momo’s Wardrobe on hats (party hat, flower, cap, headphones, wizard hat, crown) and new colours.
Quick Mode
Pick one topic and answer as many questions as you can in 60 seconds. A wrong answer costs 2 seconds, and questions get a little harder every 5 correct answers. Your best score for each topic is saved.
Settings
Sound, music, Read questions aloud (questions are spoken when the browser supports it — helpful for children who are still learning to read), and Reduce motion.
Example: answer with picture support
Start on the counting island and invite the child to point to each object while counting in order. Then match the total to an answer. For addition, treat the two groups as a combined group. Do not prioritize speed: an answer the child can explain is more useful practice than a fast guess.
When a topic feels too difficult
Return to the preceding topic and use the pictures. A parent can read the question or enable Read Questions, then let the child explain their own approach. Quick Mode is additional practice; use it once the topic feels comfortable without a timer. Progress belongs to this device’s browser, so another device will not show the same stars.
