THE PLAYBOOK · LOCTITECN

Making your first moves in Make 24

Choose a round of Make 24 and settle into its rules. Use all four numbers exactly once to obtain 24. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Keep the instructions close while learning this activity. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.

Each generated starting set has a verified solution; fractions are allowed.

Take a closer look while playing

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. Refer to the controls when needed.

What you need to achieve

Use all four numbers exactly once to obtain 24. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.

The playing sequence

  1. Choose two values in order.
  2. Choose addition, subtraction, multiplication or division.
  3. Combine and repeat.
  4. Undo explores alternatives; Show solution reveals a verified expression.

Getting comfortable with the controls

Tap two values, an operation and Combine. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. A new-round button replaces the current round.

Work through an example

Using 1, 2, 3 and 4 once each, (1 + 3) × (2 + 4) equals 24. Brackets determine which operations happen first. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Take a moment to compare.

A common point of confusion

Division and subtraction depend on selection order; zero division is blocked. Check the rule before repeating the action. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
