			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There always seem to be a love-hate relationship when we study Math. But for those who do love Math, MathRun is a fun website that lets you get math practice &#038; test your speed and skills in mathematics. The objective of the game is to quickly answer whether the equations shown are correct or incorrect as they roll up the screen.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/image_thumb60.png?570cd5" alt="math practice test" /></p>
<p>To play the game, use the arrow keys on your keyboard to indicate whether an equation is right or wrong. Similar to a brick game, you need to answer each equation before it reaches the top. Your <em>Brainspeed</em> and the numbers of equations solved are shown on top of the screen. As the game progresses to a higher level, every right answer also raises your Brainspeed. You can compete with other players and see how your score ranks compared to the highest scores of other users for the week and month.</p>

<ul>
<li>Free; no sign up is required.</li>
<li>Tests your math skills.</li>
<li>Bookmark and share the site on Delicious, StumbleUpon, Twitter, Facebook.</li>
