Math Matchsticks

Math Matchsticks takes the classic matchstick-puzzle format and applies it directly to arithmetic: you're shown an equation built from matchstick digits and symbols that isn't currently true, and the challenge is moving a limited number of matchsticks to make it correct. Because moving a matchstick can change a digit into a different one entirely or flip an operation symbol, working out which specific move actually fixes the equation requires testing arithmetic possibilities rather than just rearranging shapes visually. A move that looks plausible can still produce an equation that's still wrong, so checking the arithmetic after each attempted move matters as much as the visual rearrangement itself. As puzzles allow fewer matchstick moves or use more complex equations, finding the correct fix demands genuinely careful arithmetic reasoning rather than trial and error alone.
