Maths practice
For classes 4 to 8. Pick what you want to practise.
Which class?
This decides what can turn up — negatives, decimals, powers — not how hard the questions get. Difficulty adapts on its own.
How a session works
20 questions, one at a time, typed on a number pad. There is no timer, no score and no way to lose — a countdown is the last thing a child who already dreads maths needs.
A right answer moves on. A wrong one turns the ring amber, then asks which part of the sum comes first, then folds the whole expression down a line at a time until the answer is all that is left. Two more questions of that same kind are added to the session, so the thing that just went wrong gets practised rather than skipped.
Answers are typed rather than chosen from four options. A four-option question is one-in-four guessable, and the wrong number a child types usually says which method they used — worked left to right, dropped a minus sign, read a power as a multiplication — which is what the parent report is built from.
What is in each topic
- Tables — Tables from 2 to 12, plus the two forms that catch children out long after they can recite the row: missing factors, and the division fact hiding inside every multiplication.
- Basic Computation — One operation at a time, in the order a child meets them: adding, then carrying, then subtracting, then borrowing, then multiplying and dividing.
- Mixed Operations — Several operations in one line, and nothing to tell your child which one goes first. This is the DMAS half of the order of operations — everything except brackets and powers.
- BODMAS — Brackets first, then powers, then divide and multiply, then add and subtract. The ladder starts with one bracket and ends with brackets inside brackets, powers, and negative numbers in the same line.
Working to a specific class? There is a page for BODMAS at class 7, scoped to what that year actually covers.
Common questions
Which class is this for?
Classes 4 to 8. The class you pick decides what can appear in a question — negative numbers, decimals, powers — rather than how big the numbers get. Difficulty is a separate thing, and it adapts as your child answers.
Does my child pick the difficulty?
No. There is no easy or hard button. Practice moves down a step after the same mistake twice and up a step once answers hold across different-looking questions, so the level follows the child instead of the child guessing at it.
Are the questions the same every time?
No. Every question is generated from a shape with fresh numbers, and the last few hundred your child has seen in a topic are remembered so they are not drawn again. A second attempt at the same topic is a different set of questions.
Where is my child's progress stored?
On the device they practise on, and nowhere else. There is no account and no sync, so the parent report shows what happened on that one phone or tablet.
