The learning path

The home screen is a path your child works through from top to bottom. Lessons sit along the path like steps, and you tap one to start it.

Four units, one per operation

The path is split into four units, in this order: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division. Each unit covers one type of math. A child works through addition first, then moves on to subtraction, and so on.

Every unit holds five lessons. The lessons get harder as you go. The first lesson in a unit uses the smaller numbers for your child's age; the fifth uses the largest. So lesson 1 of addition is gentle, and lesson 5 stretches a bit more.

How lessons unlock

Lessons open in order. The first lesson in a unit is ready right away. Finish it and the next one opens. When all five lessons in a unit are done, the next unit becomes available.

You can't skip ahead. If your child taps a lesson that isn't open yet, a small note reminds them to finish the previous one first. Completed lessons stay open, so a child can go back and practice any of them.

What's in a lesson

Each lesson is a short set of questions. The number depends on age: about six questions for the youngest children, eight for the middle group, and ten for older ones. That keeps a session short enough to hold attention.

The questions are made fresh every time. Repeating a lesson doesn't give the same questions again, so a child can practice the same skill without memorizing answers in order.

Lessons that start finished

Depending on the starting level you picked or the placement test result, some early lessons may already be marked done. This is on purpose. For example, the oldest age group skips the addition and subtraction units entirely and begins at multiplication, since those children have usually covered the basics already. You'll see those units shown as complete from the start.
