What your child practises, grade by grade

Each grade is a separate ladder. A child picks their grade and climbs it, and the last level mixes every skill in that grade.

How it works

Pick a grade, type a first nameThat is the whole sign-up. The name is stored in the browser and never sent anywhere.

Climb the levelsClear one to unlock the next. Three stars for a perfect round, and a mixed challenge that draws from every skill in the grade.

Wrong answers explain themselvesEvery question carries a worked explanation, and a help card giving the standard's own method without giving the answer away.

A report card at the endQuestions answered, accuracy, skills practised and the benchmarks behind them, downloadable as an image.
