How Whyzies teaches it
- Each skill has its own level, which moves up or down after every answer, so your child spends most of their time on questions they can just about do.
- Skills come back for review after 1, 2, 4 and 7 days. “My mix” practises whatever your child finds hardest.
- All the maths games are free. Number Island, a step-by-step maths journey with bosses to beat, comes with Whyzies Plus.
Try it at home
- Count everything: stairs, grapes, cars. Ask “how many if one more comes?”
- Cook together: measuring, halving and sharing out are real maths.
- For times tables, a few minutes a day works far better than an hour once a week.
- Praise the thinking (“how did you work that out?”) more than the right answer.
Questions parents ask
What maths should a 5 year old know?
Most 5 year olds are learning to count reliably to 20, compare numbers and start simple adding with objects. Whyzies starts there and moves on as your child is ready.
Does it help with times tables?
Yes. Times tables practice adapts to the facts your child gets wrong or answers slowly, and brings them back more often.
Is it maths or math?
Both! Whyzies works the same everywhere, for parents who say maths and parents who say math.
