No drilling. No tears. # Your child isn't bad at maths. The system just isn't built for them. We are.

Games they love Sibling challenges Whole-class battles Family rewards Zero pressure Anxious & ADHD kids [Get your child started tonight](/Register) [Are you a school? Sign up here โ†’](/ForSchools) 94% Better recall through games, not drilling Zero Timers. None. Ever. Games They already know and love Together Siblings, friends & whole classes THE RESULT ## Games they know. Friends they know. 94% better recall. Turns out when you take away the timers and add the games kids already love, they remember more, not less. [See the evidence](/Results) ## The fun does the teaching You don't need to nag, drill or sit through a battle. Just hand them the games they already love, and watch the times tables take care of themselves. ### Sibling & Friend Challenges Brothers, sisters and best friends go head-to-head in the games they already love. Suddenly times tables practice is something they're begging to do. ### Games They Already Know Snap, Connect Four, Bingo, Guess Who: the classics, with times tables woven in so naturally your child won't even realise they're learning. ### Real-Life, Non-Digital Rewards You set the rewards that matter to your family: a trip to the park, movie night, baking together. Maths becomes the thing that brings you closer. ## It's not just your child If your child shuts down, goes blank, or won't sit still for times tables, they're not behind, and you're not doing it wrong. The old timer-and-drill way fails huge numbers of kids. ๐Ÿ“‹ 1 in 5 pupils score 18 or below in the MTC, well below the level needed for secure recall Source: DfE MTC Attainment Statistics, 2025 ๐Ÿ“‰ 10% lower MTC scores for disadvantaged pupils, a persistent gap that isn't closing Source: DfE MTC Attainment Statistics, 2025 ๐ŸŽฏ 25% lower MTC scores for pupils with SEN, showing the system is failing those who need the most support Source: DfE MTC Attainment Statistics, 2025 The traditional approach, timed tests, repetition drills, and speed pressure, is often the _cause_ of the struggle, not the cure. So we threw it out. No timer to freeze on. No drilling to dread. Just the games children already love, with times tables built right in. ## Play โ†’ Learn โ†’ Love it It looks like they're just playing. They are.
