Number sense
Count, compare, place and regroup numbers before relying on memorised procedures.
Maths · Activity guide
Maths practice that builds sense, not speed.
A useful five minutes might mean counting objects, spotting a pattern or explaining why two fractions match. Use these ideas for conversation or practice, then try the separate demo or printable below.
No account or card. This is a mixed ten-question demo; signed-in learning starts from the choices on your child’s Home.
Ideas to explore
From quantities they can see to reasoning they can explain
These are general activity ideas, not a complete course or a list of activities available to every child after sign-in. The age and grade guides are approximate.
Operations in context
Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division appear in small situations a child can picture.
Fractions, shapes and patterns
Notice what stays the same, what changes and which rule explains the pattern.
After the demo
Choose from what is available for your child.
After sign-in, your child’s Home shows the learning goals currently available for their age and level. The demo and printable in this guide are separate ways to try an activity. Practice collections chosen with a parent are separate; these record practice, not independent learning progress.
- Choose 5, 10 or 15 questions for practice
- Teaching has separate steps where offered
- Parent reports distinguish practice from independent progress

What “thinking about maths” looks like
- Early number: Two plates have 5 strawberries each. Which picture shows 10 altogether?
- Place value: Which number has 4 tens and 7 ones — 407, 74, 47 or 11?
- Reasoning: One half and two quarters cover the same amount. Which diagram shows why?

Number Stepping Stones
Children aged roughly 7–8 count in threes, mark multiples to uncover a safe path, then explain how they recognise the pattern. It is one A4 page, black and white, with no sign-in.
