Start with your child

Where do they begin?
With what they know.

You don't need to guess which worksheet or school-year level to choose. Baseline explores your child's number facts and broader maths, finding a starting place for each.

01

Find a starting place

A calm first exploration helps the app choose suitable practice. Your child sees encouragement, without a score or visible timer.

02

Practise the next steps

CLIC challenges explore broader maths. Learn Its develops number-fact recall. Your child can choose one activity and take a break.

03

Know where to help

See their progress, understand which skills need another look, and find one thing to try together this week.

Encouragement along the way

Meet Pip.
A familiar face in the forest.

Pip brings encouragement to your child's journey. When maths needs another look, focused practice or an invitation to ask a grown-up can help identify a useful next step.

You don’t need to be a maths expert
to be in their corner.

Your account helps turn practice into a useful conversation. Friendly teaching notes can include pictures and explanations, so you can give a little help with confidence.

A few things you might be wondering

Let's make it clear.

Does my child's school need to use Big Maths?

No school connection is needed to use Big Maths Beat That! It is a separate app from Big Maths Online and Big Maths at Home, with its own account.

Will my child see marks or a timer?

The child experience uses encouragement, the Progress Tree and Learn Its medals. It doesn't display scores, rankings or a clock to beat.

Does the app teach new maths?

Adults explain new ideas. The app explores what the child can do, offers practice and shares information that can help adults decide where teaching may be useful.

Can we use it without WiFi?

Baseline and questions already available on the device work offline. Connect for setup, new content and to share saved progress with your account.

When can we download it?

The app is being prepared for iPhone and Android. Check the account portal for current availability and getting-started information.
