What your child learns in Numsprite
Numsprite is a maths game, and a set of practice that climbs one step at a time. This page explains what your child learns, how we protect privacy, and what's free and what VIP adds.
What they learn
Mainly maths for ages 6 to 12, set by level rather than by school year: pick a level the first time you play, and skip what's already known.
Number and calculation
Place value, the four operations, fractions, decimals, percentages and mental maths tricks.
Shape, measures and data
2D and 3D shapes, perimeter, area, volume, time and measures, and charts.
Olympiad thinking
Classic problem types such as chickens and rabbits, the pigeonhole principle, patterns and sequences, from Easy to Expert.
IQ and reasoning
Picture patterns, spatial reasoning and logic: learning to see how things relate.
Several methods side by side
One question, more than one way to think
Every topic sets out several methods side by side, so your child can pick the one that makes sense instead of memorising a single routine. Each method is checked by hand.
6 + 7 = ?
Method 1
Near doubles
6 + 6 = 12, then 1 more: 13.
Method 2
Make ten
Add 3 to 7 to make 10, then the other 3: 13.
Both are right. Pick the one that clicks.
Every question explained
Get it wrong, and see why straight away
- A wrong answer shows the right one with a short explanation, and an animation of the method, step by step.
- Hints open one at a time, pointing the way rather than giving the answer, so your child works it out.
- VIP adds illustrated step-by-step solutions that also point out the common mistake.
Privacy and safety
