Learn · One small step
Pick something to explore together. Each path gives you a readiness check, a worked example and a short plan you can stop or repeat. You do not need to finish a game or reach a streak to make a useful discovery.
Four starting points
Each card routes one skill: read the lesson, try a free tool, then play. Take any step on its own.
Start here if: the learner recognises numbers 1–12. Begin with the short hour hand; counting in fives can come later.
Explain why the short hand sits between 3 and 4 at 3:30, rather than jumping from number to number.
Start here if: the learner can count objects and make equal groups. Repeated addition is a useful bridge to multiplication.
Build four groups of six, then use a known fact to work out an unfamiliar one.
Start here if: the learner can count a small collection and put objects into equal groups. A few multiplication facts help with the next step.
Show both “12 shared between 3” and “how many groups of 3 fit in 12?”
Start here if: the learner can say a familiar word and identify some of its sounds or letters. Choose a word they understand.
Say “ship”, notice that sh is two letters representing one sound, then cover and write it.
These are starting skills, not age tests or a diagnosis. If a step feels too large, return to objects, a drawing or an easier example. Follow your classroom's approach where it differs.
Any skill, any day
Ask one question before opening a tool: “What do you already know about this?” Listen for the method, not just the answer.
Explore one example together, then try two or three without a timer. Leave time to draw, count, say the idea aloud or change a guess.
Ask “How could we check?” Pick one thing to revisit next time, then take an offscreen break. The plan is a suggestion, not a daily requirement.
Pick what fits
The free tool collection includes movable clock hands, a multiplication chart, untimed typed practice and spelling with spoken words. A tool can be a short demonstration, not a whole lesson.
Make a printable practice sheet for multiplication, exact division or clock reading. A sheet code recreates the same questions; the answer key is optional and prints separately.
Clock Master offers clock lessons and adventures; Math Tank offers maths lessons, practice and game modes. Both launch in the browser without an account. Game challenges may involve timers; they are not required for these paths.
Looking for bookmarking, classroom use or local-save guidance? Visit Parents & teachers. For longer reads, try the guides on teaching time, times-tables games and explaining division. Adult support and sponsorship information lives on the separate support page.
PP1 · PP2 · Classes 1-5
Space Academy has 56 original maths and reasoning chapters with samples and worked methods.
Different chapters unlock systems on grade-specific rockets, rovers, probes and stations. Play seven distinct expedition activities and collect one Universe Passport across grades. Hinted answers stay separate from independent practice reports.
Class 1-5 topics reference public SOF IMO syllabi; PP1/PP2 are readiness activities, not official papers. This first-release collection is not complete exam preparation, and difficulty still needs independent educator calibration.
