Help your child get started

Practice for a 7-year-old

Ask your child to describe a number problem before choosing an answer. Counters or a drawing can help connect the picture to addition and subtraction.

Investigation for an 8-year-old

After arranging a life cycle or a sentence, ask what would change if two parts were swapped. Encourage a reason, then revisit the activity to check the idea.

Try it at home

Turn a completed sentence into a little spoken story. Add a detail about where or when it happened, then compare it with the original idea.

Try it in the classroom

Pause before checking a puzzle and ask pairs to explain their choices to each other. Compare methods with drawings or objects, not just final answers.

A few useful answers

Do these games follow a particular school curriculum?

These guides describe the skills in the activities rather than claiming alignment with a national curriculum. Teachers can preview a task and decide how it fits their own lesson goals.

How do we choose a Level and start playing?

Open a game or Go to Worlds, then choose a Level using the shared profile controls if you have not chosen one yet. Levels 1–2 correspond to the age-two band, 3–4 to ages 3–4, 5–6 to ages 5–6, 7–8 to ages 7–8, and 9–10 to ages 9–10. The first Level in each pair offers a starter collection; the second offers a fuller collection. Age is guidance, and a discovery-page link does not change the profile.

Are the games free, and where is progress saved?

The activities are free to play without creating an online account. Profiles and supported activity progress stay in this browser on this device. They do not sync between devices. Private browsing, blocked storage or clearing browser data can prevent saving or remove local progress.
