Math Minute

The biggest update since launch - a year of work in one go. PRACTICE WHAT THEY MISSED The result screen now names the exact facts your child got wrong, and "Practice now" turns them into a short untimed set on the spot. Each missed fact is asked twice, topped up with fresh ones so a single slip doesn't make a two-question quiz. DIVISION, AND ROOM TO GROW INTO IT Division joins add, subtract and multiply. Questions always divide evenly, so there are never any remainders. A WRONG ANSWER NOW TEACHES Instead of just a red cross, the whole fact appears: 7 + 8 = 15 and the clock is held while it's on screen, so reading it costs no quiz time. NOT EVERY CHILD WANTS A CLOCK "10 questions" is now free and has no timer at all, so a younger child can practice without a countdown. MORE TO COME BACK FOR A live streak counter on the quiz screen. Progress bars on locked achievements, so a child can see what's nearly won. Four new badges for turning up 3, 7, 30 and 100 days running. 43 badges in total, each with its own artwork. LEAVING AND COMING BACK The back arrow asks before it ends a quiz, and keeps what was answered. Backgrounding the app freezes the clock and hands back a different question, and the result screen reports the pause honestly instead of penalising it. SOUND, AND A CHOICE ABOUT IT Answer sounds and haptics, both switchable. READS BETTER EVERYWHERE The sum scales with the screen - on a 13-inch iPad the digits are more than twice their old size. Light and dark now follow your device by default. The countdown, the app bar and the achievement list were all rewritten for readability, and the result screen leads with the score.
