## What is Mental Math Puzzles & Practice?

Hone Math helps you actually get good at mental math — not with flashcards and gold stars, but by teaching you the method behind every skill, then letting you practice until it clicks.

Built for grown-ups who want to feel confident with numbers: splitting a bill, checking a total, working out a discount in your head. Calm, editorial design. No cartoons, no ads.

LEARN THE METHOD
Every skill starts with the trick — make ten, doubles, multiplying by nine, working out a percentage. See how it works on a clear example, then practice. Miss one and the method comes right back, so you can review it before continuing.

MASTER ONE SKILL AT A TIME
A clear path from the times tables through addition, subtraction, multiplication tricks, division, percentages, and everyday word problems. Watch each skill move from new to mastered.

PLAY YOUR WAY TO NUMBER SENSE
Three number puzzles that make practice feel like a game:
- Make Ten — clear the board by finding number bonds
- Cross-Math — fill a math crossword, from 3x3 up to 10x10
- Construct — build the target number from a tray of tiles
Each mode generates fresh puzzles. Hone Pro includes unlimited puzzles.

A CALM DAILY HABIT
A short Daily Workout keeps your streak alive in about three minutes. Small and consistent beats long and rare.

HONE PRO
After onboarding, a Hone Pro subscription is required. Choose a monthly or annual plan; eligible new subscribers receive a 3-day free trial with either plan. Hone Pro includes all 66 methods across 9 units, every drill operation—including division, percentages, squares and roots—plus unlimited puzzles and practice, with progress trends over time.

WHY HONE
- Learn the method, don't just drill
- Puzzles that build real number sense
- Practice works offline; your practice progress stays on your device
- No ads
- Hone Pro lets you choose light or dark

Learn the method. Practice until it clicks.

Works great on iPhone and iPad.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.7.0 — 2026-08-19

A new unit: Test-style problems. Eight new skills teach the patterns aptitude tests love — number series, remainders, last digits of big powers, rates, and age puzzles — each with its own method card, in English and Spanish.

### 1.6.2 — 2026-08-14

Improves purchase and account-change reliability, data recovery, and accessibility.

### 1.6.1 — 2026-08-13

Improves purchase and account-change reliability, data recovery, and accessibility.

### 1.6.0 — 2026-08-11

Hone Math has been rebuilt from the ground up as a native app. It launches faster, scrolls smoother, and now shares the look of the rest of the Studio AM apps. All 57 methods across 8 units are here, with the same practice, puzzles, Smart Set and weak-spot analysis you know.

Hone Pro is now a subscription — monthly or yearly, starting with a 3-day free trial. If you bought the lifetime unlock, it still works and always will: nothing to restore, nothing to buy again.

Your practice record stays yours. Subscribed or not, you can see your progress, export all of it as a file, or delete it — right from the plans screen.

One honest note: because this is a new app underneath, practice history from the previous version does not carry over. Your Hone Pro access does.

### 1.5.0 — 2026-08-06

15 new mental math methods across every Pro unit: give-and-take addition, subtracting by parts, multiplying by 9, 15, 99 and 101, numbers near 100, dividing by 8 and 25, the 1% building block, and working a price back to 100% after a discount. Plus a new everyday scenario: pairing a receipt into easy tens.
