Math Primer
Read full descriptionHide full description
Math Primer is a learning app for iPad and iPhone, for the first years of primary-school maths. Plus, minus, multiplication and division — practised on a digital chalkboard, with Apple Pencil or keyboard. Six game modes: classic, marathon, sprint, free practice, a 40-stage learning path, and a multiplayer mode for siblings or parent and child. Problems are picked adaptively — the ones that aren’t sticking come up more often, the ones that are come up less. Whatever happens here happens on the device. The app is funded by the full version — ad-free. The wordmark and visuals are drawn in-house. For parents: a separate area, gated by a four-digit code, with per-child statistics — which times tables are landing, where the difficulties are, how the daily streak is going. Multiple profiles are available in the full version, so each child keeps their own learning path and their own statistics. On iPad in landscape, on iPhone in portrait. iOS 17 or later. Full version (one-time purchase, with Family Sharing for up to six family members): all 40 learning-path stages all multiplication and division tables (the core tables 1, 2, 5 and 10 are free) marathon, sprint and multiplayer multiple child profiles parent dashboard with statistics Math Primer is the first app from the fiomira studio. fiomira — fiō mīra, “Where wonders quietly grow.”

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Math Primer at weekly against Mathematics's every 3 months. Mathematics's advantage is iOS requirement (15.5 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
