Ten minutes of focused math a day — matched to your kid's grade and, more importantly, to what they actually struggle with. Numbat Math is a tutor in your kid's pocket. Each day they get a short, adaptive set of practice questions. When they get something wrong, our AI tutor doesn't hand them the answer — it asks the right question to nudge them toward figuring it out. (The same way the best classroom teachers do.) Built for grades 3, 4, and 5. Built by parents, for parents. WHAT YOUR KID GETS • A short daily practice session that fits into any routine. • 450+ human-verified questions across arithmetic, fractions, decimals, geometry, measurement, and word problems. • An AI tutor that explains every wrong answer in language they understand. • Streaks, XP, and badges that make showing up feel rewarding. • Difficulty that adapts — easy at first to build confidence, then ramps up as they're ready. WHAT YOU GET • A parent dashboard with the weekly numbers that matter: time on task, accuracy by topic, which skills need attention. • An optional weekly email summary delivered every Monday. • Real account controls: pause, change plan, or delete the account permanently from inside the app. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT Most "math apps" either lean on AI to generate questions on the fly (great until the AI hallucinates a wrong answer and grades your kid on it) or pile on rewards while papering over weak skills. Numbat Math takes the opposite approach: every question is human-verified before it ever reaches a kid, and the adaptive engine actively over-practices the topics your kid is weakest in — because that's where learning actually happens. PRICING • Monthly — $9.99/month (first month $4.99 for new subscribers). • Annual — $74.99/year, includes a 3-day free trial. Cancel anytime from your Apple subscriptions page. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. PRIVACY Your kid's name never leaves the device. Practice data is stored in our backend so the parent dashboard works, but it's never shared with third parties and never used to train anyone's AI model.
