Spaced Math helps kids master addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts with short daily practice. Instead of random drills, it uses spaced repetition to bring each fact back right when it's ready to review — so practice stays short and focused on what your child actually needs. FREE TO TRY Start free with one child profile and one operation of your choice — the complete spaced-repetition experience, with voice, handwriting, iCloud backup, and progress all included. One simple unlock adds everything else, and it's shared with your whole family. No subscriptions, no ads, no accounts. MATH FACTS THAT STICK Every child gets a personal review queue. New facts, weak facts, recent mistakes, and overdue facts are tracked separately, so sessions stay short and useful. Choose any operation and control the active numbers from 1–12. THREE ANSWER MODES Kids can answer the same fact three ways: • Keypad — fast, simple, reliable. • Voice — speak the answer naturally ("twenty-four", "two four", or "144"). • Handwriting — write with Apple Pencil or a finger. Switch modes anytime. Voice uses Apple's speech recognition; we never see or store the audio. BUILT FOR FAMILIES Create up to 8 profiles on one device. Each profile keeps its own progress, settings, streak, mistakes, and review schedule. Parent-locked settings keep kids practicing the facts you picked. THREE SESSION TYPES • Study — spaced-repetition review for the facts due today. • Practice — free drill, biased toward weak facts by default. • Review — focused cleanup for mistakes, lapsed facts, and overdue cards. READABLE PROGRESS See due and new counts, learned facts by operation, streaks, and mistakes. Parents can tell what's improving and what still needs work — without managing a classroom system. OPTIONAL ICLOUD SYNC AND HOUSEHOLDS Use Spaced Math on one device, or turn on iCloud sync to keep progress in step across your devices. Set up a household to share every child's profile with family members. Manual JSON export/import is available for backup. Sync uses Apple's CloudKit — your data goes to your private iCloud, never to us. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No ads, no subscriptions, no accounts. • One simple one-time unlock — that's the only purchase, and it's Family-Shared. • No analytics, no third-party SDKs, no developer-operated servers. • Microphone audio is processed live and discarded. We never see it. • Deleting a profile actually wipes it — including the iCloud copy on the originating account. iPhone and iPad. iOS 15.0 or later.

About

Mokulua Math

Features
Read full description

Mokulua Math is a beachside math adventure built by a dad, with characters inspired by his family's favourite characters and inspired by Lanikai's Mokulua Islands. Practice addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division with helpful hints and playful boss rounds. Behind the scenes, a carefully built learning system remembers which facts are known, which need support, and when to revisit each one to help learning stick. It also turns recent play into printable worksheets with answer keys. THE LEARNING SYSTEM • More than 1,100 facts, from small sums to sums in the hundreds and times tables 1 to 12, each tracked on its own. • Review uses spaced repetition built on the SM-2 algorithm. Most missed facts return a few questions later and again the next day. Known facts return at widening intervals, out to months. • Every answer is recalled and typed, never chosen from a list. After a miss, the right answer is shown and typed in, and a helper card can show one way to work it out. • Five levels per operation move up and ease back on their own. Times tables build in a deliberate order, starting with 1, 2 and 10 and saving the hardest 11s and 12s for last. • Levels, the review schedule and the Progress count are based on right and wrong answers, never on answer time. PRINTABLE WORKSHEETS Open Parents, then Worksheets. Each sheet has 40 questions built from the past month of play: a few tricky facts, repeated among related and familiar ones, plus a separate answer key. With few misses, it makes a balanced review sheet instead. Every sheet is a PDF made on the device, in A4 or US Letter, ready to save, share, or print. Worksheets unlock after a little play. PROGRESS In Parents, opened with a 4-digit code, Progress counts a fact as known once it is answered right at least 3 times and at least 7 times in 10. It also shows each math level and recent first tries. ON THE ISLAND Every 15 right answers, one of 20 friendly beach characters drops by for a boss round. Collect 80 stickers, unlock new pets, and gear up your favorite characters along the way. Works offline, so a little island adventure can come along anywhere. No ads, no purchases, no accounts, no data collected.
