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.

Your times tables – automatic at last. 1×1 Master is the times-tables trainer for adults. For everyone who briefly freezes when 7×8 or 6×9 comes up in everyday life – and finally wants to change that. Calm, respectful, and free of childish clutter. No brute-force memorization: 1×1 Master builds on the tables you already know and derives every hard fact from them. HOW IT WORKS • 2-minute sprint in three phases First estimate the magnitude, then recall the fact reliably, and finally apply it to everyday situations – short enough for every day. • Anchor hints Hard facts are derived from anchors you already know: 7×8 becomes 5×8 plus 2×8. Real understanding instead of blind drilling. • Spaced repetition Speed and accuracy decide when a fact comes back. You practice exactly what is still shaky – not what you mastered long ago. • Mastery matrix The 10×10 matrix shows at a glance which facts are automatic, which are in training, and which are still uncertain. • No-shame onboarding A calm check without right-or-wrong judgment determines your starting point. No pressure, no red pen. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No accounts, no sign-up • No cloud – everything stays on your iPhone • No ads, no tracking • Works completely offline Times tables are not kid stuff. They are a foundation – and it is never too late to finally lay it properly.
