Your child will beg for “just five more minutes” of maths.
MathCraft disguises the White Rose curriculum as a pixel-art RPG. They see quests and companions. You see real progress.
Tuesday evening. Your child opens their tablet. You brace for the homework fight. But tonight is different. Tonight they open MathCraft. They feed their dragon. They solve a puzzle about sharing pizza equally. They battle a goblin warlord. 20 minutes later, they close the app — grinning. They have no idea they just practised fractions, multiplication, and division. You do.
Three steps. Three minutes.
Choose a companion
Your child picks a dragon, robot, or alien — names it, feeds it, watches it evolve.
Explore the island
Complete daily quests to build farms, forges, and bridges. The island grows with every correct answer.
Track real progress
Your parent dashboard shows accuracy, curriculum coverage, AI tutor logs, and more — behind a PIN.
They never see a worksheet.
Every maths question is buried inside a quest. Your child is not “doing fractions” — they are splitting provisions for their dragon after a goblin raid. They are calculating building costs to fortify their island’s defences. They are negotiating trades at the market.
They choose a companion — a dragon, a robot, or an alien — and watch it evolve as they play. They build an island that fills with crops, glowing forges, and fireflies as they progress. The maths powers everything, but the adventure is all they see.
Every question uses our Deep Mastery approach: inverse problems, multi-step challenges, and structured thinking — techniques that the Education Endowment Foundation identifies as effective for building mathematical reasoning.
2,000+ question templates Year 1 through Year 9 Every one wrapped in story
You see everything. They see adventure.
One dashboard, behind a PIN. Here is what you get:
- Today’s snapshot: Questions answered, accuracy rate, streak count.
- Curriculum heatmap: 85+ White Rose Maths topics across 9 year levels, colour-coded by mastery.
- AI tutor logs: Every conversation between your child and Merlin, word for word.
- Time controls: Set a hard daily limit from 15 to 60 minutes. The app locks when time expires.
- Progress over time: Accuracy trends, activity charts, year-level advancement.
No black boxes. No guessing. No guilt.
Screen time with a hard stop.
You set a daily time limit. When it expires, the app stops. If your child needs five more minutes to finish a quest, you override with your PIN. You are always in control.
The AI wizard tutor, Merlin, never gives answers. He asks guiding questions until your child works it out themselves. Every conversation is logged in your dashboard. This is the most transparent AI tutoring in any children’s app.
Meets your child wherever they are.
