If so how?

If not,seen any good alternatives?Working on the Ipad is the only way to go with ddGrin.

It won't work on the iPad. It needs Flash which doesn't run on an iPad or and iPhone.

Some kind soul from MN pointed me at the puffin browser which DOES support flash on an ipad. You can get 14 days free trial but I think it's only a couple of quid anyway.

If you get Puffin browser websites that need flash player will run on this, but you need the paid for version not the free one.
DD's school uses Mathletics on their iPads and fully investigated this and purchased Puffin to solve the problem.

We've been using Komodo Maths on our ipad and I'd recommend it. I've seen great progress and it's easy to use, great rewards system. You have to sign up on their site //www.komodomaths.com then download the app to the ipad. My friend has an andoid tablet and she's using it too.

Puffin browser will do it (as others have said, I think it's £1.99) but beware it does drain your battery life Sad

How old is your dd? I like what I've seen of beluga maths so far. It's only a pilot at the moment, so the full app isn't available yet (although I believe it is coming soon). It's also completely free.
