Maths App for Yr 3

DS loves Maths and is working in greater depth. He's asked for extra Maths lesson, as one of his friends does Kumon.

I can't afford this and don't think it's beneficial for him anyway, can anyone recommend a good Maths app to try instead? TIA

Dc likes squeebles.
Depends what you mean lots of practice of whole curriculum or add/sub multiply /divide?

Squeebles looks good but I'd prefer one app that covers at least the core addition, subtraction, division, multiplication etc.

My son nieces both love prodigy maths. It doesn't do anything beyond the syllabus but will cover everything up to Y6. My nieces are both doing long multiplication, probability etc on it despite never having being taught. I wouldn't recommend Kumon (even if you could afford it) for a kid who is at greater depth. Why not buy some books for him? The maths quest books are great and he'll be able to do them independently.

My DD uses IXL. It is structured around the topics/years in the National Curriculum, so it's easy to pick short exercises at an appropriate level for your child (which may be above or below the year group expectations).

Mathbingo is fun.

Mine do sumdog from time to time (just the free bits). The school as a whole subscribe to Mathletics but it's a pain in the arse to use on tablets.

We've downloaded Prodigy to start with. It's an American app and doesn't directly map across the the national curriculum. Some questions are written in a very confusing way, but other than that, DS is enjoying it a lot so far. We'll try the others as he gets bored with this one!!

Our school uses Doodlemaths and DD has gone from meeting AREs to working at greater depth. It has done wonders for her confidence.
