Maths apps for primary age - what are you all using?

[CambridgeshireMum]

My daughter is in Year 1 and I want to give her some extra maths practice at home. I know screen time is not ideal but if she is going to be on a screen anyway I would rather it be something useful.
We have been using Mathsonaut (mathsonaut.com) and she loves the space theme. It follows what she does at school and is only 35 quid a year which is decent. But what else is out there?
What works for your kid?

Duolingo is great. When you start playing, you can specify what level you’re currently working at. So, there won’t be any crazy algebra involved.

At that age I seem to remember the school had already set them up a login for a recommended app. It was Sumdog I think.

Reading eggs has one called maths seeds. Mine really likes it

Numbots

My kids school have subscriptions for time-table rock stair, and purple mash (has bit linked to most subjects). The log in details are glued in the back of DS's reading record book, but weren't massively pushed to do at home, so might be worth checking if your school offers anything similar before you buy anything.

Duolingo is fab. DS has been learning another language with it too. And you add family members so you all can benefit from it.

Thanks for the suggestion! I have tried Duolingo and apps like it but they feel a bit too corporate for my liking. Lots of flashy stuff going on but not always clear how it links to what she is actually doing at school.
What matters most to me is something simple, follows the curriculum, and does not cost a fortune. Khan Academy is brilliant for free, and after that I think Mathsonaut does a really good job for the price. 35 quid a year is hard to argue with.
Will keep trying the ones people have mentioned here and report back if I find anything better. Keep the recommendations coming, really appreciate it :)

Our school used Numbots in year 1/2 then time table rockstars.
We use spelling shed for spelling but there is a maths shed too however not used it.
Our school also uses Century Tech which covers lots of subjects.

I teach y1. We use Numbots. I also recommend Hit the Button (you don't need the app, it is on the Topmarks website).

Our school uses timetables rockstars, matheltics and my sons prep uses My Maths. All seem good, mathletics it was quite easy for her to pick very basic things just to get the points so needs a bit of supervision. Tbh, for year one I just think getting them into maths through cooking, time telling, simple adding, spending money etc is better than apps. My son could tell the time way before they did it at school because it's a good life skill in general so we accidentally taught it at home...

We got on well with Doodle maths, but it's expensive to get it yourself.

We also like Doodle Maths. Both my DCs are now KS3 and it goes up to that level.

Another vote for Doodle maths, it gives a nice rounding in not just numbers but also practical early mechanics concepts like measurements, shape, currency etc. it’s quick and easy 6 questions a day. We also subscribe to the English/spelling.

In total 10 mins a day which earns a reward of 15 minutes play on a game. So hardly huge screen time imho, better they learn doing something that motivates them. And it is useful when we are doing jobs as learning is slow enough for self progression

free apps we like Duo, Lingo and Khan for fun but ad hoc use.

Sounds like an article or survey being researched!

Anton (not just for maths but whole curriculum) and it’s free!

My daughter is in year one and she has a numbots account through the school. May be worth asking the school, they may have a subscription for something but just not add the younger children on. They could probably add your child for free.
I’m a high school maths teacher and it seems pretty good to me. Then they usually progress to time table rockstars and in my high school we use sparx maths.
Also getting numberblocks toys and following the episodes can be good

White Rose Maths 1 Minute App (free)

Try and keep things practical as well. There are children out there who don’t know their number bonds to 10 and use fingers at secondary school.

get counters or small objects out and follow the curriculum. The apps are great but they don’t always reinforce leaning as it’s one dimensional.

and practice times tables using songs from YouTube.
