Using it in class

Shared tablets, one profile per pupil, plans built from grade and skill, and printed sheets for quiet moments: how teachers can fit the site into a school day.

One profile per pupil

The site is free, with no accounts and no sign-up, so you can set it up in minutes. Give each pupil their own profile on the device they use: a first name or a nickname is enough, and a short nickname is kinder to anyone who might glance at the screen. Pupils can pick a small picture of their own, which helps younger ones find their profile quickly.

On a shared device, a pupil presses "Who's learning?" at the top of the page, then chooses their name. Results are then saved to that profile, so each child's progress stays separate from their neighbour's. Remind pupils to pick their own name before they start. The next child then simply selects theirs.

Remember where the data lives

Profiles and results are stored in the browser of the device. A pupil who uses the classroom tablet on Monday and a library computer on Tuesday has two separate sets of progress, unless you move it with export and import from the Parent Area. If the school computers wipe their data at logout, or pupils work in private windows, nothing will be kept. Test this before the first lesson with one profile, and ask your IT contact to keep the site's data if it is cleared automatically.

Plan by grade and skill

Mathematics follows the school years from Kindergarten to Grade 5, with an optional Grade 6. For a lesson, open the level that matches your class, then choose a topic and a skill that fits your plan. The Syllabus tab lists every skill with its status, and you can search or filter by passed and not yet. A pupil who is ahead can open the next level, and one who needs support can go back one.

Activities are short sessions with instant feedback, so they suit a ten-minute station, a warm-up or a plenary. Each skill can have several activities, so pupils on the same skill are not always seeing the same game. The Parent Area shows the progress of whichever pupil is active, and it works equally well for a teacher checking one child at a time.

Printing

The mental-maths sheet gives you 100 exercises on one printable page, with an answers page for marking. Open it from the menu, press "Print" and choose a printer or save a PDF. The same sheet shows all day, so the whole class can work on it together, and "New sheet" gives you another one. The page also has blanks for the date, start time, end time and score, which suit timed practice.

Language

Both English and French are available, which helps in immersion and bilingual classes. Switch with the flag at the top of the page. You can send a pupil a link in the language you want them to see.
