Pip explains each idea in small steps
Every school year is its own adventure, with its own map. In Year 1, children tap a place, learn the idea with Pip, then have a go. There is a hint when they need one, and right answers earn feathers and stars.
By Year 11, it is marked like a GCSE
Every GCSE topic is here, at Foundation and Higher tier. Questions carry marks, a calculator is there when one is allowed, and children can see how an examiner would mark each one. Practice papers follow your exam board’s layout.
Practice earns acorns, and a finished year earns a certificate
Acorns are spent in the dressing-up chest, on outfits for each child’s own animal. Pass the year’s final practice papers and there is a certificate to print, with their top skills and stars.

Grown-ups can see what is working
The grown-ups’ area has its own PIN. It shows how each child is improving week by week and which topics are worth more practice, and you can set play time limits for each child.

Questions parents ask
Is Mayes Maths & More really free?
Yes. It is free to download and free to use, with no adverts, no in-app purchases and no subscription. It was made to help children learn, not to make money.
Which ages and school years does it cover?
Every school year in England from Year 1 to Year 11 (ages 5 to 16), from counting and number bonds to GCSE Foundation and Higher tier. There is also 11+ practice in maths and non-verbal reasoning for Years 4 to 6.
Does it follow the National Curriculum?
Yes. Each year follows the National Curriculum for England. GCSE practice papers follow the layout of the AQA, Edexcel (Pearson), OCR and Eduqas exam boards, and questions show how an examiner would mark them.
How does it help my child learn?
Pip the owl explains each idea in small steps, then children practise with hints and a step-by-step "Show me how" when they are stuck. Questions get harder as they improve, and a grown-ups’ area shows which topics are improving and which need more practice.
How does it keep screen time healthy?
Practice comes in short rounds of 10 questions, and rewards come from right answers, not time spent. Pip suggests a break after 15 minutes in a row, acorns for outfits are capped at 50 a day, every new child starts with a 30-minute daily limit, and grown-ups can set their own play time limits. There are no leaderboards and no competing with classmates.
Is my child’s data safe?
Yes. There are no accounts or sign-ups, and nothing about your child leaves the device: progress is saved only on the phone, tablet or computer they use. There is no tracking and no advertising.
Does it work without the internet?
Yes. Open it once while online, or install it on the device, and it then works offline. It runs in a web browser, so it works on iPhone, iPad, Android, Chromebook, Windows and Mac without an app store.
