Practice for primary school
From working it out to knowing it.
Learnbits.app practises with you: mental maths. 8 minutes at a time, 3 times a day, and then it locks until tomorrow. No multiple choice, no ads, no endless scroll.
A day in the app
Four things, and then it is done
- Something hatches from an egg.Your child picks one animal out of six, gives it a name and a world to live in. Only then come the first questions.
- 8 minutes of practice.White paper, black ink, one question at a time. A mistake? Then the sprint stops, the right answer appears with the explanation, and that question comes back later.
- 5 minutes of play.One of the five games, with their own animal in it. Then the coin is spent.
- And then it stops.The little animal goes to sleep. There is no way to get another session, not even by nagging.
Six apps, one engine
Choose the subject
The same app with six kinds of content. Each app keeps track of its own animal, world and progress — what your child does in maths is separate from the verbs.

How it learns
Retrieval, not recognition
Never multiple choice
Your child types the word, taps the number or points to the province. Recognising is not the same as remembering, and only the second one sticks.
10 easy, 5 hard
Every session of 15 questions is put together afresh from what already works and what does not yet. Enough to hold on to in order to carry on, enough resistance to learn something.
A mistake stops everything
The screen turns red, the explanation appears, and the button to continue does nothing for a moment — so it gets read instead of clicked through.
One number for your child
How many days in a row they showed up. No score, no leaderboard, no comparison with other children.
What it costs
Nothing for now
Learnbits is still being built, and for as long as that is so there is no paywall and nothing is charged. Your child can do everything: the whole learning path, all the games, every day again.
