The spelling routine every primary classroom uses, one word at a time, on screen. See the word, say it, cover it, write it from memory, then check. 964 words across 121 sets, Year 1 to Year 6, from the national curriculum and our own lists, with nothing to print and nothing to sign in to.

Times tables practice a child can use on their own, on a tablet or a laptop. Year 4 can go against the clock, the same shape as the government’s Multiplication Tables Check. At the end it shows which tables to work on, and the sheets to print for them. Nothing is saved about anybody.

Number bonds a child can practise on their own, on a tablet or a laptop. Pairs that make a number, and the subtraction that goes with them, which is what the Year 1 objective asks for. At the end it shows which pairs they are not secure on, and the sheets to print. No clock, and nothing is saved about anybody.

Mental addition and subtraction a child can practise on their own. Within 20 and crossing ten, a two-digit number and tens, three-digit sums in your head, and larger numbers. Year 4 and Year 6 use the levels either side, because their objectives are written methods rather than facts to recall. No clock, and nothing is saved.

Seeing how many there are without counting them, which is the Early Years skill the subitising resources here are built on. A picture shows for three seconds, then it goes, and the child says what they saw. Fingers, dots, dice, dominoes and cubes, each on their own, or all of them mixed up. The keypad waits until the picture has gone, because otherwise it is a counting exercise. Nothing is saved about anybody.

It generates maths tests, it runs as a separate application on its own address, and it opens in a new tab. You sign in there with the same details you use here, so it is one account, with nothing separate to set up and nothing extra to pay.

End-of-year reports written from what you actually taught, in the words you would have used. Pick the child, the year group and the units you covered, and edit every line before it goes anywhere near a parent.
