We build the fluency your maths curriculum quietly assumes
Good at maths is built, not born. Maths games aligned to your child’s school curriculum.
Most maths trouble traces back to one quiet gap in the basics that grew: miss number bonds to 10, and 18 + 17 becomes a wall. We close that gap step by step, then give the keen ones room to push further. Games your child plays on their own, with no reward loops or busywork.
Add & Subtract to 100
Addition and subtraction facts to 20, worked up to 100. Jumping to the next ten, two-digit sums, missing numbers and how many more.
2, 5 and 10 Times Tables
Times and division facts for the first three tables. Odd and even, arrays, and the patterns the tables make on the 100 square.
Division
Division as sharing and grouping. Division facts for the 2, 5 and 10 times tables, and reading divisions from arrays.
Number Bonds to 100
Pairs that make one hundred (37 + ? = 100), clever near-multiples like adding 19, and sums that cross one hundred.
3, 4 and 8 Times Tables
The next tables, built on doubling: the 4s are double the 2s, and the 8s are double the 4s.
Trickier Division
Dividing by 3, 4 and 8. Sharing with leftovers, and division problems with a twist, like which group has more.
Fractions
Thirds and quarters of shapes, bars, sets and amounts. Writing fractions, and seeing that 2/4 is the same as 1/2 by shading.
Equivalents & Tenths
Equivalent fraction families, tenths, and fractions on the number line.
Time to 5 Minutes
Telling the time to five minutes, quarter past and quarter to. Minutes in an hour, hours in a day.
Money
Pounds and pence. Making the same amount with different coins, adding money and giving change.
Reading Scales & Measures
Choosing the right units, and reading rulers, weighing scales, jugs and thermometers.
Durations & Trickier Scales
How long between two times, and scales where not every number is marked.
2D & 3D Shapes
Sides and vertices, vertical lines of symmetry, edges and faces, and 2D shapes on the surfaces of 3D shapes.
Patterns, Turns & Position
Patterns and sequences. Left and right, and quarter, half and three-quarter turns, clockwise and anti-clockwise.
Charts & Tallies
Pictograms, tally charts, block diagrams and tables. Counting, totalling and comparing.
Young children love learning
They ask questions constantly: why, how, what happens if? That curiosity is exactly what maths needs.
But maths is also unforgiving about foundations. Research consistently shows that fluency early on predicts later success in secondary school. Miss number bonds to 20, and a year later 28 + 17 becomes a struggle, let alone fractions and long division. The gaps accumulate quietly until maths starts to feel like a wall.
We couldn’t find one for our own children
We tried. There are maths games out there, but we could not find one we wanted for our own children. Most were noisy, addictive, and disconnected from the school curriculum.
Flashy characters, confetti and coins are not learning. They are attention hooks, mechanics designed to create dopamine traps and keep children clicking. We wanted something built for fluency and strong foundations, aligned with proper learning pathways and the national curriculum. Instead we found ourselves spending hours manually curating activities and filling the gaps ourselves. It was exhausting.
Groundwork for busy parents
Strong foundations need to become automatic, and they should not require hours of parental effort. So we built Stemigo Maths for our own children first.
Five to ten minutes, in the car or before dinner, and then back to the real world. What it builds is fluency: the fast, automatic recall that classrooms quietly assume is already there. And for children who want more, there is room to stretch further without a context switch.
No logins, no characters, no confetti, no in-app purchases, and nothing to install. Screen time is a budget, and every family spends it differently. We chose to spend ours on learning and on setting up strong foundations early.
We built it to one test: would we be happy handing it to our own children? We are.
