Getting a question ready…

How old are you? 🎈

Questions will match your age

How the farm maths game works

Questions that match your child’s age

Press the age button and pick anything from 5 to 10. Everything else follows from that: the size of the numbers, whether the answer is tapped out, chosen from options or typed on a keypad, and which kinds of question appear at all. A five-year-old counts ducks in a pen; a ten-year-old works out the change from a market stall.

A wrong answer turns into a counting lesson

Nothing is marked wrong in red and taken away. The first miss just says "try again". On the second, the picture itself regroups — the cow legs cluster into fours, the eggs into rows — and counts itself out loud with running totals, so the child arrives at the answer by seeing it rather than being told it. There is no score to lose and no timer running.

Every question can be read aloud

Press 🔊 Read it out and the question is spoken. That matters for a child who can do the sum but cannot yet read the sentence around it — which at five or six is most of them. It also lets a parent step away for a minute without the game stopping dead.

What maths it covers, age by age

Roughly the first five years of primary school, kept attached to things a child can see. Ages 5 to 6: counting a group, and adding or taking away within ten. Ages 7 to 8: two-digit addition and subtraction, missing numbers, and the first multiplication — chicken legs by twos, cow legs by fours, petals on a flower. Ages 9 to 10: sharing into equal groups with something left over, making teams, prices and change. The numbers stay small enough to picture, which is how children of this age actually understand them.

Questions parents ask

Which school years does this cover?

Ages 5 to 10 — roughly Year 1 to Year 5, or grades 1 to 5. Set the age and the questions move with it; there is nothing to configure beyond that.

What happens when my child gets one wrong?

Nothing punishing. They are asked to try again, and on a second miss the picture counts itself out in groups so they can see where the number comes from. No score drops and no streak breaks.

Can my child use it alone?

Yes, and the read-aloud button is there so a child who cannot read the question yet is not stuck. It is still better with someone sitting next to them, which is what the game was built for.

Are the scores kept, and is anything sent anywhere?

The chosen age stays in your own browser so you do not have to set it every time. Nothing else is stored and nothing is sent to us — there are no accounts and no adverts.
