Hi! I'm the owl. Let's play maths together!

The owl

How a child plays

A parent sets the game up once and hands the iPad over. From there the owl leads.

  1. The owl says hello by name

    You type your child's name. If it is on the game's list of names, the owl says it out loud. If not, the name is shown on screen. In Lithuanian the owl's lines also follow whether the child is a boy or a girl.

    The owl's greeting: Hi Amelia! I'm the owl. Let's play maths together!

  2. Every task is read aloud

    One game is five tasks. The owl reads each one aloud and the speaker button repeats it. The light bulb gives a tip. Younger children pick from a few answers, older ones type the number themselves.

    A coins task: three one pound coins and three answers to pick from

  3. The level climbs with the child

    Every topic has ten levels. When things go well, the tasks get harder. Good answers earn stars and badges.

    A level ten task: 87 equals a missing number plus 7, with tens rods, ones cubes and a keypad
An explanation card for a balance scales puzzle: the wrong answer crossed out and the scales worked through step by step
A balance scales puzzle, worked through one swap at a time.

When an answer is wrong

The game does not stop at "wrong". It works out which mistake it was and explains that one.

  1. It spots the mistake

    For example 1 + 2 = 12: the numbers were written side by side. Or 12 and 20 mixed up, or two digits swapped.

  2. It shows it with a picture

    The child's answer is crossed out, and next to it the way to the right one is shown step by step.

  3. It checks the child understood

    After the explanation comes a task of the same kind with different numbers.

These screens are from the Lithuanian game. The English game has the same puzzles.

Who it is for

The tasks follow the British school curriculum. A parent picks the school year, and that decides where the child starts. The year can be changed later: nothing is lost, each year keeps its own levels.

Two languages

The game speaks British English or Lithuanian. The English game counts money in pounds and pence, the Lithuanian one in euros and cents.

What a parent controls

The parent screen opens when you hold the gear button, so a child will not land there by accident.

The child's profile
Language, name, boy or girl, school year. All of it can be changed later.
Play time
You set how many minutes of play are allowed and how long the break after it is. If time runs out in the middle of a game, the child still finishes it.
Progress
You see the level in every topic, how much has been played and where the child slips most often. Maths and logic are shown separately.
Privacy
The game works offline. It has no ads and no accounts, and it collects no data. Progress is kept on the iPad only.
The parent screen: child name, school year, play time limit and language
