How it works
- Add your child and their schoolWhere we can find their school's maths order, practice follows it half term by half term. Otherwise it keeps to the usual order for their year.
- Your child does a few challenges each dayOn what their year covers this half term, pitched just above where they are.
- You see how they're getting onA weekly view of what they've mastered, what's still tricky and what to help them with.
It keeps pace with your child's school year
Practice at home covers what their year is on this half term. Where we have their school's maths order, it follows that, so it backs up the teaching rather than pulling in another direction. Topics from earlier in the year come back, so they stay mastered.

It's Autumn 2. Practice is on addition and subtraction.
Master it, then move on
A topic moves on once your child gets about 4 in 5 right. If they keep slipping, it steps back to the idea underneath and comes at it another way. Nobody races ahead with gaps.
Mastery learning adds about five months of progress over a year, according to the Education Endowment Foundation. The research we use

What you see as a parent
Which year's work they're on compared with where their year has got to. Each week: the days they practised, what they've mastered, what's still tricky and one thing to ask them about. You encourage; the practice does the teaching.
Up to four grown-ups can see it, each with their own sign-in. You can share a child's report with their tutor too.
On a shared iPad, the grown-ups area sits behind a 4-digit PIN.

Bond books, tracked
If your child works through Bond books, log each paper's score, time and the question numbers they got wrong. We never ask for the questions. Each wrong answer is sorted by type, so you can see which ones keep coming up.

One account for the whole family
Up to three children on one family account. Each has their own book with their own progress, to tap on a shared iPad or computer. A picture code stops brothers and sisters playing as each other.
Questions parents ask
Which years is it for?
It's for children in Years 1 to 6. It covers everything from early reading and number bonds up to the 11+.
Does it replace a tutor?
It works on its own, or alongside one. Your child gets daily practice that matches their class and you see where they need help. If they have a tutor, you can share each child's report with them so sessions start with this week's gaps. How it works with a tutor.
Does it follow the maths scheme my child's school uses?
If the school uses White Rose Maths, tick it on your child's report and practice follows the White Rose order. Where we've mapped a school's own plan, practice follows that. Otherwise it follows the national curriculum for your child's year.
Do we need Bond books?
No. CoachKite has its own questions. If you already use Bond books, you can log each marked paper. Its score and the questions your child got wrong then show on their report next to their practice.
Is there an app to download?
No. It runs in the web browser on an iPad, a laptop or a family computer.
