DoodleMaths: Primary Maths

We purchased this app a year ago after we had been recommended it by a friend. We bought it to keep his Maths going over the holidays, he was almost 7 when purchasing. To my amazement he has used it every day since and has an unbroken steak. He rapidly became top of Maths in his class despite being an August boy and currently has a maths age of 13 despite not turning eight until next week. How accurate this maths age is I am not convinced as it goes up by 0.02 every time a New this week is done however he is currently half way through the year 6 syllabus. His mental maths is now amazing. He knows his times tables inside out however the down side is that he is now bored at school. Not sure how to address this but reluctant to stop as he is at least being challenged at home. Rather than just going up in age is there any other options? We tend to average 10 mins per day. He loves buying items for his pet, although many seasonal items are the same as last year. Can this be expanded? Overall definitely recommended. Made an enormous difference.

I’ve been looking for a maths app for my children, we tried unsuccessfully quite a few free apps, then a friend recommended doodle maths as their children use it at school, I was hesitant on paying the money if it wasn’t going to work as the others but my friend said her children were quite motivated in completing daily challenges so I thought it was worthy, and she was right, best app ever! Fair enough my children do not rush on their own to get it done, but most of the days they only need a reminder, it definitively made a difference at school, homework was easier and you could tell when they were not doing their doodle exercises for a long time because marks went down in the assessments... The way they use the pet and stickers to motivate works with boys and girls (although more with girls) and I love thy have special holidays treats. I like that if there is a topic where they are stuck they have to work at it before pass, they have been very good this summer keeping a streak of 25 days so far! I am sure this will make a big difference when school starts again, not only getting back to homework routine will be easier, but they will be more confident in their maths and that is half of the job done!

My 8 year old son has made great progress over the last year by doing this app. The great thing is that it doesn’t take very long for him to do the daily questions, just 5-10 min, so he has got into the habit of doing it every morning. He likes collecting the stars and he really enjoyed the Christmas calendar. He is less keen on playing the games because he gets anxious under the pressure of the time restraints and this prevents him from being able to work out the simplest of sums. I’m sure other children would enjoy the challenge though. I was so impressed with this App that I recommended it to our school and they bought membership for all the pupils :)

I have tried several apps to help my 9 year old improve his maths, but this one is head and shoulders above any others we have tried. My son really enjoys the app, he is really motivated by winning stars to buy prizes and it is definitely helping him improve his skills. We especially loved the advent calendar - the first thing he wanted to do when he woke up each morning of December was do his doodle maths to open a window! Brilliant app, thank you so much. One tiny negative point - my son uses the speaker button to hear the questions as he is dyslexic, and the word ‘multiplied’ is pronounced ‘mulitipleed’. It would be good if this could be fixed.

This app couldn’t of come at a better time. My son has done really well coping with lockdown but sometimes he just doesn’t want to do homework, so when I showed him DoodleMaths everything changed. My son struggles with maths (so does his mum!!) and this app is great for understanding your child’s needs. You can also get certificates praising your child’s progress (such a great idea and also an amazing confidence boost for our little dudes and dudettes ) I think that’s on a premium subscription, but even so it’s still a great idea. I will be downloading the DoodleEnglish and DoodleTables as well. A very big thank you for making my sons life easier and mine : )
