Start with your child
Where do they begin?
With what they know.
You don't need to guess where to begin. Our simple baseline assessment explores your child's number facts and the basic skills of maths, finding a starting place for each.
Practise the next steps
CLIC challenges practise the basic skills of maths. Learn Its helps children practise and recall essential number facts. When an answer needs another look, the app guides your child towards focused practice.
Know where to help
In your web portal, follow your child’s progress, see where they need support, and use helpful teaching notes and advice to guide them with confidence.
A useful free start
Find their starting point.
Keep practising. For free.
Your child completes their Baseline assessment and first Challenge Set, then keeps practising their current CLIC level and continues their Learn Its journey without payment. In your parent account, follow their progress, identify skills that need support and explore helpful teaching notes.
Choose a paid plan to unlock new CLIC levels. Register your free account and download the Android app from Google Play.

Step into Learn Its Practice
Explore Learn Its Practice.
Learn Its Practice explores fact families. Knowing 3 + 4 = 7 helps children discover 4 + 3 = 7, 7 − 3 = 4 and 7 − 4 = 3.
Catchy jingles repeat the facts in the background while your child answers related questions. They’re designed to help those facts stick.
Fair warning: the jingles might get stuck in your head too! Prefer a quieter session? Switch on Quiet Mode.

Family Voices.
Encouragement from the people they love.
Personalise the app with recordings from you, relatives or friends. Let familiar voices welcome your child, celebrate their progress and cheer them on at special moments.
A few words. A familiar voice.
A lovely little surprise.
A proud grandparent. A favourite auntie. Someone who always makes them smile. Record a short message for your child to hear through Pip, their friendly companion in the Glade.
“Well done! I’m so proud of you.”
Parents and carers manage the optional recordings in their account. Choose the child and the moment, record up to ten seconds, then listen back before saving.
