Games

Why learning games help

• Short daily practice that feels like play, so children come back to it on their own.
• Each game adapts to the player, so it is never too easy and never too hard.
• Builds speed and accuracy with number facts, words and science facts, the basics that bigger questions are built on.
• Free for every student, with no sign-in needed. Sign in only to keep progress across devices.

What the research says

• Testing yourself and spreading practice over several days are two of the best-supported ways to learn, for students of all ages. Dunlosky et al., 2013, Psychological Science in the Public Interest
• Children with stronger number skills in kindergarten went on to do better in maths, and kept improving faster, up to Class 3. Jordan et al., 2009, Developmental Psychology
• Across 57 comparisons, students who learned with well-designed digital games learned more than those taught without them. Clark, Tanner-Smith and Killingsworth, 2016, Review of Educational Research
• Memory training makes children better at memory tasks, but not at maths or reading by itself. That is why every game here practises a real school skill. Melby-Lervåg, Redick and Hulme, 2016, Perspectives on Psychological Science
