Problem
Primary school teachers often struggle to provide personalised arithmetic practice for every pupil, especially when managing diverse learning needs and limited time. Manual tracking of pupil progress across multiple maths strands is time-consuming and prone to gaps, making it difficult to identify misconceptions early or demonstrate impact during inspections.
Solution
Maths Zoo provides an adaptive arithmetic practice platform where pupils answer tailored questions in class, at home, or on the go, earning coins that they can spend with an interactive 3D Zookeeper. The system automatically adjusts question difficulty to each child's ability and learning gaps, while giving teachers live progress tracking, fluency and accuracy metrics, and automated reports by strand, question type, and individual pupil. Unlimited question variation allows teachers to create custom tests, homework, or interventions with just a few clicks. The platform is designed for seamless use by pupils with SEND and non-SEND alike, with accessibility features for vision, dyslexic, and hearing impairments, plus an engaging reward system that supports focus and motivation.
Target Audience
Primary school teachers and maths coordinators who need efficient, inclusive arithmetic practice tools, as well as schools seeking to boost home engagement and demonstrate pupil progress to inspectors.
