About Daily Maths Challenge
A few minutes of mixed practice every day is one of the best ways to keep maths facts fresh. Because the challenge mixes different skills, children practise choosing the right strategy, not just repeating one kind of question.
Streaks and shareable results make it a fun daily habit. Try it at breakfast, in the car or as a quick warm-up at the start of a lesson: teachers can project it and let the whole class answer together.
