Maths practice that tells you exactly what to fix

Questions are generated fresh every single time, graded to Years 1–10 of the NZ Curriculum. Marked instantly, with the working shown on every miss — then a breakdown of the facts to go back to.

Which tables?

How many?

“Every fact, once” is the complete tables test — each pair in the range exactly one time (0–10 gives 66 questions, 2–9 gives 36).

How long?

Nothing is saved to our servers — not the name, not the score. Everything happens in this browser.

Why this one is different

It teaches on the miss

Get one wrong and you see the method, not just a red cross. That single line is the difference between practice and testing.

It names the gap

The result screen lists the exact facts that fell over, and rebuilds a second round from only those — plus fresh ones, so you know it stuck rather than got memorised.

It prints properly

Any set becomes a worksheet with a matching answer key on page two. Every sheet carries a test code so the identical test can be run online later.

Practise by year level

Each year draws on the strands a New Zealand student should be meeting that year. Not sure which level fits? The free placement test will tell you.

Questions parents ask

Is it really free?

Yes — no account, no email, no ads, no paywall. We run it because some families who use it go on to enrol. That is the entire business case, and we would rather say it plainly than pretend otherwise.

Do you store my child's name or score?

No. There is no database behind this page. The certificate carries its own data inside the link itself, which is why it works without an account and why there is nothing of yours for us to lose.

Where do the questions come from?

They are generated in your browser, fresh each run, from templates written against Years 1–10 of the New Zealand Curriculum. No two sessions are identical, so nothing can be memorised.

Can a teacher use this with a class?

Yes, and no sign-up is needed for any of it. Print the worksheet with its answer key, or have students run the same test code on screen. Certificates print one to a page.

How is this different from your placement test?

Practice versus diagnosis. This page drills specific facts and can be repeated daily. The placement test runs once and recommends a starting year level and a learning plan.

When practice is not the problem

Drilling fixes fluency. It does not fix a gap three years further back, and it does not fix a child who has decided they are bad at maths. That is what a tutor in the room is for — we run a Study Hub in Avondale for Years 1–13, and the first assessment is free.
