    A maths app for children aged 4 to 11

    Facts and prices checked on 26 September 2026.

    WonderPath Maths takes a child from counting objects in Reception to fractions, decimals and reasoning in Year 6, one small step at a time. It works in your browser on a phone, tablet or computer. There is a free plan with no card needed, and this page says plainly what it does and what it does not.

    What a session looks like

    1. A short lesson: an explanation with a worked example, mapped to one objective from the National Curriculum for England (the EYFS framework for Reception).
    2. A hands-on activity to try the idea.
    3. A quiz. If your child gets a question wrong they get a prompt and another go, not the answer, and the answer appears only when the quiz is over. The chat helper works the same way and declines requests for the final answer.
    4. A progress view for you, in plain words, and a weekly summary in your parent dashboard.

    Maths for each year group

    Reception (ages 4 to 5)

    • Maths: In Reception, children build early number sense through hands-on exploration.
    • English: Reception English focuses on communication and language development.
    • Reading: Reading in Reception centres on developing phonemic awareness and blending skills.
    • Science: In the EYFS, science is explored through 'Understanding the World'.
    • Phonics: Reception phonics practises what the EYFS framework expects by the end of the year: a sound for each letter, some digraphs, blending sounds to read simple words and sentences, and segmenting words to spell.
    • Computing: In Reception, children are introduced to technology as a tool for learning and creating.

    Year 1 (ages 5 to 6)

    • Maths: Year 1 maths builds confident number sense.
    • English: In Year 1, children move from early writing to composing simple sentences with basic punctuation.
    • Reading: Year 1 reading develops fluency and comprehension.
    • Science: Year 1 science introduces structured observation and classification.
    • Phonics: Year 1 phonics practises the National Curriculum expectations for Year 1: the correct sound for graphemes for all 40+ phonemes, including alternative sounds, blending to read unfamiliar words, reading words of more than one syllable, and spelling with the sounds taught.
    • Computing: In Year 1, children are introduced to computational thinking.

    Year 2 (ages 6 to 7)

    • Maths: Year 2 maths consolidates place value understanding and develops mental arithmetic.
    • English: Year 2 English develops more varied and detailed writing.
    • Reading: Year 2 reading focuses on fluency, comprehension, and response.
    • Science: Year 2 science develops investigative skills.
    • Phonics: Year 2 phonics practises the National Curriculum expectations for Year 2: decoding until it is automatic and reading is fluent, recognising alternative sounds for graphemes, reading words with common suffixes, and learning new ways of spelling sounds already known.
    • Computing: In Year 2, children build on their algorithm knowledge to create and debug more complex sequences.

    Year 3 (ages 7 to 8)

    • Maths: Year 3 maths introduces formal written methods and extends place value to three digits.
    • English: Year 3 English introduces paragraphing and more sophisticated sentence structure.
    • Reading: Year 3 reading broadens the range of texts children encounter.
    • Science: Year 3 science covers plants, rocks and soils, animals including humans (nutrition and skeletons), forces and magnets, and light.
    • Computing: In Year 3, children begin writing more purposeful programs using sequence, selection, and repetition.

    Year 4 (ages 8 to 9)

    • Maths: Year 4 is a milestone year for multiplication.
    • English: Year 4 English focuses on crafting varied and cohesive writing.
    • Reading: Year 4 reading develops deeper inference and critical thinking.
    • Science: Year 4 science covers states of matter, sound, electricity, living things and their habitats, and animals including humans (the digestive system and teeth).
    • Computing: In Year 4, children use loops and selection in their programs, making them more efficient and responsive.

    Year 5 (ages 9 to 10)

    • Maths: Year 5 maths extends place value to one million and deepens fraction work.
    • English: Year 5 English introduces relative clauses and modal verbs, enabling more nuanced and complex writing.
    • Reading: Year 5 reading develops evaluative and analytical skills.
    • Science: Year 5 science covers forces, Earth and space, properties and changes of materials, and living things.
    • Computing: In Year 5, children use variables in programs, design solutions that process inputs and produce outputs, and deepen their understanding of computer networks.

    Year 6 (ages 10 to 11)

    • Maths: Year 6 maths consolidates primary learning and prepares children for KS3.
    • English: Year 6 English prepares children for secondary school writing.
    • Reading: Year 6 reading builds the analytical skills tested in SATs.
    • Science: Year 6 science covers living things and their habitats, animals including humans (circulatory system and health), light, electricity, and evolution and inheritance.
    • Computing: In Year 6, children design multi-component programs, apply systematic debugging, and understand data transmission over the internet.

    What the free plan includes

    • One child profile.
    • Daily lessons and practice across the launch subjects.
    • The AI helper, up to 30 messages a day.
    • No card needed, and no clock counting down.

    What it is not

    • Not live teaching. There is no teacher on a call; it is self-paced.
    • Not in the App Store or Google Play yet. It runs in your browser and you can add it to your home screen, so it will not show up in app-store searches.
    • Not teacher-reviewed yet. Lessons are written by AI and teacher review is being set up, so please use them alongside your child's school work and tell us about anything wrong.
    • Not proven in a study. We have no published evidence of results yet and we will publish our own, including a null result if that is what we find.
