Many children struggle with maths, but what if practice could feel more like a game than homework? For parents looking for a way to boost their child’s confidence in maths, the Twinkl Maths App is a simple, safe, and effective tool that turns mental maths practice into fun, bite-sized games.
Why Mental Maths Matters
Strong mental maths skills are the building blocks for success in the classroom and everyday life. From adding up prices in a shop to working out time or measurements, children use these skills all the time. But for many, practising times tables or number bonds can feel repetitive and dull, which is exactly where the Twinkl Maths App makes a difference.
What Is the Twinkl Maths App?
Created by teachers, the Twinkl Maths App is designed to help children master key maths facts and build speed and accuracy through engaging, game-like challenges.
The app covers core skills such as:
- Times tables
- Addition and subtraction
- Number bonds
- Doubling and halving
- Division facts
With over 100 different game modes, your child can practise exactly what they need — whether they’re just starting out or building up speed for school tests.
How Does It Work?
Children can choose from two main modes:
- Multiplication Tables Check (MTC)
Perfect for children preparing for quick-fire multiplication tests. They answer 25 questions with six seconds to respond to each, building confidence under time pressure. - Skill Safari
This adventure-style mode takes children through colourful worlds like jungles, oceans, and icy landscapes. Along the way, they answer maths questions, earn stars, and unlock new levels — making maths feel more like play than work.
A Safe, Flexible Way to Practise
Parents can feel confident knowing the Twinkl Maths App:
- Is completely ad-free, so there are no distractions or pop-ups.
- Works offline, making it ideal for car trips, waiting rooms, or places with no Wi-Fi.
- Lets you track your child’s progress through clear dashboards and heat maps, so you can see exactly where they’re improving or where they might need extra help.
Why Parents Love It
Parents often say the Twinkl Maths App keeps their children focused, happy, and motivated. Because the app feels like a game, children are more likely to spend extra time practising — and they often don’t even notice how much they’re learning while they play.
“It’s super engaging and easy to use — no interruptions, and you can even use it without Wi-Fi.” — Parent review

Our story:
The idea for Twinkl came to Jonathan and Susie Seaton when Susie was working as an Early Years teacher and couldn’t find the materials she needed for her lessons online. As a result, Susie was working evenings and weekends to make resources from scratch.
Speaking to colleagues and friends, the couple found that Susie was not alone in her situation. So, to help other teachers, they began creating and publishing educational resources online from their spare bedroom.
The business grew quickly and organically as educators embraced the high-quality materials. The team grew quickly too, with current and former teachers, as well as experts in content and design soon joining Jonathan and Susie in their mission 'to help those who teach.'
Jonathan and Susie are delighted that Twinkl is now taking this mission across the world, returning time and energy to educators that is better spent in the classroom with their pupils or on themselves at home.
