"I am a huge fan of Thinkster Math having used it for several years. The topics are covered thoroughly, ensuring that my children really understand the concepts and have ample opportunities to practice.
If your child is particularly interested in a
certain area of maths, or if you want your child to focus on one topic for a while to support them with their maths at school, then their tutor will accommodate that.
Both my children were recently moved into higher ability maths groups at school due to their regular (daily) practice on Thinkster. The app has improved not only their understanding of maths, but also their general confidence in tackling and solving new problems.
Thinkster Math is not a game, and there will be times your child won't want to do it. But I treat it as a normal part of their homework schedule, and we set our own targets and reward scheme at home to motivate them.
The tutor my children have is very responsive to their progress and adapts their curriculum effectively. We're in touch regularly via email so I can give feedback on where my children are struggling and need extra practice. I also receive weekly reports on how much they are using Thinkster Math.
My only criticism is that the system can be glitchy at times (both the Thinkster Math app and the Parent support app). But you can contact the tech support team directly and problems are resolved relatively quickly.
Overall I highly recommend Thinkster Math if you're looking for a maths app which is easy to use, motivating, visual and interactive, adapts to your child's abilities automatically, and will most definitely improve their understanding of and enthusiasm for maths."
