Gentle math practice for ages 7–9

Meet Kaira, a friendly Samoyed who keeps your child company during math practice. Kaira: Math is a calm, ad-free arithmetic app built on what cognitive science actually says about how kids learn math — not on points, streaks, or pressure.

Most kids' math apps use coins, scores, and leaderboards to keep children engaged. Research on child motivation shows these rewards can actually reduce a child's interest in learning over time. Kaira: Math takes a different path. Children progress by building real skill, one step at a time, with Kaira by their side.
Your child chooses a skill to practice and how many problems to solve: 5, 10, or 15. Each skill has two phases:
New skills unlock automatically as earlier ones are mastered. No skill is ever forced, no skill is ever skipped.
25 carefully sequenced addition and subtraction skills, from single-digit facts through three-digit problems with carrying and borrowing. The progression is built on evidence-based strategies like "making tens" and decomposition — the same techniques great teachers use.
Behind a PIN, parents get a dashboard that shows what really matters: which skills your child is working on, where they are stuck, and what kind of mistakes they are making. Not just "73% correct" but "most errors are forgotten carries" — with specific suggestions for how to help at home.
Designed for children in roughly 2nd through 4th grade who are working on double-digit addition, subtraction, carrying, and borrowing. Kaira: Math is not a replacement for school math — it is a calm, private place to build fluency and confidence between lessons.
The app is available in English and Dutch.
