Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

New: a weekly Learning Plan for parents, read-aloud questions, and screen-free activities. One free adaptive math & reading quest every day. No ads. Turn math and reading practice into a short, playful learning adventure. Brainy Bucks gives kids a quick daily quest of math, reading and phonics questions, with a Brain Buddy that grows as they learn. Parents get a plain-language weekly summary and a short learning plan built from their child's real answers. One adaptive quest is free every day. No ads. No accounts. WHAT KIDS PLAY - Today's Quest: a 5, 10 or 15 minute mix of new skills, review and earlier mistakes - Boss battles, 90-second Brain Sprints and combo streaks - 15 original Brain Buddies with 5 growth stages, plus pets hatched from a Mystery Egg - A Weekly Vault opened by reaching the weekly practice goal - Every reward is earned by practicing. Nothing is sold to children. WHAT THEY PRACTICE Math: counting, place value, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, decimals, money, time, measurement, geometry, data, word problems, ratios and early algebra. Reading: phonics, rhyming, sight words, spelling patterns, vocabulary, main idea, sequencing, inference, context clues and short original passages. Content spans Pre-K to Grade 8, with the deepest coverage from Kindergarten to Grade 4. Difficulty adapts to the answers your child actually gives. MISTAKES BECOME COMEBACKS No lives lost and no red X. A wrong answer gets a clue and a second try. Missed questions come back in later quests, and skills that went well are checked again days later to see whether they were remembered.
