Why this exists
Built by a parent who needed it to exist.
MapMyMath started with one child: my son, practising for ICAS. Every app we tried had the same three problems. Too little material, so practice quickly became boring repetition. No real thought given to motivation, so he stopped wanting to open them. And subscription prices that made no sense for what they were.
So I built the app I couldn't find. It's completely free: there is no monetisation, and none is planned. I mined olympiad textbooks and maths teaching materials into a question bank that generates fresh, curated questions instead of recycling a fixed set. And every interaction the child has with the app is grounded in three things:
Real game design
The motivation loop is built on the Octalysis framework, the same design discipline behind games children genuinely love, applied to practice.
Fun
If it isn't fun, children won't come back, and practice that doesn't happen teaches nothing.
What makes it different
A serious maths engine, wrapped in a world children want to explore.
Fresh practice
Questions are generated from tested patterns, not a fixed worksheet bank and not AI improvisation. The numbers and stories change; the maths underneath doesn't.
How questions workMeasured progress
Difficulty adapts inside each skill, and mastery is only awarded once there's enough evidence. One lucky streak doesn't count.
How progress is measuredAdvanced stretch
Children ready for more get multi-step reasoning, visual problems and olympiad-style puzzles sized for primary years.
Advanced maths practiceBuilt from the good books
Question families are drawn from olympiad textbooks, mental-maths tricks collections and the Australian Curriculum, and reviewed by a qualified academic before they ship. The engine then produces endless variations, each one checked, deterministic and testable.
Rewards that support the maths
There are coins, chests, passports and cosmetics, but stars, unlocks and progress only ever come from doing the maths. Nothing that matters can be bought, and nobody is ranked against anybody.

Pass it on
Help the next child find it.
MapMyMath is free and has no marketing, so children only find it when someone who cares passes it along. A share helps one family. An introduction to a school, a maths association or a grant program can reach hundreds.
