Before you start
None. When a child is set up, a parent chooses the starting level: the grade the child is working in now, Kindergarten through Grade 8, or Algebra I. The first lesson of that level opens at once; earlier levels stay open for review, and later lessons unlock in order as each is passed. The level can be changed any time under Settings without losing progress, and the map lists which earlier skills each level builds on.
Pace and workload
Self-paced. Every new idea goes from objects to diagrams to symbols, and each lesson ends with mixed review of earlier skills, which come back on a schedule. Choosing a level earns nothing by itself; stars and passed skills come only from lessons passed.
What you need
A computer or tablet. Sound helps young children: questions can be read aloud.
Faith in this tool
The math itself is plain math. The name comes from Psalm 90:12, “So teach us to number our days,” which opens the game.
How learning is checked
A lesson passes at 80% (8 of 10), with the reasoning shown for anything missed. Passed skills come back for review on a widening schedule, and questions are generated fresh each time. There are no timed tests and no grades. Facts and the number sense behind them are both practiced: some questions ask what 7 × 8 equals, others how it could be worked out.

A sample
Kindergarten, Lesson 1, Which number is it? A child picks the numeral that matches. A note for parents explains why there is no timer: the game never scores speed, so a child can think without a clock running.
Starting and saving progress
Press Start math and type a first name: that is all a child needs. Progress stays in this browser on this device. If a parent signs in to My Homeschool, progress is copied to the family account so it follows the child to other devices (privacy policy). During the beta, creating that account needs an invite code (request one); the tool itself needs none. Every learning tool is free while the site is in beta.
