About this app

Math Before Beddy is parent-led math practice for kids, made for adult parents and caregivers to use at bedtime. You operate the app, read a short true story aloud, ask one math question at your child's level, and talk it through together. No worksheets, no lesson prep, and you don't need to be a "math person."

BACKED BY RESEARCH

In a randomized study of 587 first graders published in Science, children who regularly did short math stories with a parent finished the school year nearly 3 months ahead in math. Children whose parents felt anxious about math gained the most.¹ Math Before Beddy is built on the same idea: a short story, one question, and you beside them.

HOW IT WORKS

• Read tonight's story. A new true story arrives every day and takes about a minute to read aloud.
• Ask one question. Each story comes with a question for every level from Pre-K through Grade 5, so brothers and sisters can share the story and each answer their own question.
• Get help when you need it. Open a hint, then the answer and a short explanation of why it works. Parent tips suggest what to say and how to keep things calm.
• Finish on a good note. Mark the evening done, say goodnight, and watch the week fill with stars.

WHAT YOUR CHILD PRACTICES

Questions follow a grade-by-grade skill plan: counting and patterns, place value, addition and subtraction, multiplication and division, fractions and decimals, time and money, measurement, shapes and angles, and reading data. Pick the level that fits your child and change it whenever school work moves on. Math Before Beddy is extra practice alongside school, not a replacement for it.

MADE FOR REAL FAMILIES

• Seven levels, Pre-K through Grade 5
• A profile for each child, with their own age and math level
• A library of past stories to revisit family favorites
• Optional bedtime reminders on the days you choose
• Dark and light themes
