FigureFlex: Early Maths

Mike Roderick

About this app

The maths app with the gorilla that flexes.

Meet Maximus — the greatest counter in the forest. He thumps his chest, he boasts, and he regularly counts the same apple twice. Your child spots his mistakes, fixes them, and feels clever doing it. That is the trick: in FigureFlex the child is always the smart one, and Maximus is the loveable classmate who sometimes gets it right.

Built for the first years of school
70 lessons from Foundation (Kindergarten) to Year 3, covering number, algebra, measurement, space, statistics and probability: counting to 5, making 10, place value, times tables, fractions, money, time, shapes, graphs and chance.

Each lesson is short — 5 to 8 minutes — and always follows the same shape: a teaching moment, guided practice, independent practice, a quick recap, then a sticker. Short enough to finish, long enough to stick.

Made for how young children learn
• Virtual manipulatives: ten-frames, number lines and counters, not just sums on a screen
• Explicit teaching first, then practice — never a wall of questions
• A friendly voice reads the instructions aloud, so a child who cannot read yet can play alone
• Adaptive review quietly brings back earlier skills
• Stickers and stars reward effort, not speed

Aligned to real curricula
Every lesson maps to the Australian Curriculum v9.0 (ACARA) and to Uganda's NCDC lower-primary competences. The progress report can show either mapping, so what your child practises matches what they are taught at school.

Free, offline and private
• No ads, no in-app purchases, no accounts and no sign-up
• Works completely offline — all 70 lessons live inside the app, so no data is needed
• Collects no data at all: progress stays on your device
• Two children can share one device, each with their own profile
• Parent gate on the report, sticker book and options

Common questions
Is it really free? Yes. No ads, no subscriptions, no locked lessons.
Does it need internet? No. It works anywhere, including classrooms with no wifi.
Can my child use it alone? Yes — the instructions are read aloud, and the grown-ups' screens sit behind a times-table gate.

For parents and teachers
The progress report shows which skills have been mastered and which need review, with the curriculum links. Teachers: use it in class, print nothing, share it freely.

FigureFlex is a gift to the world. It costs nothing, and always will.
