About this app

1-Minute Maths is a free app that helps children build number confidence & fluency through engaging, 1-minute tasks.

An accessible tool for children to enjoy at home or in class!

Developed by White Rose Maths, award-winning providers in maths resources for the classroom and home, it delivers targeted practice in short, bite-sized chunks, perfect for learning and showing children how much fun they can have with basic number.

Who is it for?

The app is perfect for primary school pupils, individual one-minute tasks focus on adding and subtracting, multiplying and dividing – and on ‘Subitising’, the skill of instantly recognising the number of items in a group without counting.

How does it work?

Each task gives children engaging and targeted practice in basic number. The app includes a range of topics, with no specific starting point, so a child can begin wherever they like. By applying randomly generated questions every time, users learn the concept and not a sequence of answers. Once a task completes, questions are marked and presented on the screen, giving instant feedback on how they’ve done. It’s quick, simple to use, and most of all, FUN!

Ratings and reviews

Its a great app for young ones. I think "gameifying" it a little more might motivate kids more. For example, subitising, adding scores for getting them right and perhaps taking away scores for getting it wrong. Also allowing creation of profiles so that different age groups can use the same app. All in all a great start. Love it.

The app is a useful and engaging way for children to practice mental maths but it would be so much better if it could be configured to show only certain levels/activities as my son will always choose the easiest options. It would also be useful to have the option to display a countdown.

Pretty good and child friendly but then agian can be pretty annoying when it suddenly stops working and you can't type the answer my children loved it at first but then it didn't let them type the answer once this kept happening I just deleted it as I didn't really work . To be honest I would give it a 2 out of 5
