Math facts. Ready when you need them.
Know the facts cold. Make room for
harder math.
The app asks. Your child answers out loud, or types. About five minutes of focused practice, built around the facts that still need to stick.

A little practice, out loud
7 × 8 = 56
The app asks: “What is seven times eight?”
Your child says: “Fifty-six.”

A note from Hank
Why I’m building Math on Cue
A short walk through the problem, the practice, and what I want families to get from it.
Video coming soon. Until it’s recorded, you can read Hank’s draft script below.

Your child may know how to work out seven times eight. But do they know it cold?
There’s a difference between being able to get an answer and having that answer ready when you need it. When basic facts still take effort, a harder problem can feel like several problems at once.
That’s the idea behind Math on Cue. I’m Hank, and I’m building it through Aithnography to make focused math-fact practice easier for families.
The app asks a question aloud. Your child says the answer. Practice comes back to the facts that need another visit, in short sessions across the four operations.
And this isn’t only a conversation for the youngest students. A learner who says, “I’m past math facts,” may still benefit from finding out which answers come easily and which take work.
We’re keeping it simple: a parent account, private nickname profiles for the children, and progress the parent can see.
If that sounds useful for your family, take a look at the practice preview below.
Beyond “I already know this.”
Knowing how to work it out and recalling it fluently are different skills. Practice the facts that still slow you down.
A few minutes, well spent.
Short, adaptive sessions across addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Progress you can see.
Give each child their own practice. See what’s becoming fluent and what needs another visit.
Start where your child is.
What it’s built on
Well-studied practices, honestly described.
Quick recall is one part of math.
Knowing a fact cold means the answer is there right away, without working it out. People who write guidance for schools treat fast, accurate recall as one important part of math, alongside understanding and problem solving.
Short and regular.
School practice guides recommend short, regular fact practice: a few minutes a session, not long drills.
Answering from memory.
Answering from memory, rather than re-reading, is one of the best-supported study practices in learning research. Math on Cue has your child answer from memory, and brings back the facts that need another visit.
Most of this research comes from school programs for students who find math hard, not from practice at home. Math on Cue’s own results haven’t been measured yet, so we don’t claim any.
