The 5-Minute Maths Check
The free five-minute check shows the weakest-scoring area in the snapshot. Then, during the 7-day trial, the full EBA Maths Check maps each maths family separately so the right practice starts in the right place.
The first check gives a quick answer. The full check goes deeper, so EBA can start each part of maths at the right stage.
Built to answer one question quickly: which area produced the weakest result in this short snapshot?
Completed during the trial. This is where EBA maps the different parts of maths separately and sets a starting stage for each one.
The point is not a long report. The point is a useful first direction.
Enough evidence for EBA to point to the weakest-scoring area in the snapshot.
The parent sees where it makes sense to look first instead of guessing which topic is really dragging things down.
The next step is obvious: the full check during the trial, then the first recommended sprint.
A child can look “mostly fine” in maths while one weaker area keeps slowing everything around it. Without a check, it is easy to keep practising the visible topic rather than the actual bottleneck underneath it.
A child may be secure in one area, shaky in another and missing an earlier foundation in a third. One overall score hides that. The full check does not.
That is what lets EBA recommend different starting stages for different maths families, so practice is not wasted on the wrong level.
The check matters because it changes what EBA does next.
The five-minute snapshot shows the weakest-scoring area. The full check then maps each family more carefully.
EBA uses the starting stage to choose the first recommended sprint, rather than leaving the parent to guess where to begin.
Scores and accuracy decide what stays in practice and what becomes ready to move forward.
Some EBA students recorded three times their first-sprint score by their fifth 30-second round.
Five rounds contain 2.5 minutes of timed practice.
It keeps practice pointed at the right weakness, gets the child to an appropriate starting stage faster and gives stronger parts of maths room to keep moving.
The parent gets a clearer answer about where to start instead of picking a topic based on whichever homework felt hardest last night.
EBA can begin with a sprint that fits the child’s current stage instead of using one broad starting point for everything.
When weaker foundations are found earlier, harder maths has a better chance of becoming reachable later.
No. It gives a quick snapshot and shows the weakest-scoring area in that snapshot. The full family-by-family placement happens during the trial.
Because a child can be strong in one area and weaker in another. One number can hide the real pattern.
EBA uses the starting stage in each family to recommend the first sprint and then lets results decide what moves next.
It gives a clearer first direction, reduces guesswork and turns “where do we begin?” into a more concrete next step.
Complete the five-minute snapshot, see the weakest-scoring area and let EBA turn that into the first practice decision.
