EBA Skills
Help them feel capable enough to keep going.
Twenty short, connected skills that build fluency, judgement and logical thinking. Each challenge gives them something they can finish, improve and feel more certain about the next time.
Speed & calculation
Speed Maths
Outcome
Make familiar calculations feel easier.
Build the fluency to answer without stopping to reconstruct every basic calculation from the beginning.
Speed & calculation
Missing Number Rush
Outcome
See the relationship, not just the blank.
Help them understand how addition, subtraction, multiplication and division connect when part of the calculation is missing.
Speed & calculation
Operation Dash
Outcome
Know which operation the question needs.
Practise recognising whether the numbers should be added, subtracted, multiplied or divided instead of choosing by habit.
Speed & calculation
Target Total
Outcome
Find more than one way through a problem.
Build flexible thinking by combining numbers and operations to reach a clear target.
Speed & calculation
Calculation Chain
Outcome
Hold onto the thinking from one step to the next.
Strengthen calculation and working memory by carrying a result through a connected sequence.
Check & verify
Maths Referee
Outcome
Spot mistakes before accepting them.
Help them inspect equations and become more willing to question an answer that does not make sense.
Check & verify
X Check
Outcome
Make early algebra feel less unfamiliar.
Practise testing a value and seeing whether it makes an equation true.
Check & verify
Pattern Check
Outcome
Recognise the rule behind what they see.
Help them notice how a sequence changes and decide whether the next item genuinely belongs.
Check & verify
Estimate Check
Outcome
Know when an answer looks wrong.
Build the number sense to judge whether a result is sensible before accepting it.
Check & verify
Method Check
Outcome
Understand where the working went wrong.
Help them inspect a method, locate the mistake and see how one incorrect step affects everything afterwards.
Number properties
Prime Path
Outcome
Recognise prime numbers without guessing.
Turn prime-number knowledge into something they can identify and use confidently.
Number properties
Factor Finder
Outcome
See how numbers fit together.
Build familiarity with factor pairs so division, fractions and later number work feel less disconnected.
Number properties
Multiple Hunt
Outcome
Make times-table knowledge easier to recognise.
Help them spot multiples even when they are mixed among numbers designed to look almost right.
Number properties
Number Sort
Outcome
Know why a number belongs.
Practise organising numbers by their properties instead of treating every number as an isolated fact.
Number properties
Odd One Out
Outcome
Explain what makes one answer different.
Build the habit of comparing properties, finding the rule and justifying the choice.
Logic & deduction
Animal Detective
Outcome
Trust the conclusion the clues lead to.
Use information carefully, remove impossible options and stay with the reasoning until one answer remains.
Logic & deduction
Number Detective
Outcome
Turn number facts into useful clues.
Combine properties such as odd, even, greater than, prime and multiple to identify a hidden number.
Logic & deduction
Shape Detective
Outcome
Recognise shapes by what makes them different.
Use sides, angles, symmetry and other properties to identify the correct shape with greater certainty.
Logic & deduction
Logic Grid Junior
Outcome
Keep track of several clues at once.
Build organised reasoning by connecting information and ruling out combinations that cannot be true.
Logic & deduction
Higher or Lower Hunt
Outcome
Make every guess more informed than the last.
Practise narrowing a range, learning from feedback and choosing the next move deliberately.
