Mental Maths for primary schools
Maths is a life skill. The calculation foundation is laid in primary school.
Mental Maths gives every pupil a ten-minute round of calculation practice, from number bonds to fractions, decimals and negative numbers. Every answer is marked as it is given, so there is nothing for teachers to mark and no results to enter, and the questions a pupil missed are saved so they can look at them again.

How Halomath uses AI
Questions, marking and what comes next are decided by logic we can explain, not by generative AI. AI drafts only two things: the monthly summary for families, which is checked automatically before it appears, and, coming later, an end-of-term summary that teachers review and edit before it is used. Pupils never see AI-written text in a school account.
