How Kākā Math helps your child

A curriculum, a tutor and a reason to keep going, in one app.

NZ Curriculum Aligned

Every lesson is built from the New Zealand Mathematics curriculum for your child's year level, Year 1 through to NCEA Level 3.

Hints, Not Answers

When your child gets stuck, Kākā guides them with progressive hints rather than just giving the answer.

Cheeky Check

Your child snaps a photo of their homework and gets feedback on their working, not just the answer.

Earn Feathers

Kids earn Feathers for completing lessons and can trade them for Wishes you set, which is motivation they actually care about.

Track Progress

See exactly how your child is progressing: lessons completed, accuracy, streaks, and areas that need attention.

Personalised Learning

AI generates a personalised syllabus for your child's year level, adapting as they learn and grow.

Mini Games

Three fun mini-games: Times Table Challenge for multiplication fluency, Kākā Munchers for finding multiples on a grid, and Connect the Dots for solving questions to reveal shapes.

Customise & Collect

Your child can personalise their Kākā with avatar costumes and app colour themes, plus earn badges for milestones along the way.

Your Parent Dashboard

Stay connected to your child's maths journey without looking over their shoulder. The parent dashboard gives you the insights you need to support them effectively.

Real-Time Progress

See lessons completed, accuracy rates, topics mastered, and compare this week against last week at a glance.

Problem Questions & Trouble Spots

See exactly which questions your child is struggling with, including times table trouble spots with accuracy per fact (e.g. "7 x 8 at 40% accuracy").

Wishes

Set real-world Wishes your child can trade their Feathers for. You choose what's on the list and what it costs, and you grant each one.

Weekly Progress Emails

Receive a weekly email summary of your child's learning activity, so you're always in the loop without needing to open the app.

Family Accounts

Add multiple children, each with their own curriculum and progress. Invite another adult (partner or co-parent) to share access.

Mia's learning summary: 10 lessons done, 120 questions, 100% accuracy, best streak 11, 1h 54m spent and 15 badges, then this week versus last week and topic-by-topic progress.
One child in detail: accuracy, time spent, and this week against last.

Built for Family Life

Whether your child has their own device or shares yours, Kākā Math is designed to fit how your family actually works.

  • Family PIN

    Set a 4-digit PIN to protect the parent area when sharing a device with your child

  • Magic Link Sign-In

    Send your child a magic link to sign in on their own device, no password needed

  • Switch to Child View

    See exactly what your child sees by switching to their profile from the parent dashboard

  • Session Management

    See which devices your child is signed into and revoke access if needed

  • Sign in with Apple

    Quick and secure sign-up using your Apple ID, or use email and password

Got a spare iPhone or iPad?

Kākā Math needs iOS 15 or later, so devices as old as an iPhone 6s (2015) or an iPad Air 2 will run it. An older phone or tablet makes a dedicated maths device for your child, with no need to buy anything new.

Getting started is easy

Your child can be learning in minutes.
