Frequently Asked Questions

Kākā Math covers the full New Zealand Mathematics curriculum from Year 1 through to Year 13 (NCEA Level 3). Each year level has a personalised set of topics and lessons.
Kākā Math is currently available for iOS devices (iPhone and iPad) running iOS 15.0 or later. An Android version is in development. The parent dashboard can be accessed from any web browser.
Cheeky Check is a feature that lets students snap a photo of their handwritten maths work. The AI analyses their working and provides personalised Socratic hints to help them understand where they went wrong and how to improve -- without just giving away the answer.
You can add multiple children to a single parent account. Each child gets their own personalised curriculum based on their year level, and their progress is tracked independently.
Feathers are the in-app currency students earn by completing lessons, maintaining streaks, and hitting milestones. They can be spent in The Summit rewards shop on rewards set by parents. Altitude is a progression system that tracks overall mastery -- like climbing a mountain from base camp to summit.
No. Kākā Math uses a Socratic approach -- it provides progressive hints that guide students towards discovering the answer themselves. This builds genuine understanding and problem-solving skills.
Yes. Kākā Math is built specifically for New Zealand students. Every lesson, question, and learning pathway is aligned to the 2026 NZ Mathematics and Statistics curriculum, covering all six strands: Number, Algebra, Measurement, Geometry, Statistics, and Probability.
Yes. Kākā Math requires an active internet connection to load lessons, use Cheeky Check, access AI-powered hints, and sync your child's progress. A standard home Wi-Fi connection is all you need.

Kākā Math includes three mini-games that make maths practice fun while earning Feathers:

  • Times Table Challenge -- Pick which times tables to practise (1-12), then answer endless timed questions with 3 lives. The timer gets faster as you go, and answers can be typed or spoken aloud.
  • Kākā Munchers -- Navigate the Kākā across a grid and munch the multiples of a target number across 5 rounds. A stoat enemy appears from round 2, getting faster each round.
  • Connect the Dots -- Solve maths questions and tap the correct answer dot to connect them and reveal a mystery shape. Choose from Easy, Medium, or Hard difficulty, and watch out for decoy dots.

All three games award Feathers, with harder settings earning bigger rewards.

Yes. Students can spend their Feathers in The Summit shop on avatar costumes and colour themes (which also change the app icon). Parents can also create custom real-world rewards that children can purchase with their Feathers -- you choose the reward and the cost.
