Finding your way around the app

The tabs along the bottom of your screens and your child's, and what is under Explore.

Kākā Math has two sets of screens: yours, for running the family account, and your child’s, for learning. Each has a row of tabs along the bottom. The tabs are the same on iPhone, iPad and Android.

Your screens

Tab What is there
Home A card for each child with their Feathers, Altitude and streak, Switch to Child, Share Link and Add Child. Tap a child for their page. See Following your child’s progress.
Wishes The rewards your children can trade Feathers for, and their requests. See Wishes.
Scan Cheeky Check, run for one of your children. See Checking homework as a parent.
Leaderboard Family and Flocks. See Leaderboards and flocks.
Profile Your details, settings, the family PIN, other adults, signing out. See Settings and your profile.

If you learn alongside your child on a weekly plan, your own learning has a Your learning card on Home.

Your child’s screens

You get here with Switch to Child, or your child signs in on their own device (see Getting your child signed in).
