Four years, four worlds

One comic adventure per school year

Each year of KS2 maths is a complete story with its own heroes, its own villain and its own art style. Your child doesn’t do revision — they find out what happens next.

Year 3

The Great Pie Festival

A woodland comic about the biggest bake-off of the year. Place value, times tables and first fractions — one pie at a time.

Year 4

The Soggy Biscuit Detective Agency

Marlowe Pickle, the city’s dampest detective, needs a sharp-eyed partner. Crack cases with column methods, area, angles and time.

Year 5

S.U.M.S.

The after-school maths club that isn’t. Decimals, percentages and fractions become spy missions, drawn in ink-and-shadow manga.

Year 6

The Crystal Core

A quest across Numeria to restart the crystal that powers everything. Ratio, algebra and long division stand in the way.

How it works

Play on their side. Proof on yours.

Step 1

They play the story

Every topic is a mission inside their year’s world — not a worksheet with a cartoon stapled on. They read, laugh, and solve to move the story forward.

Step 2

Every answer counts

Each question is checked in the moment. A wrong answer becomes another go, not a red cross — and every attempt is quietly recorded.

Step 3

They prove it at the gates

Boss gates cap each block of topics. Passing one is real evidence the skill has stuck — and it lands on your report the same minute.

See the gaps, not just a score

Every answer streams into your Parent HQ dashboard as it happens. Topics turn green as they’re mastered — and when your child is stuck, you get a plain-English flag telling you exactly what to practise at the kitchen table.

Built for the summer holidays

Six weeks is enough — if you can see what to fix

Mathique is made for the long break: short daily missions, a story worth coming back for, and a report that turns “how’s the maths going?” into an answer.

Week 1

Play reveals the gaps

The first missions quietly re-cover last year’s ground. Anything shaky shows up on your dashboard from day one — no test, no pressure.

Weeks 2–5

Fifteen minutes a day

Missions are short enough to fit between the beach and tea. Coins and cliffhangers bring them back without being asked.

September

Walk in confident

By the first bell they’ve closed the gaps at their own pace — and you have the report to show for it.
