Weekly report
This week: Fractions, 3/5.
The recurring gap: adding fractions with different denominators.
Next practice focuses on this.
You:
Thanks. We'll go through common denominators together tonight.
After you register
A few setup questions
Once you've verified by OTP, you add your child's class, board, subject and exam pattern. That's what the practice is built around.
Next
The free diagnostic
A short adaptive test that finds your child's starting point. Your child can take it whenever they're ready.
During the month
Tests, in the chat
Each test is either a short topic test or a full board-pattern test. Wrong answers are looked at for the misunderstanding behind them.
Every week
Your weekly report
A plain-language summary: the topic, how it went, the recurring gap a wrong answer suggests, and what the next practice focuses on.
How much time does it take?
The diagnostic is short, and your child picks the size of each test after that.
The diagnostic is short
A short adaptive test that finds your child's starting point.
A short topic test
One topic at a time, for a busy school day.
A full board-pattern test
Closer to a real paper. Useful nearer exams.
On the monthly plan: 8 tests a month — choose a short topic test or a full board-pattern test each time. Your part is reading one short report a week.
What the weekly report shows — and what it can’t
Weekly report
Topic this week
Fractions
3/5 correct
The recurring gap
Adding fractions with different denominators.
Seen in working like (1 + 1)/(2 + 3), which suggests the tops and the bottoms are being added separately.
Next practice
Practise rewriting fractions over a common denominator before adding, with a few questions that check the denominator each time.

What happens after you click
Nothing is charged and nothing is sent without you. Four steps, all in one chat.
Step 1: WhatsApp opens
With a short message ready to send. You can read and edit it before sending.
Step 2: Verify by OTP
On your own WhatsApp number. As the parent or guardian, you're the account holder.
Step 3: Add your child's details
Class, board, subject and exam pattern — so practice matches what they study.
Step 4: Free diagnostic
A short adaptive test that finds your child's starting point.
Your part: talk it through, not keep watch.
The report gives you one specific thing to talk about each week. A short, curious conversation about a single idea is often more helpful than checking scores.
Mistakes are expected here — they’re how the next practice gets chosen. Treating them as normal makes it easier for your child to keep trying.
Try asking
Instead of
Try asking: “Which question this week felt hardest?”
Instead of: “Why did you only get 3 out of 5?”
Try asking: “Can you show me how you'd do this one now?”
Instead of: “You should have known this.”
Try asking: “Why can’t you just add the bottom numbers of two fractions?”
Instead of: “Did you even practise?”

No. It's a practice and diagnostic tool, not a substitute for classroom teaching. Results depend on your child's own engagement, as with any tool.
