KS2 SATs maths at your own pace.

No timers

Practice is untimed. Children think things through instead of racing a clock.

Everything read aloud

Nova reads every question, highlighting each word as it goes.

Dyslexia-friendly

Clear fonts, coloured pages, extra spacing and a reading ruler, chosen by your child.

Private by design

No ads, no sign-up, no tracking. Progress stays on your child’s device.

WHY STEADY SUMS EXISTS

Built by a dad, for his daughter

My daughter is dyslexic and in Year 6, getting ready for her KS2 SATs. She has extra time in her tests, yet so much maths practice is built around beating the clock.

I wanted something calmer for her: questions read aloud, writing she can see clearly, and help that explains a method step by step rather than just marking an answer. So I built Steady Sums with her in mind.

Now I’m sharing it, so other families can use it too.

A setup made for them

Instead of asking about diagnoses, Steady Sums shows choices: which writing is easiest, which page colour, how fast Nova should talk. It takes about 10 minutes.

Calm practice with real help

Short rounds with no clock. Stuck? Break it down splits a word problem into steps, and method cards show written methods one step at a time.

Progress you can share

Grown-ups see what’s improving and what to practise next, and can share a one-page Learning Passport with school.

Dyslexia-friendly from the first tap

Every option is shown, not described, so children pick what genuinely feels easier. Everything can be changed later with one button.

Times Quest

Times tables and division facts up to 12 × 12.

Arithmetic World

Place value and the four operations, including long multiplication and division.

Fraction Forest

Fractions, decimals and percentages.

Reasoning Reef

Word problems, solved one step at a time.

Measure Mountains

Measurement, money, time and reading scales.

Shape Shore

Geometry: shapes, angles, coordinates and position.

Data Desert

Tables, charts, graphs and averages.

SATs-style papers

Three practice papers in the KS2 format: arithmetic and two reasoning papers, with extra time if your child has it.

For parents and carers

A PIN-protected Grown-ups area keeps the controls with you.

• Matches their test arrangements. Extra time, a reader and rest breaks carry through to the practice papers.
• Learning Passport. A one-page summary of how your child likes to learn, ready to share with their teacher. No scores, no diagnosis.
• What we’ve noticed. Plain-English notes on progress, the help they use, and how practice is feeling.
• Year 5 or Year 6. Year 6 shows a gentle SATs countdown. Year 5 gets the same practice without it.

Nothing leaves the phone

There are no accounts, no ads and no tracking. Your child’s progress is stored only on their device, and works without internet. If you change phones, you save a backup file yourself, and it stays with you.
