For teachers

Maths homework that children actually want to do, with nothing to set up and nothing to mark.

Why maths.life?

Homework, and maths homework in particular, can be a burden for teachers, parents and children. It is hard to organise and monitor, and easily misunderstood. Too often it becomes an invasive chore rather than a way to build good learning habits.

Maths.life takes a different approach. Each activity is a short game, puzzle or investigation that families can do together, using things they already have at home: paper, a pencil, a pack of cards, some dice, a few coins.

What you get

  • Nothing to set up. There are no accounts, invite codes or passwords. Share a link and you're done.
  • Matched to the curriculum. Every activity is written for a specific year group and topic.
  • Real maths talk. Each activity ends with a prompt to share what children found out, so they come back to class with something to say.
  • No homework books, no forgotten bits of paper, no marking.
  • Print-friendly. Every activity page has a print button that gives a clean one-page version.
  • Free, always.

Using it in school

  1. Browse by year group or topic and pick an activity.
  2. Share the link with families (newsletter, class page or message), or print the page.
  3. Ask children to tell the class what they discovered. A drawing, a photo or a few sentences is plenty.
