Maths that fixes the gap, not just the topic.
When a new maths idea won’t stick, the problem is often an earlier skill. Cognitano links every maths skill to the ones it depends on, so practice starts where the real gap is.

What you can practise.
Number
Place value, operations, factors and multiples, and the number sense that later ideas lean on.
Fractions, decimals and percentages
Equivalence, comparing and ordering, and moving between forms.
Ratio and proportion
Scaling, rates and proportional relationships, one of the most connected ideas in school maths.
Representations
Moving between words, tables, equations and graphs, and reading graphs correctly.
Data and graphs
Reading charts accurately and spotting a misleading axis or scale.
Problem solving
Breaking a problem into steps and keeping track of every condition.
Built around the mistakes learners really make.
Many maths errors follow a pattern: a rule that worked once, applied where it doesn’t. Practice is designed to bring those patterns to the surface and replace them.
- “A bigger denominator means a bigger fraction.”Cognitano checks fraction comparison before moving on to ratio.
- “Add the same amount to scale a recipe.”Proportional reasoning practice shows why scaling multiplies.
- “The tallest bar changed the most.”Data skills include reading the scale, not just the shape.
