How the lessons work
Each lesson offers a worked example, a hint and a chance to try independently. In a counting lesson, that might mean giving each shell a tick when a child taps it. The child can see which shells they’ve counted and decide what to do next.
Meet Deepak Chauhan, founder and creator
I’m Deepak, a Sydney dad with a background in technology and community education. I created this app for a familiar moment at the kitchen table. Your child is stuck on a maths question, and you want to give them just enough help to take the next step themselves.
That’s the idea behind Practise with Bee. A child can hear a question read aloud, work it out with a picture, and ask for a hint. My favourite button is the one they can choose afterwards: “Try one on my own.”
At home or in the classroom
A kindergartener might tap shells and count them aloud. A Year 6 learner might work out the sale price of a footy. Families can explore sample lessons from Kindergarten to Year 6 and switch years whenever they like.
The Weekly Maths Challenge gives each year its own story problems. Try them on screen, or print a worksheet so children can draw their thinking and talk it through. Parents and teachers can open the worked answers separately.
The pilot is free. Year labels guide practice. A teacher review of NSW curriculum mapping and age suitability is still pending.
“The question I’d use again is the one about three teams needing three flags each. Asking “Can you draw that?” gives me a way to see how a child arrived at nine.”
Illustrative example · Parent
“The hint button is the bit I appreciate as a parent. When my child asks, “Is this right?”, we can look at the hint together and I can give them a moment to work it out.”
Illustrative example · Teacher
“I like having the worksheet and the worked answers on separate pages. I can give two children the same problem, let them compare their drawings, and bring out the explanation afterwards.”
Illustrative example · Parent
“I like being able to print the weekly challenge. We can do one question at the kitchen table, leave the sheet on the fridge and come back to the next one another day.”
Illustrative example · Teacher
“A fraction strip gives us something to point to. I can ask, “Where does one half end?” and let the child show me.”
Illustrative example · Parent
“I like the read-aloud button for a word problem. We can listen together and talk about what the question is asking.”
Illustrative example · Teacher
“I’d use the footy discount question with Year 6. The interesting part is hearing how each child works out a quarter of the price.”
Illustrative example · Parent
“Choosing a school year makes it easy to give each of my kids a different question on the same iPad.”
Illustrative example · Teacher
“The shell activity gives younger children a little job for each number they say. Tap a shell, say a number, then find the next shell.”
Illustrative example · Parent
““Try one on my own” is the moment I’d hand the phone back. My child gets the next turn after we work through an example together.”
