Num Drill — short for Number Drill

Math practice that gets out of the way

Adaptive arithmetic drills for grades 2–6. Seven operations, six difficulty levels each. The app tracks what your child gets wrong and quietly drills those facts more often. No login. No ads. No data leaves the device unless your child finishes a quiz.

No sign-up. No ads. No tracking.

Fast drills for kids who want a real challenge

Num Drill is built around a simple idea: short, focused practice with fast feedback beats endless worksheets. A 10-question session takes about a minute. The app doesn’t reward kids with cartoons or coins — it rewards them with visible mastery and faster times on the next run.

Built for kids working ahead

Levels are pitched 2–3 grades ahead of typical pacing. A confident 3rd grader can usually start at multiplication level 3 (full 1–12 tables) and a strong 5th grader starts at fractions level 4 (all four operations on fractions with unlike denominators). See multiplication practice and fractions practice for 4th graders for grade-specific guidance.

Start in seconds, no account required

The most common reason parents bounce off math apps is friction: create an account, verify an email, configure a child profile, fend off a paywall. Num Drill skips all of that. Tap “Try a quiz,” answer ten questions, and you’re done. If your kid wants to come back tomorrow, add a player — that data lives on your device, not on a server.

Profiles stay on your device

We use the browser’s local storage to remember which kid is playing, which facts they keep missing, and what their personal bests are. We never copy any of that to a remote server. Each kid on a shared family iPad gets their own profile pill at the top of the home screen.

Practice that adapts without becoming a game

When your child gets a multiplication fact wrong, that fact gets weighted higher in their next quiz. When they nail a level’s accuracy and speed thresholds, the app suggests trying the next one. The whole loop is built around a quiet but visible “beat your best” signal — new personal-best banners, mastery dots on each level tile, household speed records on the home screen.

Short sessions work

Five to ten minutes a day, most days, is usually more useful than one long Saturday session. Our methodology page covers the research on retrieval practice and spaced repetition that backs this. Our 10-minute multiplication routine post is a practical starting point.
