Basic 1 – Basic 6 · Nigerian, British & American

Five minutes a day, and they ask to do it again.

Brainy turns curriculum practice into a short daily game. Maths, Quantitative and Verbal Reasoning and English Grammar — matched to your child's class, adapting as they improve.

Nothing to install. No account, no email, no ads. Works offline.

How it works

Set it up once, hand over the tablet, and check the report when you want to.

You set it up

Enter their first name and age. Brainy works out the class — a 7-year-old is Basic 3 here, Year 3 in Britain, Grade 2 in America — and you can change it.

They play

Ten questions, about five minutes. They earn coins, keep a streak, and collect characters and pets. There are no lives to lose and no way to fail.

You see what to help with

The grown-up area shows what is going well, what is not, the actual questions they got wrong, and one practical thing to try away from the screen.

Built on the Nigerian curriculum

Naira and kobo, Roman numerals, common-entrance reasoning puzzles — the things international apps leave out. British and American curricula are built in too, and switching keeps both children's progress.

The grown-up progress report showing class readiness and topics to help with

A report that tells you what to do

Not a wall of numbers. The three things worth acting on, in under a minute.

  • Class readiness. How much of their own year they have actually mastered.
  • What is slipping. Skills they had, then stopped practising.
  • The real questions they missed, with what they answered.
  • One thing to try at home for each weak topic — away from the screen.
  • Retention, measured properly: did it stick when it came back a week later?

Designed for how children actually behave

Every one of these is a deliberate decision, not an oversight.

💚

No way to fail

No lives, no lock-outs. A wrong answer shows the right one, explains it in a sentence, and asks again later. Every quest pays coins, however it went.

🎯

It adapts quietly

Questions get harder as they improve and easier when they struggle — without ever telling the child that happened. You can pin the level yourself if you prefer.

🔊

Read aloud

Long questions are read out automatically. A child who can do the maths shouldn't be marked down for not yet reading "altogether".

⏱️

No timer by default

Timing a child who is still building fluency mostly measures anxiety. There is a race mode if they want one — you turn it on, and you set the length.

👧🏾

Someone who looks like them

Characters across the full range of skin tones, free from the first screen, plus pets to collect with earned coins.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Brothers and sisters

Several children on one tablet, each with their own progress, coins and report. Moving to a new device is an export and a restore.

No adverts. No profile. No sign-up.

This is a children's app, so the default is to collect nothing at all — and that is what happens unless you decide otherwise.

  • No account and no email. There is nothing to sign up for.
  • No advertising, in any version, ever.
  • No chat and no contact with other children. There is nobody else in the app.
  • Your child's work stays here. Their answers, progress and report live in this browser and are never uploaded.
  • Nothing is sent unless you say yes. During setup we ask, in plain words, whether we may collect anonymous usage data. The box starts unticked.

If you do say yes, here is exactly what that means: how often Brainy is opened, how many questions were answered, and which topics score worst — plus a random code so one tablet is not counted twice. Never your child's name, never their age, never anything they typed, and never sold or shared. You can read the whole thing in the grown-up area, and switching it off deletes the code.
