For grown-ups

🎮 How it works

• Pick the child's grade, then choose a game. Games are grouped by term and strand, so a teacher can point a child at exactly what the class is working on.
• The Quick Starting Check is a short, untimed check (five questions in Grades 1–3, ten in Grades 4–6, plus up to three more if a skill needs a second look). It suggests what to practise first.
• Every game starts with a short Learn explanation and a worked example, then a couple of Guided questions where the steps can be opened before answering, then Independent questions on their own.
• A wrong answer keeps the question on the screen. The child gets Try Again, Show Me How and Next Question. After two tries, the full step-by-step working appears with a similar question to practise. The answer is never simply flashed at them.
• Grades 1–3 play five questions a round; Grades 4–6 play ten. A star is given once per question, and the end of a round shows how many were right first time, how many hints were used and how many tries it took.
• Listening, reading, drawing and hands-on tools (read-aloud, counting groups, fraction tiles, number line) sit beside the questions and never change the child's answer or score.

👀 What to look at

• My Progress shows stars, games played, accuracy by topic, mastered skills and a suggested next game. It is a record of practice, not an exam result.
• The Quick Starting Check reports strengths and areas to practise as suggestions. A handful of questions cannot prove mastery, and a skill that needed a second look is not a weakness.
• Right-first-time counts and hints-used counts at the end of a round are a fairer guide than the score alone: many children get there with a hint, and that is learning too.
• Teachers can add classes and their own students, then see class progress in the teacher area.

🔒 Children's information and privacy

• Progress, the chosen grade and the games played are kept on the child's own device by default. Nothing is needed to start playing.
• A child signs in with a short login code that a grown-up creates. No email address, phone number, photo or birth date is asked for anywhere in the app.
• A grown-up creating a child is asked for a first name or nickname, the grade, an optional school name and a picture choice. A first name or nickname is enough — full names are never shown.
• When a child signs in with their login code, finished rounds and any Quick Starting Check are also saved to that child's account, so progress can follow them to another device.
• The app does not show advertising and does not ask a child to buy anything.

🔑 Accounts, removing a child and deleting data

• The grown-up who created a child can reset that child's login code. The old code stops working straight away and the child's progress and stars are kept.
• A teacher can remove a student from a class. That child's own account and progress are not deleted by leaving a class.
• There is no delete-account button in the app yet. To have a child's saved account and its records removed, ask the grown-up who set the account up to request removal from the app owner — this is not something a child can do themselves.
• Clearing the child's browser or app site data removes the progress stored on that device. If the child has been signing in with a login code, the account copy stays.

💰 Cost

Count Up Ja is free to use. The app does not take payment, does not store card details and has no checkout — nothing here asks a family to pay.

🙋 Getting help

If a login code is lost, the grown-up who set the child up can create a new one. For anything else — a wrong question, a topic that should be added, or a request to remove a child's saved account — speak to your child's teacher or the grown-up who manages the account, who can pass it to the app owner.
