Screen time you can feel good about
Polymath is the educational game your child actually wants to play—no more screen time negotiations, just confidence in their education. It’s a creative world where your child can build, explore, and complete tasks while practising maths, giving your child the learning experience they deserve.

We have been playing Polymath in our house for a couple of years now. It has been great for my son to consolidate his learning and is so much more enjoyable than his book work he does. My daughter was so envious of the time he got to play on it so once she started being able to play as well, she was over the moon. She finds math concepts a bit harder and Polymath is such a useful tool as she doesn’t break into tears when she finds a question hard like she does with book work. I love that I can leave them with Polymath knowing it is a safe game and they won’t encounter anything I wouldn’t want them to. Thank you Pol!!!

Polymath has opened a new dimension of numeracy for my students. The engagement and buy-in from my students has enhanced the whole maths programme in my classroom. As a teacher, the data provided allows me to track, tailor, and guide students specifically with their needs

Hey! I’m Pol, your guide to everything Polymath. Here’s how Polymath helps your child build their confidence in maths…
We start by making maths fun...
Each child starts with an island to make their own! As they interact and explore they’ll encounter fun characters with math-based problems that challenge your child.
We build motivation and confidence
Our adaptive maths questions are aligned to your curriculum, but more importantly, the game knows what your child needs. As they answer questions, we adjust our questions to suit their level.
Then it’s full steam ahead!
The game will start challenging your kids to tackle trickier topics in a positive way! They’ll keep testing their maths by answering questions and taking care of their island.
See your child’s growth with Polymath reports
Reports from home and school! That’s right, wherever your child is using Polymath, you can see their growth.

Polymath is the learning game that kids actually want to play!
Students can build structures, talk to in-game characters and help them with their quests, decorate their islands and even play with friends, all while growing their maths skills.
Polymath is completely free!
For full transparency, Polymath will be introducing purchasable avatar assets in the future to allow kids to customise as much of their experience as they want, but no mathematics will ever cost money.
It’s always tricky to provide an age range because kids learn at different rates but our curriculum currently caters to elementary or primary school.
There are a couple of prerequisites for your students to properly enjoy the app (e.g. they need to be able to count to 100). Otherwise, any primary school student or student who needs to work on their foundations of maths can use it!
Your child can play straight away, but you need an account to save their progress!
You can sign up for Polymath here and follow the steps to create your account.
Absolutely! We've made sure we cover the primary maths curriculum. The insights are also helpful for homeschooling families to keep track of their young student's progress. We had homeschooling families in mind when developing this app so we hope you enjoy it!
Pretty much everything! Devices from Chromebooks to iPads can load up 321.plus and start practicing maths.
Yes! The app works without an internet connection once it has loaded. So when you're driving through that tunnel, learning will keep on going.
Using Polymath
Our app works around YOU. That's why our adaptive algorithm is so cool. Of course, learning progress will be better the more you use it and we do recommend a little but often (10 minutes a day or a few days a week). But, if you only allow screen time on weekends or one day a week, that's awesome. Our adaptive algorithm will take that into consideration and still give your student the best content to practice, however often you practice.
We send weekly reports to your email address. These include what your child has been working on and where they’ve grown. We map it all to your local curriculum so you know how your child is doing.
You can also view their progress on our parent app, Polymath Relate. This has even more detail, including every question your child has answered.
Not at all! You can easily track your child's progress and see every question they've answered through our parent app, Polymath Relate.
Your child can connect with another friend on Polymath through a unique friend code. When in multiplayer, there is no chat or communication function.
As a parent, you remain in full control over who can visit your child’s island.
We listen! We want your feedback. If you have some, please get in touch with us either at hello@polymath.how or on our social media at the bottom of this page.
Safety and privacy
As a parent, you remain in full control over who can visit your child’s island, and you can disable multiplayer completely if you like. Children can connect with their friends via private unique friend codes. All personal data about your child remains private and even in multiplayer with friends, players can only see each other’s names.
It personalises! Our algorithm takes your child’s answers and learns what they know and what they don't know. From there, it does a bunch of clever things, including spacing out the knowledge they learn so it's not overloaded all at once, or too slowly so they forget it. It also learns your child's rate of learning so it can introduce new knowledge appropriately.
We don’t share or sell the data that is collected, and you can learn more about what we do with the data in our privacy policy.

We really enjoyed playing Polymath today! The kids are really excited to have a new maths game to play and compete with.
I UNLOCKED THE NEXT ISLAND!
We loved the game. I have differentiated for my kids abilities and that worked beautifully.
My children love to play this, they’re always excited to see what new bloobs are on the island and building their house, they don’t even realise they are practicing math while they do it! They excitedly tell me how much brain power they have to then use on the island’s features. The 3 year old is jealous he can’t play and can’t wait to start school so he can join in.
The class made us play 3 times as they loved it!
I introduced Polymath to three different classes this week. All the children really enjoyed the games and were impressed that it would give them questions to suit their learning.
It was great. There was a lot of talk about what they found easy and challenging. I really liked the multi level choice of easy or hard.
I did ‘harder’ last time but it was way too hard so this time I’ll do ‘easier’ but I’ll do so many more
The students really enjoyed it. It's good how each question is matched to their ability.
I like that it tells you the answer after you get it wrong
The kids loved it, it was so easy to set up too.
I have really embraced Polymath since hearing about it last week. We have been using it everyday as a warm up for our multiplication lessons.
The kids absolutely love Polymath. Great job making it engaging for the kids and an easy sell for teachers.
WOW! What an awesome game!!! The kids loved it and you'll see that they played 3 full games in total. They really enjoyed it. We loved it and they want to play it again tomorrow! :)
Our kids absolutely love this app. They love the building and the problems! Best math app by far!
We loved it! Favourite thing for the learners was keeping the accuracy up and answering more questions than the previous round (goal oriented!!!) Thanks for creating it!
What do you like about Polymath? Everything.
It was pretty cool.
We really enjoyed playing Polymath today! The kids are really excited to have a new maths game to play and compete with.
The game was awesome, we spent a Friday afternoon playing it!! - Maths on a Friday afternoon - unheard of!
We really enjoyed playing Polymath today! The kids are really excited to have a new maths game to play and compete with.
I have outsmarted the game! I just need to buy a build kit, finish it, and then demolish it to get all these free blocks.
Polymath was great! My tamariki loved it and it was easy for them to use
Think we look pretty cool?
