What the dyscalculia program is
Dyscalculia.io is a daily online practice program for the basic number skills that the free dyscalculia test measures. The daily plan takes 5–10 minutes in the browser and is built from short exercises: seeing small amounts at a glance, comparing numbers and groups, placing numbers on a line, remembering digits, adding and subtracting.
It is educational software. It trains and practises number skills; it is not therapy, not a diagnosis and not a replacement for a teacher or specialist. If you need a formal conclusion, read how dyscalculia is diagnosed.

What is included in the dyscalculia program
Both plans include the whole program. There are no paid add-ons, reports or extra levels.
- 196 levels across 10 exercise types, from dot counting and ten frames to number ordering, subtraction and flash dots.
- Four age worlds: 4–6, 7–9, 10–12 and 13 to adult, each with its own settings and pace.
- A starting point taken from the test profile, so the first sessions work on the focus area.
- Spaced review: missed questions come back the same day; dot patterns, ten-frames and small sums you answered correctly come back after 1, 3, 7 and 30 days.
- A progress map, daily streaks and a skills profile you can retake at any time.
- A parent area behind a quick parent check, with the past week's progress, a daily goal and an optional daily time limit.
How the dyscalculia program adapts to the learner
The program starts where the test left off. If the profile shows the number line as the focus area, the first sessions practise the number line; if working memory stands out, digit exercises come first. Within a level, difficulty moves one step up after quick, correct answers and one step down after misses. When accuracy in a skill drops over several sessions, that skill gets an extra slot in the daily plan and its review questions come back sooner.
Short, frequent practice of one skill tends to work better than long sessions of mixed maths, which is why the daily plan is kept to 5–10 minutes. For ideas you can combine with the program at home, see the dyscalculia exercises page.
Who the dyscalculia program is for
The program is for learners whose free test profile shows one or more skills that take extra effort, and for anyone who wants a structured daily routine for number sense.
- Parents of children aged 4 and up who want a short, consistent daily habit at home.
- Teenagers who need to rebuild basic number skills before tackling harder maths.
- Adults who want to practise privately — see dyscalculia in adults.
- Families waiting for or following a professional assessment who want to keep practising in the meantime.
Who the dyscalculia program is not for
The program is short daily practice of basic number skills in the browser. It is the wrong choice if you need one of these:
- A diagnosis or a formal assessment. The free test is a screening and the program is practice; only a qualified professional can diagnose dyscalculia — see how dyscalculia is diagnosed.
- A report for a school, exam board, university or employer. We do not issue reports, certificates or letters; the result is a skills profile for you.
- A tutor. There are no live lessons, no homework help and no person who checks the learner's work; feedback is short and inside the game.
- School maths topics. The 10 exercise types cover small amounts at a glance, ten frames, comparing numbers and groups, the number line, ordering, remembering digits, and adding and subtracting; times tables, fractions, word problems and algebra are not part of the program.
- A way to use the full program before paying. Paid plans have no free period and payments are non-refundable; what is free is level 1 of every game in each age world (24 of the 196 levels).
- A school or classroom licence. The only plans are monthly and yearly, per account, paid by a parent or adult learner; there are no school, teacher or bulk plans.
- The mobile app. The web program runs only in the browser and is bought separately from the Dyscalculia: Numeracy & Math app for Android (web through Creem, app through Google Play).

You cancel from the dashboard in two clicks. You keep access until the end of the period you have paid for, and you are not charged again.
Can I get a refund?
No. Payments are non-refundable, which is why level 1 of every game is free to try before paying. If you cancel, you keep access until the end of the paid period and are not charged again.

Yes. Create a free account and play level 1 of every game in each of the four age worlds, with no card needed. The paid plan starts when you pay.
Start the dyscalculia program after the free test
The simplest path is: take the free test, read the profile, then start the program from the result screen. The profile carries over, so there is nothing to set up. Adults can use the dyscalculia test for adults page for the same test with adult explanations.
