Thousands of people have used these drills to build a fluency and automaticity of number facts. These fast-paced drills will stimulate your mind and develop an agile brain. Every drill is timed, and users are encouraged to try to achieve 35/40 (5 minute drills), or 70/80 (10 minute drills) on each drill type. Just keep doing the same type of drill until your progress graph shows your target score. Multiple users can track their individual progress with the progress graphs. Students and teachers get hooked on these drills as they try to beat their last score!

Spirit of Math® Schools - the International Program.

Spirit of Math Schools is Canada’s largest “after-school school” exclusively for high performing students in grades 1 to 11. It is much more than tutoring. The unique drill system, curriculum, problem solving and cooperative group-work provide an all-encompassing program that has produced many top Canadian math students for more than 25 years. For more information regarding the after-school program visit spiritofmath.com. The drills in this app are the same type Spirit of Math students do for the first 5 or 10 minutes of their 1.5 hour long class and are proven to increase your speed and accuracy in calculations.

Allows for Multiple Users.

You only have 1 iPad? No problem! This app allows for multiple users, so every member of the family can have their own profile. Just create a new user and select your User Name - all the progress graphs will show only your scores.

5 Drill Types, Multiple Levels, Unlimited Drills!

This Spirit of Math Drills App has 5 different types of drills with up to 6 difficulty levels in each, and an unlimited number of drills. You can choose any difficulty level at any time – no need to unlock levels!

Key pad options

Choose between four keypad options to find the one that suits you. The number pad can be changed at any time, just by touching the number pad icon at the top of the drill grid.

Drill Basics: Inputting and Marking Your Drills

To do the drills, start at the top of the column and work your way down. The watch in the top right corner times your progress. You have a maximum of five or ten minutes depending on the drill type. Once your time is up, the drill stops and your answers are automatically scored. Touch the wrong answer and the correct answer flips over.

Progressing: Ten-minute Drills

When you feel you’ve mastered the basics, progress up to the harder 10-minute drills. We recommend that a score of at least 35/40 for the 5-minute drills and 70/80 for the 10-minute drills be achieved before moving on to the next level. Your highest score is shown at the top of the grid before you start and your goal is to beat that score!

Tracking your progress

Doing a drill just to do a drill doesn’t work. To really excel, you need to see your progress. The progress graph plots your score and timing for each type of drill. The red line shows the score and the green line shows the time. Just touch one of the dots and you’ll see your score or time and the date you did that of that drill.
