By What?

Division fact fluency for upper elementary. The natural companion to multiplication — one account, four operations, one classroom.

Built for every student — especially those ed-tech typically forgets.

Classic Math Games was designed with three access commitments that are rare in educational technology:

  • No download, no app store. Runs in any web browser — Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox — on any device. A student on a shared family phone or a decade-old school Chromebook can play without installing anything.
  • Fully bilingual in English and Spanish. The interface, classroom tools, and speech recognition all support Spanish. A student can speak their answer in Spanish and the app scores it correctly. Language is not a barrier.
  • Free forever — not a freemium model. No premium tier, no trial clock, no district purchasing cycle. Teachers in under-resourced schools access the same full feature set as every other teacher. The Classical Education Foundation funds development through grants and professional development — never through student-facing fees or advertising.

Why It Works

Built by a teacher who saw the problem firsthand

Classic Math Games was created by a former math teacher who watched students struggle in high school — not because they weren't smart, but because they never built fact fluency early.

🏆

Competition builds fluency fast

The same competitive pressure that makes a spelling bee effective works for math facts. Kids practice more when it feels like a game.
