For the grown-up beside them

It’s 7pm, they’re stuck on question three, and you don’t remember how to do it either.

Tonight it’s
long division

We’re not here for your kid. We’re here for whoever has to sit next to them and explain it.

What’s tonight? Start there.

Tap the one that sounds like your evening. It opens WhatsApp with the right words already typed.

Nobody says this bit out loud

Most parents aren’t worried about the wrong answer.

They’re worried their kid will work out that they don’t know either.

What arrives

Send us the question and we’ll talk you through it.

Snap the page or type it out, whichever is quicker. What comes back is a card written for you: the thing to say first, the question to ask when they stall, and three hints you hand over one at a time.

Grade 5 · Mathematics · Division

Your goal

They should see 144 ÷ 6 as how many sixes fit into 144 — not a rule to follow.

Say this

“Let’s not do the sum yet. Do you think more than ten sixes fit into 144, or fewer?”

Hints — one at a time

  • 1Ask what 6 × 10 is. Let them say 60.
  • 2“We’ve used 60 of the 144. How much is still there?”
  • 3“Can another ten sixes fit into what’s left?”

Avoid: writing the bus-stop layout out for them. If they copy your method they’ll be stuck the moment the wording changes.

The one rule

We won’t give your kid anything to copy.

Ask us outright for the answer and we’ll say no. That isn’t us being difficult, it’s the whole reason we exist.

No finished answersNot in the card, not in the hints, not if you ask twice.
It’s written to you, not themPlain language you can read out at the table without sounding like a textbook.
Teachers don’t mind itThe work is still your kid’s own. You just stop dreading seven o’clock.

Same 7pm, different kitchens.
