The copied worksheet
Twenty identical answers, one original. The idea reached one child.
PUPILPLAY · FOR CLASS 1–8
Twenty fraction worksheets came back this morning. All twenty, identical.
Send us one chapter of your question bank. By Thursday, the idea your class keeps missing becomes a five-minute game — on the board, a shared phone or paper. No points, no streaks. It ends when the idea holds.
By Thursday: a game built from your own questions.

SOUND FAMILIAR?
Practice is where gaps close. It’s the first thing skipped.
Homework practice is meant to close the gap. Instead it gets copied on the bus, rushed before assembly, or swapped for an app that pays out in coins — and the idea stays exactly where it was.
The coin chase
Apps that reward streaks teach children to skip the hard question.
Someone else’s syllabus
Fun games, built for another board and another school’s gaps.
HOW IT WORKS
One gap, one game, two questions to prove it.
Every game starts from a real gap and ends when the idea holds. Teachers choose; the software builds.
1Pick the gap
From last week’s test or quick check — one idea per game.
2Build from your bank
Your own questions become a five-minute game, in your language.
3Play anywhere
On the class board, a shared phone or as a printed card game. No logins.
4Two plain questions
Each game ends with a re-check. If the idea held, the gap closes.
PupilPlayDidn’t hold? The game steps back to an easier idea and tries again.
THREE WAYS TO START
Build one game, pilot a grade, or hand us the bank.
Each way ends the same: games made from your own questions, aimed at your own gaps. Change your mind any time.

MAKE IT YOURS
Games made from the questions your teachers already set.

Upload past papers and worksheets — phone photos are fine. Each question is matched to an idea, and the ideas your children miss most become five-minute games. A teacher approves every game before any child sees it.
- Every game cites its source question
- A teacher approves every game
- No coins, streaks or ranks

WHY IT GETS BETTER EVERY TERM
Every game that works gets offered first next time.
Games that closed a gap in your classrooms are suggested first when that gap appears again. Over a year, your question bank becomes a library of what works for your children.
It remembers which games held for your children, so teachers stop guessing what to assign.

WHERE IT LEADS
Once children play by choice, you notice who wants more.
When your own play data points somewhere, we’ll show you the arithmetic. You decide what happens next.
WHEN YOU NOTICE
Four in ten children in a grade open games at home, unasked.
PupilLearnTHE MATHS · AN EXAMPLE
e.g. 120 children × 3 sessions × 20 minutes = 7,200 practice minutes a week
WHEN YOU NOTICE
Three in ten families open a home-game link you shared.
ChittyTHE MATHS · AN EXAMPLE
e.g. 400 families × 2 games a week × 5 minutes = 4,000 home-practice minutes a week
WHEN YOU NOTICE
One in five gaps closed through play re-opens at the re-check.
Zero Gap LoopTHE MATHS · AN EXAMPLE
e.g. 8 classes × 5 re-teach periods avoided = 40 periods back a term
BUILT BY A BALLARI SCHOOL · SINCE 2001
No coins, no streaks — and that’s in our contract.

Founding terms
Founding-school pricing, held for three years.
No reward economy, ever
No coins, streaks, badges or ranks — written into our terms.
