Parents of Years 7 to 10 students
The best maths apps for Years 7 to 10 in Australia (2026)
29 October 2026
There are a lot of maths apps, and most of them say they're "aligned to the curriculum". For a parent of a Year 7 to 10 student in Australia, a few questions matter more than the marketing: can you actually buy it as a family, does it follow what your child's class is doing, what does it cost, and what does your child do in it each day?
We checked each app below on its own website or app store listing in October 2026. Prices change, so confirm at checkout. We've left out star ratings and review scores.
A note before we start: Tuterly is our app. We've included it, said plainly what it does and doesn't do, and tried to be as fair to the others as we'd want them to be to us.

Mathspace
Mathspace is an adaptive practice platform with step-by-step feedback: students write each line of working and get help at the step where they go wrong. Families can sign up for a free learner account. Mathspace says its content is mapped to the Australian Curriculum and to state curricula for Years 3 to 12, and it publishes Year 7 to 10 textbooks for the Victorian Curriculum 2.0.
Good to know: it runs in a web browser and has an iPad app. We couldn't find an Android app.
Atomi
Atomi is built around short videos, interactive lessons and quizzes, mostly for high school. It has separate Years 7 to 10 maths courses for each state, including Victoria. There's a free trial with no time limit, with some lessons locked.
Good to know: at $59.99 a month or $470 a year per student, it's the most expensive self-study option here. Yearly plans can only be cancelled at the end of the year. The "app" is a web app you install from your browser.
Edrolo
Edrolo is best known for VCE, and sells Years 7 to 10 maths courses too: video lessons, worked examples and practice questions, with versions for the Victorian Curriculum, Australian Curriculum 9.0 and NSW. It costs $150 per year level, or $400 for the Years 7 to 10 bundle, for 12 months' access. There's also a $60 a month all-access option.
Good to know: it runs in a browser, with a laptop and Chrome recommended. We didn't find a phone app.
StudyPug
StudyPug has short video lessons, practice problems and a photo search, from Foundation to university, and says it's aligned to the Australian Curriculum. A family plan covers up to five children with their own logins.
Good to know: the prices on its website and in the App Store didn't match when we checked, so look at the price at checkout. The website offers a 30-day money-back guarantee rather than a free trial.
Mathletics
Mathletics is a gamified practice platform for ages 5 to 16, with home subscriptions billed monthly or yearly and discounts for more than one child. It says it's aligned with the Australian and state curricula.
Good to know: home prices aren't on a public page, and the 14-day trial needs a credit card. It suits younger secondary students more than Years 9 and 10.
IXL
IXL is a very large bank of skills practice questions from preschool to Year 12, and it lists its alignment to the Australian Curriculum version 9.0 by year level. Family memberships start from $15.95.
Good to know: it's mainly practice questions rather than teaching. We couldn't confirm from the pricing page whether prices are monthly or yearly, so check before you buy.
Maths Pathway Homeschool
Maths Pathway, now part of Reflective, starts with a diagnostic test and builds a personalised path through video and worksheet modules for Years 1 to 10. It costs $29 a month or $299 a year per child, extra siblings are free up to five children, and there's a two-week free trial.
Good to know: it's marketed to homeschooling families, and its pages don't say whether families with children at school can join. Schools buy Maths Pathway separately.
Tuterly
Tuterly is our app, designed by the educators at Bayside Academics in Melbourne for Years 7 to 10 maths, following the Victorian Curriculum 2.0.
It comes from what years of tutoring have taught us. The most reliable way we've found to lift test marks isn't another lesson or another chapter of notes. It's sitting practice tests, finding the questions a student can't fully do yet, and drilling exactly those until they can. Most students revise the other way round: they re-read what they already know, because it feels productive. The marks are in the questions they skip.
Tuterly is built to make that routine easy to keep up at home, between lessons and in the weeks before a test:
- Practice tests on any topic. A short test on any topic in their year, one question from each part of it, with a worked solution for every question.
- Every mistake is kept. Questions they get wrong in a practice test go straight into their bank. So do questions from homework and school tests: snap one, or upload a whole marked test and the ones marked wrong are saved automatically.
- Drill until it's mastered. For each mistake, Tuterly writes fresh questions on the same idea, reworded with different numbers, so your child has to understand the method rather than remember an answer. Three right and it's mastered.
- Ready for the next test. Fix my mistakes works through the questions they still find hard, and study notes cover a whole topic or just the hard parts.
The aim is simple: walk into the next test or exam having already practised the questions that matter, with the confidence that comes from getting them right, and come out with better marks.
Good to know: it covers Years 7 to 10 maths only, not primary, VCE or other subjects. It isn't in the App Store yet: it's coming soon on iPhone, with Android soon after. It's free to download. At the launch price it's $8.99 a week or $29.99 a month, with a 7-day free trial on the monthly plan only.
Photomath
Photomath, now owned by Google, solves a problem your child photographs and shows the steps, from primary maths to calculus. The step-by-step explanations are in the free version, and Photomath Plus adds more.
Good to know: it explains one problem at a time. It doesn't follow a year-level course or a curriculum, and it's easy to use it to get answers rather than to learn the method. It works best for checking working after an honest attempt.
Khan Academy
Khan Academy is free, from a non-profit, with videos and practice questions across all of school maths.
Good to know: its courses follow the US curriculum. We didn't find any alignment to the Australian or Victorian Curriculum, so topics and order won't always match your child's class.
Cluey Learning
Cluey is online one-to-one tutoring rather than a self-study app: $99 for a one-hour session, or $86 when you pay for four in advance (prices from 1 July 2026). Its Cluey+ AI practice is included for tutoring students, or $30 a month on its own.
Good to know: a live tutor costs far more than any app here, but some students need a person, not a program.
Two that didn't make the list
Education Perfect is widely used in Victorian schools, with Victorian Curriculum maths maps for Years 5 to 10, but families can no longer buy it: its home subscription ended in April 2024. If your child's school uses it, ask the school for a login.
MathDingo is a low-cost Australian practice app ($49.99 a year), but it goes up to Year 9 only, so it doesn't cover Year 10.
How to choose
- If your child needs the topic taught again, a video course like Atomi or Edrolo fills that gap.
- If they understand it in class but lose marks in tests, more lessons usually won't fix it. In our experience, what works is practice tests followed by drilling the questions they got wrong. That's exactly what Tuterly is built for, and free step-by-step practice in Mathspace helps too.
- If budget is tight, Mathspace and Khan Academy are free, and our free maths worksheet generator makes a six-question sheet with worked solutions on any Year 3 to 10 topic.
- If they're stuck and losing confidence, a tutor, online or in person, may be worth more than any app.
If there's a test coming up, our maths exam preparation plan sets out what to do in the three weeks before.
Whatever you choose, check it covers your child's year level and state, and use the free trial for a real week of homework before you pay.
