This app teaches mathematics one short lesson at a time, with a drill after every lesson and an explanation after every answer.
It is for learners of about eleven and over, adults included. Each examination course has its own parts, written at that course's level. The courses are being written now, in this order:
It does not send anything to an AI service or anywhere else. It does not copy past examination papers: its questions are its own, written on the same topics. And its report describes work done in the app; it is not an examination result.
Mathematics is done on paper. Any question with a calculation in it has a yellow pencil button that opens a sheet of squared paper for the working, but a real exercise book and, where the course allows one, a calculator are still the best companions.
▲ Back to the contentsThe app runs in a web browser, but it is meant to live on the home screen like any other app. On Android, open it in Chrome, tap the three dots and choose Add to Home screen or Install app. On iPhone, open it in Safari, tap the share button and choose Add to Home Screen.
Once it is there it opens full screen and works with no internet at all.
Opening the file inside WhatsApp, Gmail or a file manager shows a preview, and previews do not run apps: the buttons will not respond. Ask for the web link rather than the file, and open it in Chrome or Safari.
Tap Add a learner, then give a first name, an age and a picture. No email is asked for, and the free trial starts at once. Before it ends the app shows the plans; when it ends it offers a few more free days, once. A grown-up's email is asked for only if you choose to pay, because the receipt goes there.
Nothing is locked. The lessons are numbered in the order the course is usually taught — that is guidance, not a gate. A pupil revising for an examination can go straight to the topic their class is on.
One lesson and its drill a day, five days a week. Read every page, do the drill with a pencil in hand, and read the explanation after every answer — including the ones you got right.
▲ Back to the contentsEach course is listed here, with what it covers and how many lessons it has, as it is written. The courses are being written now, and this chapter grows with them.
Following Cambridge International's syllabus for examination in 2025 to 2027 and the one for 2028 to 2030, which teach exactly the same content. Core and Extended are one course: a lesson only Extended candidates need says (Extended) in its name, and in other lessons a page headed Extended only, and questions beginning Extended:, can be skipped by Core candidates.

IGCSE Mathematics has 70 lessons and 728 questions, with drawn pictures. The other courses follow, in the order listed in chapter 1.
The pictures are drawn by the app itself rather than downloaded, so they cost nothing to fetch, they appear with the connection dead, and they stay sharp whether the app is on a small phone or a projector.
▲ Back to the contentsTap a lesson and its pages appear one at a time — Next page and Back move between them. On the last page, Start the drill appears. A learner who already knows the lesson can tap I know this — go straight to the drill from any page.
| Kind | What the learner does |
|---|---|
| Choose the answer | Reads the question, works it out, and taps one of four answers. The wrong answers are the mistakes pupils really make — forgetting a square, mixing up sine and cosine, leaving out a direction — so guessing does not pay. |
| Put the steps in order | Taps the steps of a method — solving a projectile problem, for example — in the right order. Each right step is numbered; the first wrong tap ends the question and the right order is shown. |
Calculations are worked out on paper, so any question with numbers in it has a yellow pencil button in its top corner. Tapping it opens a sheet of squared paper with the question written across the top. The learner writes on it with a finger or a pen — Rubber takes a stroke away, Undo takes back the last one, Clear wipes the sheet — and Back to the question returns to the answers. Nothing written there is saved or marked: the paper is wiped when the next question comes, exactly as a rough sheet is. On a phone with a stylus, a hand resting on the screen will not draw.
After every answer, right or wrong, the app shows the right answer and why it is right, usually with the working. Nothing moves on by itself: the learner reads the explanation and taps Next question. A drill that only says “wrong” teaches a learner to guess faster.
About four in ten questions in a round are drawn from what that learner has missed before, so weak spots are practised until they are secure. Mixed revision on the home screen draws questions from every lesson the learner has started.
▲ Back to the contentsReports, Settings, Support and the class dashboard sit behind a multiplication question. It is not security; it simply stops a report or a setting being changed by accident.
Points, drills done, best score and the day streak sit at the top. Below them, Go straight to a part has a button for every course, and under each course's lessons Back to the list of parts brings you back up. Then comes Mixed revision, then the lessons grouped by course. Each lesson tile shows its number, how many pages and questions it has, and — once drilled — the percentage right so far.
Scores over time, seconds per question, a bar for each lesson, and the lesson board: every lesson, course by course — green where it is secure, yellow nearly there, pink needing more work, plain not started.
The questions this learner gets wrong most often, hardest first, with a button to practise exactly those. Use it twice a week.
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Questions per round | 5, 10, 15 or 20. A lesson's drill never repeats a question to fill a round, so a short lesson gives a shorter drill. |
| Sounds | Turns the tones off. Useful in a classroom. |
| Animations | Turns off movement. |
| Bring back questions I missed more often | Weaves past mistakes back into rounds. Leave it on. |
| Way of speaking and voice | Kept for later. The lessons are not read aloud yet. |
The report is written from the learner's own recorded answers. It shows drills done, accuracy, lessons started and secure, each course and each lesson, a chart, the questions missed most with the point each one teaches, and recommendations. You can print it, save it as a PDF, email it or send it on WhatsApp.
Understanding matters more than speed, and some questions take time to think through. A dip in recent scores often just means newer lessons are harder. Four or five drills must exist before a trend means anything.
With a class licence, the teacher's dashboard shows every learner on the device, sorted so whoever needs attention comes first, and what the class as a whole finds hard. It can also take a backup file sent from a learner's own phone, so home practice appears with the class. A teacher using Wake Mark.Book.Ap can bring the weekly drill marks into their mark book.
The app shows the words with a Copy button, and you paste them wherever you like. Copy first and nothing can be lost.
▲ Back to the contentsA licence belongs to the household or the classroom, not to one learner. A family paying for three learners is never asked to pay again for the second.
Schools can receive a code after payment. Enter it on the plans screen. You need internet for this one step: a code is checked with our server the first time it is used. After that the app works with no internet, for as long as the plan lasts.
Each Wake app has its own codes, and a code for one app will not open another. If the wrong one is entered, the app says which app the code belongs to.
A warning appears a few days before. When it ends, nothing is deleted — the learner's whole history stays and returns the moment the plan is renewed.
▲ Back to the contentsAlmost always the browser's data was cleared, or the app was opened in a different browser. Results live in the browser that made them. Restore from a backup — see the next chapter.
Close every tab of the app and open it again, with internet on.
The right answer and the wrong ones are far enough apart that careful working decides between them. Read the working in the explanation: the usual cause is a missed square, a minus sign, or a value left in kilometres or grams instead of metres or kilograms.
Read the explanation after the answer slowly, then go back to that lesson's pages. The app will keep bringing the question back until it is right — that is practice, not a fault.
Please tell us through Support, saying which lesson and question. Every report is checked and corrected.
Use the Copy the words button and paste into your email by hand.
▲ Back to the contentsEvery result lives in this browser on this device, and nowhere else. Nothing is uploaded to us. That keeps a learner's data private — and it means that clearing the browser, changing phone or reinstalling will lose the work unless you have saved a backup.
Settings → Save a backup writes a small file to the device. Email it to yourself and it is safe. Do this at the end of each term, and before changing phone. To bring it back: Settings → Restore from a backup. If the learner already exists on the device, the copy with more history is kept, so restoring can never quietly lose work.
Settings → Clear results wipes that learner's scores, charts, points, questions missed and which lessons have been read. The learner stays, and so does your subscription.
Settings → Erase this pupil removes that learner and all their results from the device. It cannot be undone, so save a backup first. If the subscription was bought on this learner, it goes with them — to start fresh, use Clear results instead.
