Alto provides short, targeted daily practice in Maths and
Literacy, from foundational number facts and spelling through to more
advanced learning.
Pupils practise at their own level, with questions selected and adjusted
as they progress. Earlier learning returns at carefully spaced intervals,
helping pupils consolidate what they have learnt and retain it over
time.
Primary, ages 5–11
Build strong foundations in maths and
literacy.
Start with Number Facts and Times Tables to develop fast, accurate
recall. Maths and Mentals provide broader practice in mathematical
skills and strategies, while Spelling and Grammar support
literacy.
Strengthen foundations and develop fluency
throughout KS3 & GCSE maths.
Maths provides targeted practice to address earlier gaps,
consolidate current learning and develop procedural fluency. Times
Tables and Number Facts help strengthen foundational recall where
needed.
Alto Secondary Maths is currently mapped to KS3 and GCSE mathematics
in England, with curriculum mapping for Scotland, Wales and Northern
Ireland to follow.
Alto Maths supports learning across primary and secondary school,
helping pupils develop fluent recall, strengthen their mathematical
knowledge and practise the skills and procedures they need as they
progress.
For example
Maths

Primary to GCSE · English curriculum
Personalised practice across school mathematics, from number and
fractions to algebra, geometry and more advanced topics.
Alto follows the curriculum sequence, addressing gaps in earlier
knowledge while allowing pupils to progress when they are ready and
retain earlier learning through regular revision.
Currently aligned to England’s curriculum, with foundational
practice suitable across the UK. Mapping to Scotland, Wales and

Times Tables
Timed
Primary onwards · Available UK-wide
Practise multiplication tables and related division facts until
recall becomes fast and accurate. Alto moves pupils quickly through
facts they already know, while less familiar facts receive further
practice and regular revision.
Fluent recall supports later work with fractions, division,
proportional reasoning and algebra.
In England, Year 4 pupils sit the statutory Multiplication Tables
Check. The MTC guide covers what it
is.

Mentals
Coming soon
Mental Maths Strategies
Primary
Practice in mental calculation using place value, number
relationships and efficient strategies for addition, subtraction,
multiplication and division.
Guided explanations reinforce useful methods, helping pupils
calculate more flexibly and efficiently rather than relying solely
on memorised answers.

For example
7 + 7 =
12 − 7 =
Number Facts
Timed
Early primary onwards · Available UK-wide
Practise essential addition and subtraction facts to 20, including
number bonds and selected missing-number questions.
Fast, accurate recall reduces the effort involved in everyday
calculation and provides a foundation for mental arithmetic and
more advanced mathematics.
Free with GTTR entry
For example
3³ =
0.25 = ___ %
Number Facts 2
Timed
Year 5 onwards
Extend number-fact recall beyond the times tables with useful
fraction, decimal and percentage equivalents, squares and square
roots, primes, metric conversions, powers of ten and key factor
pairs.
Ready recall of these facts supports learning in fractions,
percentages, measurement, proportional reasoning and algebra.
Free with GTTR entry
Number Facts, Times Tables and Number
Facts 2 are timed because quick, accurate recall is part of the
learning goal. Broader Maths and Mental Maths Strategies are
not timed.
Literacy
Practice that supports accurate,
effective writing
Alto provides targeted practice in spelling, grammar and
punctuation, helping pupils retain the language knowledge they need
when writing.
For example
If you work hard, you can _______ your goals.
Spelling
Year 1 to GCSE
Practise spelling words presented aloud and in sentence context,
with practice focused on words each pupil finds difficult. Repeated
retrieval helps pupils remember correct spellings, while exposure
to a broad range of words can also develop vocabulary
knowledge.
Free for schools. Low-fee subscription for families.
For example
What is the plural form of the noun goose?
Grammar and punctuation
Coming soon
Primary
Practise essential grammar and punctuation, including sentence
structure, word classes, verb forms and punctuation conventions.
Questions revisit areas pupils find difficult, helping them
recognise and use the conventions of clear, accurate writing.
Low-fee subscription
Across the United Kingdom
Alto supports pupils across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern
Ireland. Times Tables and Number Facts are available UK-wide.
